QOTW - 4/25 - Are you "out of the closet" with IF?

With it being National Infertility Awareness week I thought this was a good question.
For the most part I (we) are private people. At first (back in 08) I told a lot of people what we were going through. Then as time went on I became more and more private about it. People would say the craziest most insensitive things! Although they were coming from a good place,at times it was not what I wanted/needed to hear. Especially after multiple BFN's it would start to annoy me if anyone asked me questions. I knew I was becoming hyper-sensitive but I could not help it. That is why I LOVED theses boards so much. to this day I can really only talk about it with people that have some understanding of IF. If and when we ever try again I wont share too much info with others........I did that the last few times and It worked better for me.
I totally agree! I love to share my story with others that having a tuff time! I kinda pick and chose at this point though. like on a need to know basis. the rest has been all about self preservation for myself.
Taressa ~ Clomid can crack the strongest of us! It made me 100% crazy. I think I got over the shame really early...not sure why. I think some never do =(
With the people in my life, they know of our journey, though we didn't share this last cycle with them as we knew they thought we had plenty of kids already and I didn't need that stress on top of everything else.
