Happy NIAW week!

Hi Ladies - 

As many, many of you know today starts National Infertility Awareness Week.  For those of you who are (or plan to come out) this week on social media - this is a great time to advocate for more awareness for IF.  

There are several websites, including resolve.org and theinfertilityvoice.com that can help if you're looking for inspiration on what to post, timeline covers, etc.  And searching "infertility" on pinterest can give you some insightful, insiprational or funny pics.   

If you need more ideas, my blog (linked in siggy) in April 2011 as a post entitles "The plan" that has my week long updates from that year of what I posted.  

And for those of you who wish to stay out of the public, don't worry - many of us will be your voice for you this week.

Everyone has come out so eloquently, with such amazing posts and stories. I have been terrified to go public, but all of your courage inspired me, so I did. I'm still scared, but I'm honored to be surrounded by such an amazing support system.<3

A friend of mine had a great idea that I'm going to use for later in the week:

I'm so impressed with everyone who has decided to come out.  I wish I had that strength.  It took us a while just to tell DH's parents which he did on Friday.  thinking of everyone this week
