TTC After a Loss
if I don't change my FB status
will you all think I'm awful (or do you already think that and you just aren't saying anything to me)? There is a huge part of me that feels guilty for not changing my status to the great statement that many of you have done - but in reality I have Judges that I appear before daily on my friend list that I couldn't really handle them knowing such personal info about me.
I sent an invite to join the cause to a large portion of my friend list - those that know of my losses and many that don't - but the public announcement is just not the right thing for me.
m/c#1 07/16/08 (11 weeks), m/c#2 10/10/08 (8 weeks).
and then nothing since except every test possible (no answers).
IUI#1 and #2: BFNs
Super lucky to be buddies with Peetie.

Re: if I don't change my FB status
I will still be your friend. I still like you.
I changed my status because everyone I know knows about my 1st loss. Only a few know about the second.
10/08 Clomid Cycle #1 = m/c 11/7/08 (6 weeks)
03/09 Clomid Cycle #2 = BFN
3 rounds of Femara + Ovidrel + IUI =BFN
10/18/09 2nd Break Cycle (post HSG) before IVF #1 = BFP!
? The world thought I had it all, but I was waiting for you. ?

you know what is right for you. and i respect that.
i still think you are pretty darn cool.
Of course you're not awful! I completely understand and respect anyone's decision to not post about today.... it's your own choice and you have to do what you feel comfortable.
I am comfortable with posting because everyone knows about all three of my losses.... I don't get questions, just hugs and likes and family telling me they will light a candle for my angels.
I'm right there with you (see post one up from yours) and don't have nearly as good a reason as you do. Exposing something this painful is scary and perhaps not right for you in the FB world.
Still loving ya.
Ditto suntoto! (i forgot about the "quote" button).
I"m starting at my status right now unable to hit "share" just because of the backlash I could get from 2 ignorant people.

Not at all... I think it's a personal decision and I think that depends on who you have as your FB friends. I made my status generally speaking and didn't "admit" to having suffered a loss myself. You're not awful in the slightest!
PAL/PGAL Welcome
I'm not posting either, for the same reason. My work "friends" on Facebook far outnumber my friend friends. I tried to think of a general wording, but I never post things like that so it'd raise way too many eyebrows I don't want up in my business.
I feel guilty too.
