For those who have done NIAW on FB

I am thinking about posting something to acknowledge this tonight, but there are still certain people I am not comfortable "outing" myself in front of.  Did I seem as if you were outing yourself, or is it possible to promote awareness without drawing attention to your own struggle?

    I think it is absolutely possible to do a post without outing yourself. I did one last year that was very generic and just talked about having loved ones going through infertility.

    I was wondering the same thing.  I would be cool with it, but DH doesn't want to out ourselves.  Do you still have your post?  Or has anyone seen any good ones?

    I don't have the one I did last year, but here is one I just came up with and you can use...

    Infertility is a disease that affects 1out of every 8 couples. It can be a long and lonely road for that couple. If you know and love someone dealing with infertility please show your support by copy and pasting this as your status.

    This is the main reason for my hesitation.  Him and I are going to talk before I post.  I want to be on the same page.  Here is what I am thinking of saying:

    Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;}

    ... recognizes National Infertility Awareness Week (April 24 ? 30) in honor of 1 out of 8 women and men who are diagnosed with infertility.
