April is Infertility month

reb259 · April 2012

Last year we talked a lot about what if anything you were going to post in your FB status. Anyone posting anything this year? What are you posting?

katib77 · April 2012

I have been working on a video that is "$h!t fertiles say to couples facing infertility" that my private FB group likes. It has things like: "Relax. Maybe God doesn't think you're ready for a child. Get drunk, that's how we got pregnant." etc. I will be posting it in my blog right before the NIFAW so that others can post it as well, but it's just a rough cut right now, and not ready yet.

Last year for April I did a facebook post a day and if you look in my blog back in last April I think the blog is called "THE PLAN" and it shows what I posted every single day for IF awareness week (last full week in April).

That was more stats and facts, this year I want it to be a more emotional connection. But if I can't come up with more ideas, I may repeat some from last year. I was also thinking of searching out all celebrities that admit to using treatment for their children, because sadly people seem to accept celebrities doing it, yet look down their noses at me. This will be pointing out that fact.

Your are right, sad but true. I look forward to seeing your video...let me know once it is in your blog!

For some reason I'm extremely scared to post anything...go figure. I think it's because I never post anything on FB so it would be weird if all of a sudden I started posting about IF. I don't know. I encourage everyone to do it though and maybe I'll find the strength this year!

I am too but this year I said F it... Cindy posted a great one and I borrowed it. It is more of a general statement. Look at my status.

I did it. My first status update ever. I borrowed yours too.

Nice work BeeBee, I just "liked" it! I'm now trying to find something to post for my own status update as well.

This! I wish I had the courage. Some people might wonder since my sister outed herself when she annouced to FB that they are adopting from Russia and had a link to her blog. Maybe after I am KU I will be able to talk about it. I wont out myself to the world that I DE (just close family/friends), but I would be ok talking about IVF.

I hesitated for a little bit (why does it feel so scary??!), but I borrowed it too

I don't know why it's so scary! I feel like a sell-out being scared.

I really, really, really would love to post something, however, I can not. DH and I have alot of mutual friends on FB that know nothing about our struggles. He said he takes it personally (obviously) b/c we are MFI and DOR. I have to respect his wishes. If he did not care, then I would have post something asap.

Le sigh.

I will probably post something during the week of the 22nd.

that was my first FB outing last year -- the same status as you all are posting -- I was scared too, and then said F it -- and got so much support from my FB friends that I had no idea were going thru the same thing.
