Hinky!

Something strange has happened a few times now and I can't figure it out. We've shared with someone about our fertility issues and they just clam up. They don't ask how we're doing or mention it again. Some actually seem to physically stiffen and seem very uncomfortable whenever anything related to our fertility treatments is mentioned. The REALLY weird part is that we then find out that they have talked to OTHER people about what we are going through. The point of telling people is to have a support system not to get pity from a ton of people you never wanted to know in the first place. It makes me wonder if I'm that bad at keeping a secret too? I think from now on I'm going to try to be really aware of keeping confidences.

I try not to get too upset about it because aside from the occasional comment that well, was oh so wrong, I realize that everyone just cares about us....even if it is in their own freaky weird way.

And...it turns out there is a side benefit of the broken confidences. We've found out that others we know are going through the same struggle we are....and we had no idea.

The good news is that overall our friends and family have been extremely supportive. They don't ask us all the time, but they check in to see how we're doing....or check this blog. They know there's times that we want to forget it and there's time when we need to vent...and they are there to listen....or distract....and we are very lucky to have that.
