    @bluestriped bee: I second wanting to see the tatoo! And glad to be of help.

    I prefer the week over just a day as well. Maybe we/I can find enough images and links to post something every day that week!

    @bluestriped bee: I just saw this picture on the Positive Outlooks Facebook page. I love it and might use it for IF awareness...I'm trying to decide what I'd caption it as though.

    Or this one with a simple "National Infertility Awareness Week April 20-26, 2014":

    @bluestriped bee: Nice. Is the graphic from Pixar's Up? Strangely I don't remember it...

    Argh I really want to share that one,@spaniellove: but really not ready to 'come out' yet. Also for some reason every one thinks their ridiculous anecdote is the exeption to the rule!

    @Snowdrop: oh gosh don't they? What I loved about the article was the very simple thing she suggested saying to support someone. It's all we need to hear.

    Changed my cover photo to the one @bluestriped bee shared, and shared a link on FB to a blog post I did about someone who said a lot of the "just stop trying" crap to me! (We don't have fertility issues, but I had just had my second m/c so when I seemed unenthusiastic about TTC, he assumed it was IF.)

    @bluestriped bee: I've got my blog posts all scheduled for this week, and I've shared/Facebooked/retweeted all sorts of NIAW stuff. Love all that Resolve is doing.

    @redsmarties: Oh, cool. Did you submit your blog in the Resolve Bloggers Unite Challenge? http://www.resolve.org/national-infertility-awareness-week/bloggers-unite.html

    @bluestriped bee: Sure did! Looking forward to reading others' posts as well.

    @redsmarties: Awesome! Yeah, I don't actively blog, but so cool to read all the other stories!

    Anyone have any more good images? In my experience, the people on my FB will take the time to read a graphic, but not click a link, so I want to be sure and not just share links.

    I like some of the black and white ones but the font colour is hard to read. (red)

    I'm also tempted to use the "I am 1 in 8" one and add the week/time frame on it.

    I can't believe how much my mindset has changed from not wanting to tell anyone recently.

    @bluestriped bee: I am just seeing this thread, I posted the april fools one (the graphic with the infant) the day before april fools or somewhere around there..not many people acknowledged or liked it. I did not struggle with IF but have learned a great deal from the boards, and can see why those "jokes" are hurtful (and frankly, they're kind of dumb).

    @sorrycharlie: Thank you for your support. It is so nice to know there are people who haven't been through it but try to understand anyway

    @bluestriped bee: your tattoo is beautiful!!

    I'm not "out" as far as our IF goes so I won't be doing anything publicly.

    Does anyone have any good recommendations for articles about Infertility to share? I've already posted most of the Resolve stuff.

    A friend of mine blogs, and I've shared her blogs from time to time. I think so much of her advice is not even necessarily IF related...it's just common sense.

    My two favorite posts are http://ttcataxsonbaby.blogspot.com/p/stupid-st-people-say.html and http://ttcataxsonbaby.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-single-dandelion.html
