@mrbee: yeah, it is! I'm so shocked at the responses I'm getting. It feels great!
@Mrs.Someone: yeah, I think I can share some comments. Let me figure out the best way to do it.

@bluestriped bee: that's great!
This morning I did get one "relax and it'll happen" comment. That's the only annoying/negative thing I've heard.

@Leialou: oh, man. I was thinking about posting a few more links and one of which will be a 'how to support a friend with IF.'
This is a good one. http://www.resolvenewengland.org/2013/04/how-to-support-a-friend-or-family-member-with-infertility/

@Leialou: @spaniellove: Ugh, I would delete those! One of the biggest reasons I don't want to share is because of the family grapevine. I feel like I'd get a lot of those comments too.

@bluestriped bee: Oh yes, I love how my dad swears gaining weight and walking 2 miles a day will get me pregnant. Because if that was the cure no one would would be going broke paying for IF treatments!

Ok, I posted 3 links and one was that 'how to' one. I'm hoping they read that link before telling me to relax.

@bluestriped bee: I'm so proud of you for posting something! You're braver than me Although I ran into a FB friend in the waiting room of the RE yesterday, so at least I know I'd have one supporter

Yeah for sharing! I'm so proud of you ladies! It's so hard to do and I am so happy you are getting mostly positive comments. Ignore the relax and it will happen. I heard that one all the time. Worst advice ever. I think the funny thing was after getting pregnant years later those people were like "see, I told you, relax and it will happen." As if they knew what had been going on for 2.5 years.

@Shutterbug: Thank you. Wow, cool, that you ran into a friend at the RE.
@Mrs. Train: Ugh, that would annoy me if I heard that.

@Leialou: Would like to THANK you for posting!!! It was your FB post that made me feel comfortable enough to post. I changed it to make it my own but your wording is just what I needed. THANK YOU!!

@Shutterbug: small world!
@bluestriped bee: you're welcome. That really means a lot.
