Not sure which is worse, being prodded with questions all the time or total awkward silence. Neither is fun. :p Hope you have survived OK! loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-12237546446533116052014-12-22T22:12:16.186-05:002014-12-22T22:12:16.186-05:00Thanks, Klara!

Som...Thanks, Klara! Merry Christmas to you, too! <br /><br />Sometimes I am strong enough to answer the question without being reduced to a puddle of tears and other days I am not that strong. Yesterday I was. <br /><br />I hate that your family found out because a family member felt the need to share your personal business. Not that it is something that you are (or should be) ashamed of, but it is your story to tell, if, when, and how you choose.BentNotBrokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10151724076659555122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-5757911696727330372014-12-22T14:08:28.625-05:002014-12-22T14:08:28.625-05:00I am glad you told family. And I am even more glad...I am glad you told family. And I am even more glad that you didn't cry (at least not in front of them).<br /><br />I agree, it is hard to bring up the conversation. It is still the easiest if somebody asked. Nobody asked me / us, so we never told them. But what they know is that we had at least one IVF and that it didn't work. They (my parents, uncle....) know that since the cousin of my cousin saw me at the infertility clinic once and she told that to the wife of my uncle who told ... <br /><br />She was the lucky one. She got a baby. I didn't.<br /><br />Wishing you a merry Christmas!<br /><br />xo,Klarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028863974858724867noreply@blogger.com
