We told people after our 2nd miscarriage (many years ago). And it was very liberating. I just came to a point where I didn't want to hide such a big part of my life from the people important to me. I'm glad you got such a great response, although you'll probably get some bad advice along the way, I'm sure you'll be happier to have it off your chest.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260959555997954257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888818354654918691.post-87793275804567906082011-04-16T08:47:22.988-04:002011-04-16T08:47:22.988-04:00I'm nervous about NIAW and you're making m...I'm nervous about NIAW and you're making me think about it more. I want people to know more and many people already do but it can be a matter of what I tell and how... how much is too much, you know?<br /><br />So glad you got good support as a result!myinfertilitywoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537466634453988773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888818354654918691.post-12261623260352584752011-04-16T07:03:28.184-04:002011-04-16T07:03:28.184-04:00I'm here from the roundup.

There have been some stupid comments, of course, but for the most part it's easier to have an explanation of what's going on. I would be interested in seeing the letter you emailed - my email is ckd 0729 (at) gmail (dot) com, no spaces, obviously.~C~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17023387821284924172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888818354654918691.post-57216689564464509222011-04-15T12:17:17.831-04:002011-04-15T12:17:17.831-04:00Loved your post (found your blog on Stirrup Queens...Loved your post (found your blog on Stirrup Queens) about "coming out" - it rings so true for me. I've been toying with the idea of letting people know for years now. Seems so silly, there's so much history I'm kind of embarrassed to bring it up now (I'm in the 2ww of our 6th and final IVF -ttc #2 for 8 years now). Mostly cuz of my age I think (45) - we never intended for things to drag on this long! But as you say, these are the people who love you, and I'm sure most of them would be supportive if they had any idea. <br /><br />I would really like to read your "coming out" email if you feel comfortable sharing - my email is musicmakermomma@gmail.com.

I'm sure it made you feel better about having sent the email.<br /><br />We are still "in the closet" to most people in our lives and will probably stay there until/unless I get pregnant. I turned 40 last month, and we've been married over two years, so I imagine a number of our friends and acquaintances probably just think we want to remain a DINK couple. Oh well.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872513410814268769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888818354654918691.post-15659309421820558592011-04-15T11:32:50.836-04:002011-04-15T11:32:50.836-04:00Here from the Roundup.
