[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the 20:56 poster who just poster. I want to add- it may take longer than you or anyone thinks (5 years for me) and there may be more failures than you think. It's hard to confront all your friends and fam with repeat loss and stories of woe. Not to be a downer.[/quote]

Just to piggy back on this-- you might think it will be cathartic to tell people in the beginning of the process, but as the process drags on, as it does for many, it can be painful to know that they know about your issues, but perhaps are not asking you about it, or perhaps are asking you about it in an insensitive way. In the beginning I thought it would be cathartic to tell people, but then as the months and years passed, it became more and more painful to be the one that was "still without kids" and people knew why-- as opposed to people just thinking you'd rather live fancy and free and travel and be young. I was at the point where I would have prefered that people think I didn't want kids than to know that each day, each birth announcement, each shower was a dagger in my chest. Eventually my extended family started to keep pregnancy announcements from me in an attempt to be sensitive.[/quote]
