[quote=Anonymous]It unfortunately took us 8 years (sorry bad news!) and in the process uncovered some health issues. We looked perfectly healthy and glowing as we were attractive and athletic. I had 4 miscarriages. Friends would tell me "... just adopt" and what they meant was STFU. Adoption was not for us -- I learned that along the way. There were several friends I never told -- that became a relief as the years rolled on. When I finally did get pregnant, I was a nervous wreck and thankful that the internet support group existed. I could rant and rave all day long and never involve my friends. My IRL friends were just *shocked* when I told them I was 20 weeks along. Why didn't I tell them sooner? Fear of problems. I had preterm labor also. Of course I thought I would lose the baby. If you have a short time in infertility, and a high tolerance for insensitive remarks, go ahead and tell the world. Otherwise get ready for a lot of ignorant advice.[/quote]
