I've only read the first 3-4 entries in your blog, and don't know how I found it, but I LOVE how honest you are and it's inspiring me to get my thoughts down on paper! Maybe I'll blog in the future but it's not really appropriate for my line of work.Laura Kellermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02101573480699504277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426528274498379178.post-81791191448699372092008-08-02T17:22:00.000-07:002008-08-02T17:22:00.000-07:00Hi I hope you don't mind if I comment. I found you...Hi I hope you don't mind if I comment. I found your blog from Stirrup Queens. I have endometriosis too, it sucks! I wish I could answer your question. People respond in so many different ways so I am always a little cautious before sharing. Some people think they know just what you need to do to get pregnant. I had a lady once tell me if I wanted to get pregnant I just had to sit next to pregnant women! Some people feel weird and change the subject, some people can be very ignorant and hurtful, and then there are the very few people that actually listen and try to understand. I am glad I found your blog and once again I hope you don't mind me commenting, sorry I couldn't help more, I am still trying to figure out that whole situation as well!Mekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176894227694159743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426528274498379178.post-4257615758903390532008-07-29T15:37:00.000-07:002008-07-29T15:37:00.000-07:00Have you read the book Waiting For Daisy?

While I was (spoiler alert) irritated at her "happy ending" (just my jealousy bc I don't have my own 'happy ending') there were several points in the book that have stuck with me. One of those being that here in our western culture things like infertility and miscarriage are completely not talked about and misunderstood, while over in other countries they are widely talked about and not treated like the plague.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426528274498379178.post-7902646372812941582008-07-29T06:58:00.000-07:002008-07-29T06:58:00.000-07:00I am very open about my infertility, and I know wh...I am very open about my infertility, and I know what you mean about not wanting it to be awkward. If I don't really want to go into it, my new line is that we are trying to have a baby, but that we are experiencing technical difficulties. :)<BR/><BR/>The only bad thing is that being open about it results in lots and lots an unsolicited advice.
