    Infertility Etiquette

    Every once in a while I re-post this excellent article by Resolve on Infertility Etiquette. This is an article for your family and friends who probably have the best intentions and good hearts, but they always mange to say the wrong things about your struggle. I've passed it to all of my friends and family who know of my struggle just in case they run into other people struggling with fertility (there are millions of us, so the chances are decent that they will).

    Super thankful for sharing this mtroth. Really is very helpful. I shared this to my family and they are very supportive on my decision to stay silent on this IF journey of mine.

    I also wrote one as well (I respectfully felt Resolve missed a few points): Infertility Etiquette (for your friends and family). This is all just my opinion though. Please feel free to read it, use it or ignore it. All my best - J

    We need as many books as possible on IF etiquette. I can mail it out to about 1000 people. If I had to hear just have a glass of wine, or go take a vacation one more time. I was gonna kill
    someone. UGH Thanks for these suggestions.
