I have one close friend IRL who is supportive and I am very grateful for her. Last summer, when I was going through this for the first time she told me that she had no idea how physically, emotionally, and financially taxing IVF was until she saw me go through it. If it weren't for her support, your support, the support of the online IF community, and my blog I would go stark raving mad.

To not talk about it wouldn't be healthy and tough luck to the stupid people who can't handle it.<br /><br />BTW thank you THANK YOU for recommending the Infertile Mind blog - brilliant!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373638391320062445.post-50936459471247323102010-02-25T17:45:21.915-06:002010-02-25T17:45:21.915-06:00Thanks...but I chickened out this morning.

Its the kind of thing that can just engulf you and I think people who have never experienced it just dont get it! Hence all the IF blogs :) It is good to be able to talk non stop about it if you want to without people looking at you like you have three heads!<br /><br />{ICLW}Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979257233557088253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373638391320062445.post-37113728308054063442010-02-24T21:13:10.521-06:002010-02-24T21:13:10.521-06:00I encounter the same thing with my BFF.

Even my mom and my sister get all weirded out when I start talking about it IVF and then it just irritates me and puts me in a bad mood. So, to save myself and them, I've just given up. <br /><br />It sucks, because you feel like you're on your own, but that's why I have a blog!Soozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16180558301820706509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373638391320062445.post-38946652051822897502010-02-24T17:13:40.801-06:002010-02-24T17:13:40.801-06:00I feel the same way.

Although recently I've been able to channel my obession into budgeting :)<br />I only have one friend that doesn't change the subject or get quiet when I talk about IF.
