Do you share your infertility struggles?

Question

With social media, friends or family??
I am considering doing so but not sure my husband will approve. 
I hate keeping all this to myself.

Answer

I haven't told anyone in my family or friend group, but my husband has told his father and brother because they are very close. I was against telling them at first, but it's his journey too and he deserves to share it with them if it makes him feel better. I just told him if they ask me about it I personally won't talk about it because I don't want to, but he can talk to them if he wants to.

Answer

If I could have told no one about our infertility I would! We told just our parents because I have two step kids full time and we need help picking them up or watching them if we have to be at the doctors. And I wish we didn’t tell them. All I hear now from my mother in law is “did it work yet” and my mother just tells me that we should adopt. It’s quiet annoying. Sometimes I’m sad over it and wish I had someone to talk to about it, but then I have my husband so I feel I don’t need to vent to anyone else. He’s who I’m going through this with, no one else. And when I finally do get pregnant I also think I won’t tell anyone about having treatment.

Answer

Only the tried and true know the in depth version of my fertility struggles. My parents, my aunt, and my best friend. 
Each year I'll post something about Infertility Awareness, during awareness week. Nothing too specific about my treatments, but a shout out post to fellow strugglers ultimately. 
I don't use social media often. I'll post on Instagram if we travel but that's about it. My facebook is pretty bare as well. Randomly I'll throw a hashtag on my photo for IVF or PUPO day.

Answer

We just told close friends and parents. I actually deleted my social media during this process to avoid negativity, bs and anything that would aggravate me lol.. I feel it was helpful telling a few close people and now I have extra prayers for us in our IVF journey💖🙏

Answer

We haven't told anyone. Not even our parents.  2 rounds of IVF 1200 miles from home.  Gone for 7 weeks.  Kept it all a secret.   One day I anticipate we will explain everything.  But for now, I'm still "bitter," for lack of better words and I don't want to resent someone for something "wrong," they say to me.  Not sure if that makes sense.

Answer

I share with a few close friends and family. I talk to my mom and best friend about the ins and outs of it but a few other friends and family members know we are seeing a fertility specialist but dont know the details every month. It helps having support, infertility is really isolating. I am not the type of person to share that type of stuff on social media (actually i deleted social media earlier this year).
