being infertile on Facebook

[GreyhoundsRUs]

I don't put any pictures of ultrasounds, or announcements about the baby on Facebook. The people who we are close to already know, and get updates via e-mail. Although, I hadn't thought about all the Mr. Bean stuff I post here... maybe I should be a little more considerate (?)

I think that it's different on here for a couple reasons - 1) you can easily avoid it (don't read those threads) and 2) we share our struggles and our triumphs. People on FB just share when things "worked" - not when things don't, so there is a skewed sample Don't stop sharing - I love hearing about Mr. Bean and all the other babes, big and small!

Just a thought...you can always block "repeat offenders" updates and still be able to check out their profile if you want to. I'm blissfully unaware that Farmville exists.

I completely agree with this!
It's a much different environment here

Thx guys! Just checking...
I have a friend who's struggling (and has been through all the IVF stuff, etc) and JUST finished the foster child care training with her husband.
They finally decided to try doing foster care/possible adoption, but for years, it's been a hard and sensitive road for her.
People like M make me aware of the other side, so I try to be sensitive about it.
