I am OUT on Facebook

In honor of National Infertility Awareness week - I decide along with some other girls from the nest to come out about it on facebook to try and raise awareness.

I have post a profile pictures of the NIAW sign - I put a brief description of our IF siutation on my page and every day for the week I am going to put informative facts about infertility in my status update.

I figure I would get good responses or none at all. Well the first comment that I got was "We are over-populated already"

So of course I had to say something back to this facebook "friend" So I said what do you mean by that? Then he said it was just messing around - so I said it was not funny and this was a serious issue that I was personally dealing with and that I was trying to raise awareness just for the fact that people like him make comments like that. Then he said he was sorry - then he wrote me a whole paragraph on his view on children and that he did not mean to offend me.

I am not sure how much more negatively I can deal with - but I guess that is what you get when you put yourself out there. You have to take the good with the bad.
