The other day I was sitting with my oldest sister A, waiting to take my Mom to the Airport, and she asked me why I didn't want anyone to know I was having IF issues. I told her that I think it personal, and with us going to a small church I don't want it going around and getting to people that I don't know well or who don't have tact. She has never had IF issues, so its hard for her to understand, and I think she is a little jealous that my other sister and I have something to bond over. My other, older sister C suffered from IF for 3 years, she had PCOS. On year 3 of IF she was put on Clomid, on the sixth month she got pregnant. C has gotten me through some of my hardest days with IF.
I told her its all about your comfort zone. I feel more comfortable talking to people that I have something in common with, and I'm not saying that I'm not going to talk to A about things, I just wont ask her advise. I feel more comfortable asking C for IF advise. I think I need to find away to include A and C. But I'm still working on it. My brother B is a different story. lol

I completely understand about the comfort zone thing. Over time I have been able to be comfortable with letting more people in but it still ends up being a select group.

Sonja,
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly right. Sometimes I want to talk about it. Sometimes, I dont even want to think about it. :) Thanks for the comment.
