How much of your infertility journey do you share...

...with friends, family, co-workers, etc.

I have told my sis, my best friends and a couple of people who I can trust from my moms group.

I've talked about fertility treatments with a couple people from church, but haven't told anyone that we've started.

I, personally, hate that look of pity you get from people when they know you're having trouble conceiving. So, when we were trying for Mia, we said "well, we're not trying and not preventing".

This time, we say, "we're trying, but haven't been blessed yet. We're trusting God".

What do y'all do?
