  I am seriously considering it with DH. I really just think more people need to know about this struggle so many are fighting. I won't post unless DH is okay with it though. He said he is coming around to it but hasn't decided 100% yet. I'd love to see what others might be posting to get (possibly steal) ideas for how I would (hopefully will) post.

  DH kind of already outed us, and the beginning of NIAW is around when we would have been able to announce, so I just have to figure out my wording.

  Mr and I actually just talked about this last night. He is on the fence with "outing" us to the FB world, but Like @islandmonkey8 said, more people need to know about IF.
  
  I'm going to search around and see if I find anything I like from previous years and run it by him.

  I always post my blog to FB during NIAW (and it's the only time of year I promote the blog to my IRL friends).  I'll be posting each day, I've got some posts scheduled to go already...and I'm working on a few more.

  I would like to but we're not even 'out' to most of our family yet, just our close friends, and I don't think mentally at the moment I could handle being asked/questioned by people.  Maybe next year...

  We're completely out and I usually post something for American NIAW and something daily for the Canadian week. I figure if it makes one person more aware or less insensitive, I'm happy.

  If I find something I like I'm definitely posting, last year I was still a little Leary of outing us, but after three years I reposted the April fools message and anyone who hasn't figured it out likely won't.

  I'm not sure. We're not secretive about our issues but are also not completely "out." I would like to post something but only if DH is completely okay with it.

  Here's what I have so far...
  
  This week we planned on making a very special announcement after years of trying to build our family. Unfortunately, it did not work out for us as we had hoped, but we want to take this time to educate our family and friends about an issue that is near and dear to our hearts. This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. And then a link...

  My first post each year is the link to the appropriate responses for friends and families who want to support someone with infertility.
