You wouldn't know this about me unless I told you.
You wouldn't be able to gather this information from my body language, my appearance, my interactions.
You wouldn't know this about me based on my positive attitude, happiness, easy going nature.
You wouldn't know unless you asked.
Ask.
It's extremely difficult for me, or for others for that matter, to just bring this up in conversation.
To casually just say ' yeah, I have infertility' and then try to start a casual conversation about.
It's not a casual topic.
It's personal.
Extremely personal.
Personal to the point of being awkward if you think about it too much.
I'm telling you now.
So ask me about it.
Ask me how I'm doing, how I'm feeling.
Just. Ask.

Thank you for writing this. I think that a lot of fertile people just need permission to be curious and to have conversations with us about our disease. Thanks again for boldly speaking out. And I love that your blog is primarily poetry. So unique and wonderful.
