It's been awhile since I've posted and quite a few things have happened since.

We had a consultation with a new RE that I found through the Resolve Walk of Hope at the end of April. I had decided I was tired of not having any answers, so I set out to seek for some.

During the consultation we discussed our TTC history and what my previous OB diagnosed. My previous OB diagnosed me as anovulatory. I never shared that here when I received that information. I never truly believed his diagnosis.

After that he went over his different level of tests they run. He told me we should do the first level of testing which includes:

• Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) (CD 7-11)
• Semen analysis
• Post-coital test and an internal ultrasound (CD 14-16)

He went over what every test was and what they would do. But little did he know that I knew what each of them was. I've been in the TTC community long enough to learn a thing or two. He explained to us how some doctors find the post-coital to be a bit outdated, but he explained his reasoning behind why he still does it. Which I felt was a good reason.

Both of us felt comfortable with him as a person and doctor.

So we started level one testing...

I got my first ridiculous Facebook comment yesterday.

"Hey I say start the process of adoption and watch God do a miracle!!!
U'll be pregnant soon! Happens a lot!"

This comment came after I posted this:

"Infertility is a heart-wrenching, faith-questioning, relationship-testing, life-altering experience. April is Infertility Awareness Month. Whether a friend, a family member, a colleague or yourself has fought through this difficult fate that MILLIONS of people are fighting day in and day out, post this as your status if you or someone you know has walked to hell & back for the chance to be a MOM or DAD."

I was baffled and confused.  And most of all pissed.  I didn't want to respond on the heat of the moment, so I decided I would leave the comment there and either respond or message her the next day.  But lo and behold my dear friend Holly, that I've met through the blogging community, left a great response to this woman since I was too stunned to respond nicely. 

"that is a common misconception that often hurts and diminishes the reality of those who are trying to conceive as well as those who are trying to or have adopted"

The thing that bugs me the most about this comment is how out of the blue it came.  I've never once mentioned that we are TTC on Facebook and I've never once mentioned that we've been having difficulties TTC.  So the fact that this woman (who hardly knows me) just posted this on my wall without knowing anything about my situation is just frustrating.

For National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW), I'm thinking about coming out of the closet on Facebook.  I still want to discuss it with Rob, but chances are high that I'll be coming out.

I know many of you did last year.  How did you say?  I could use help.
