I say keep your blog and log all of your feelings that you want to share through this pregnancy. It is part of your journey to have a child.

In the end I just updated the blurb at the top so people who happened by would know where I stand. The thing I have most definitely found out is even after pregnancy and now parenting, I am still an infertile. Having a baby doesn't change that although it is much (MUCH) easier to deal with. <br /><br />I say do whatever your Momasitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687149140980965721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-56236938004391738162011-06-30T04:55:16.420-07:002011-06-30T04:55:16.420-07:00I hope you will keep blogging.

But I'd have to say, your title is about educating about the infertility journey, and your experiences with DE IVF are unique.

Just because you are pregnant, doesn't mean you are no longer infertile. <br />I do the same as you when it comes to blogs about infertility that are now pregnant. I actually prefer it when the authors keep blogging, because I know that pregnancy and parenting post infertility is not the same for us as it is for fertiles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-30411943799782385422011-06-29T11:01:14.776-07:002011-06-29T11:01:14.776-07:00I think it is up to the reader whether they are in...I think it is up to the reader whether they are in a place of reading about pregnancy after infertility. This is your place to document your journey. <br /><br />If you are worried about strangers clicking on your blog and seeing pregnancy news, you can always notify "stirrup queens" and see if she can add PG in the notation next to your blog.<br /><br />I personally hope you continue"Jay"https://www.blogger.com/profile/17519195747352626938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-6513724637493756132011-06-29T10:20:57.033-07:002011-06-29T10:20:57.033-07:00I'm a new reader and oddly enough I am 40 and ...I'm a new reader and oddly enough I am 40 and have TTC for over 3 years and recently you found your blog.

In my humble opinion, keep your blog, its your blog! I like it when people change the name so that its clear what the blog is about and when they write in the discription or somewhere obvious that it is a sucess after IF blog. The truth is that you'll always be an infertile, you earned that title after a year trying.

You can always like to it from this blog so those who want to keeo following can, but your real life folks won't have access to this blog.

I think that a blog is a personal space for you to get out your thoughts and feelings and you should not have to stop because you are pregnant.

If I am already attached to a writer, I can follow them thru their pregnancy journey- although I do not always comment since I am not always sure what to say. I do hope you continue to write, but know that you need to use this space for yourself and if writing does not help then maybe it no longer makes sense.<br />I am cdghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13174907373129154516noreply@blogger.com
