Thank you, Sushee. I found the actual process of writing the "rules" to be incredibly helpful. Even if I never get brave enough to give them to the family, I've achieved a lot in setting out for myself just how I want to be treated. At the very least, it's going to be helpful in that if a family member decides to do one of the things that bugs me so much, I've got the words to express to them why it bugs me, and what I'd prefer them to do instead.

And thank you, Dani. Even if my family never sees this, it's nice to know that others will be able to take something from it and be more supportive for their family and friends who are stuck on the assisted conception merry go round.
