Do you feel isolated during IVF?

I knew the IVF process would be difficult, but I didn't expect to feel so lonely and isolated. We made the decision to not tell many people about the process. Only my mom knows and one friend. The past two weeks have really gotten to me. When on stims, I avoided social activities because I didn't want to drink and didn't want people noticing, plus I had to be home at 9pm every night for meds. Now after retrieval, I am so visibly bloated that I am again avoiding everyone because they'll wonder what's going on. I had to miss a family vacation and many events. I think the fact that it's summer time is making things worse!! Maybe keeping it a secret was a mistake. But I couldn't handle people who don't understand asking questions. Sorry- just needed to vent! I KNOW it'll be worth it in the end/
