Are you telling others about your IVF journey?

Question

We've told only a few close friends and my parents, really just the people who know our history of losses.

Answer

I am! Lol! I mean I don't have it posted on my social media! But in conversations it aha come up with the most random people (ie the Gucci sales lady helping me pick out a pair of shoes) 🙈🙉🙊

Answer

With my first IVF we told family and after our 3rd beta we told close friends. After we lost the babies it was so nice to have the comfort of friends and family praying for us but it also really hurt me that I couldn't grieve privately without people constantly checking in on me and dropping by. This round we aren't telling anyone but the Glow girls. For me it's easier to grieve in private and put on a happy face for everyone around me, but that's just me 😁

Answer

I have been pretty open about it with friends and family. I discovered after 2 miscarriages, that women feel alone and ashamed in the TTC journey. As I opened up, I discovered how many people I know have also had fertility challenges. But I completely understand why people may choose to be private about it. I'm not announcing it on Facebook ;-) but I am open about it when I speak to friends and family.

Answer

I've just told my one sister and a few very close friends. My boss already knows due to June IVF, I had appts that needed to be covered. Now that I'm on summer break from teaching I haven't had to worry too much. I also would like to get to the end and tell everyone else we're pregnant and then tell them the how. We shall see!

Answer

Parents, brother (he's a microbiologist so he gets it) and two friends. Thats it. While im not ashamed of it, im a private person and just dont feel it needs to be public information, nor would people understand anyway.

Answer

I've told a couple close friends and my mom. I'm going to tell my dad after my next doctors appt when I have more information. I'll definitely be open about it after, but need to get to the after first. 
I'm a teacher and on summer vacation right now, so all the appointments aren't a big deal, but if it doesn't take and I have to do another round, I'll have to tell my boss and will def need advice on what to tell nosey coworkers!

Answer

I told work and parents but that's it.

Answer

Only told a couple of work people for work purpose. Nobody in the family until we r pregnant

Answer

There's a couple people that know. Only for work purposes. My family for the most part doesn't know. Only my older sister who also did I find knows from my family.
