When we were going through our thing, my mom knew a little if what was going on, but she also knew *me* and knew if she'd asked a single question I'd go ape shit on her. So, it was nice to have her there for support, but not be intruding. My hubs parents on the other hand, we kept completely in the dark. His mother is so annoying, and stupid (did I just admit that?) that we knew we could never tell them anything. We didn't even tell them we were wanting a family yet. I think you are making the right decision for you!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406591702871726587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-11023686379563576292011-10-06T14:25:33.448-07:002011-10-06T14:25:33.448-07:00We were really vague with our families about our t...We were really vague with our families about our timeline too. I didn't want the added stress of them getting their hopes up each month too. I was also shocked at how many inappropriate questions my inlaws asked us. I mean, it's not that hard to use google, is it? <br /><br />Best of luck with this cycle!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616675420814694058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-30821819469835153902011-10-06T13:42:30.618-07:002011-10-06T13:42:30.618-07:00I so totally understand what you mean about the wh...I so totally understand what you mean about the white lies. My husband and I are contemplating one for Christmas. I just don't think I can bear this holiday at my parent's house while my younger is sis is pregnant and showing. This is my parent's first grandchild and they are thrilled, I just don't think we can bear to put ourselves in that place. Mind you, this news of my sister's pregnancy already "ruined" our family summer vacation to Ireland...so here we are contemplating the white lie as well. BTW - I am pretty sure you and I will have similar timelines for our IVFs. This will be my first.Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-65477168884277694012011-10-06T11:01:23.421-07:002011-10-06T11:01:23.421-07:00I wish our families would understand like our fell...I wish our families would understand like our fellow infertile friends did! Wouldn't that be nice? As for me, coming out with it to my family still hasn't insured that I don't get the "when are you going to have kids" question. :(The House of Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041943735819898467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-44494124692116779692011-10-06T07:09:20.923-07:002011-10-06T07:09:20.923-07:00I think its nice that you and your husband will ha...I think its nice that you and your husband will have your own little secret! :)<br /><br />I also know exactly how you feel. Although my parents have been very supportive they seem to ask me the same questions over and over again. It makes me feel like they are not really listening. Its hurtful without them even knowing it.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11644706518882179013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-56663949591643678642011-10-06T06:39:07.125-07:002011-10-06T06:39:07.125-07:00ahhhhh this is why we didn't say anything to o...ahhhhh this is why we didn't say anything to our families about sperm donor.

It is a hard decision to share or not share and who to share or not share with. If I do another cycle I think I'll be a bit more vague with everything. It is nice to have an anonymous blog to share until my heart's content, however. :)<br /><br />Good luck with your upcoming cycle!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540357391500090255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-76826320220151525792011-10-06T06:25:48.440-07:002011-10-06T06:25:48.440-07:00I think it does add extra stress when family and f...I think it does add extra stress when family and friends know your every move. Even though they try and be supportive, they may not always say just the right things at the right time so I say do what's best for you. I think I would do the same thing in keeping quiet.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875307109685150842noreply@blogger.com
