I was just wondering if you ladies tell people when you are going through a treatment? Our last IVF cycle we pretty much just told family members. When we got our BFN last Monday it was the worst thing having to call everyone and tell them the news. Everyone knew what day we were getting out Beta test and I felt like I had to relive that call over and over again. My mom had a knee replacement surgery that day and the first thing she asked my dad when she woke up was if he'd heard anything from me. I felt like I was adding to her pain by telling her it didn't work. We will probably be doing an FET in January and I feel like keeping it a secret even from family.
Sometimes I just wish I could be like everyone else and be able to just announce a pregnancy without everyone knowing every detail of my treatment.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Since you have already shared with them once, if you don't tell them when your next cycle will be, they will keep bugging you asking when it will be. For your own sanity, I would tell them. Good Luck!
I don't tell people at work for many reasons.
I think since I have the support I found here at DS, I do not feel I need to tell everyone any more. Before I came here I needed to talk to people about it b/c it was making me crazy.
I am sorry you got BFN. I know how much it hurts.
The call to family was hard too. My grandmother had just lost her husband and wanted to help me out financially and it was really hard to tell her that it didn't work. I wanted to give her good news as badly as I wanted to hear it for myself. My father-in-law is dying of lung cancer also and he had very high hopes.
We have decided not to tell anyone the second time around. It won't be until next year sometime, but I think that will be easier in the long run.
