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...
About telling people: DH and I will be more discreet in the future. So far I have told all of my closest friend's and family and they have been incredibly supportive and (for the most part) sensitive to our IF. But I am just so tired of discussing it with so many people. I feel like going over and over the details just stretches the pain out with every BFN. So we've decided to keep our next IUI details to ourselves in the same way that non-IF couples who are TTC don't tell the world every time they have sex!
take care and all the best
I know they all wonder (family included) but it's just really hard for me to talk about, and I don't want them to all feel sorry for me (they probably already do though!)
Just hang in there and do what is best for your emotional stability.
