[quote=Anonymous]I have varied experiences about telling and not telling people/friends. 
I told a few friends who I thought would be okay. But I started getting unnecessary advises like "why are you torturing yourself with injections? Why can't you adopt?" as if babies on adoptions grow on trees. I also have to tell them that adoption seems an easy option until that starts getting your inevitable option. 
I did not tell some people about infertility and I am happy about that sometimes and regret about it other times. I get tired of lying to people about my constant appointments. That's when I feel like just telling them the truth but the risk is about getting free advises. 
I recommend online support like Resolve or other forums. You will find people who can truly understand you and where you can vent out. 
Remember, once you tell your friends, there is no undoing. If you find success soon, it should be good. If you don't find success soon, it will be a pain in the ass as your identity among your friends will be "that friend who is doing IVF for a baby". [/quote]
