[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure I understand why being an immigrant has anything to do with how one will react to IVF. IVF has been around for a long time and not just in the U.S., Anyway, my parents happen to be immigrants and we told them and they were very supportive. They even put me in touch with their friend's daughter who had gone through IVF and encouraged me to talk to her for information and support. I think it ultimately depends on how close you are to your parents and in-laws and whether it would help you to have their support or would make it feel like more pressure. For us, we are close to both and it was helpful to us, especially after a miscarriage. Since we didn't tell a ton of other people, it helped with the feelings of isolation. [b]Also, it immediately ended my MIL's not-so-subtle comments about how she wanted grandchildren...because she realized it wasn't so easy for us.[/b][/quote] My MIL was like this too![/quote]
