[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 brothers, one with kids and one without. The one with kids was open about IVF at the time. The other one volunteered to me that they tried IVF, had a m/c and stopped due to financial concerns. Also that they were making a conscious choice not to adopt. I didn't agree with those choices entirely (my parents would have given them the money for IVF ten times over). But I did not push back on their choices, and when they swore me to secrecy, I've respected that.

Still, I sometimes wish they would share this with my other sibling. There's a bit of resentment on both sides, and I feel confident that there would be a lot more sympathy toward my SIL if my other brother and SIL understood that she went through the awful wringer of infertility.

So, OP, the point is that the rest of your family may know already what the story is. And that some people really do prefer to keep this kind of info to themselves, or to a small circle of trusted friends/family. If you went through infertility, you must understand that, right?[/quote]
