[quote=Anonymous]We started out with just male factor and then got more diagnosis as we got into IVF.  I told my best friend.  She has a PhD in Biomedical Sciences.  So between her science expertise and her emotional support, I feel like it was the right decision.  Even when I decided to do more experimental treatments, she was supportive even when she thought they were crazy.  I also told my 3 Sisters-in-Law, two of whom had IVF babies, and one struggled with repeated pregnancy loss before having a single THB.  They were a great source of support, especially the one who is also a pharmacist, who would help me figure out when to take what on my medication list--which got really long!  I also told my supervisor, who has been my number one cheerleader.  It was a calculated risk, but I am happy I did it.  It made all the appointments much easier to manage.

And I think that this is probably key: everyone has their own stuff about having children.  They are going to put their own stuff on you and you have to figure out if you want to deal with that.  I didn't tell my own sister because she had four children in 7 years and we just aren't close that way.  I also limited what I told my parents because they are conservative Catholic.  I like what a pp said about only tell people you would call crying at 2am.
