I've been ttc over 2 years. Since last year I've been going for more and more tests at the drs. Each time I get a result the more I'm moving down the infertility trail.
I've just discovered I've got PCOS. I'm obese with a BMI of 39 so even though I've been referred to a fertility clinic it's unlikely that anything's going to happen until I can shift this weight.
I feel so responsible. And I'm finding it so hard to lose any weight, only a couple of lbs a month.
I've outlined my issues to people at work (because of the appts.) but I have no idea how to go about broaching the fact with friends and family.
I'm quite a private person and I don't think I could bear the weight of peoples expectations. It's bad enough every time AF arrives when only DH and I know about it.
But, if I get any further into treatment, my DM would be upset to find out she didn't know or if she finds out accidentally.
Also FIL in particular is so enamoured with 1st GC (BIL) that EVERY TIME he sees me he asks when he's getting GC#2 from us.
Any examples about how's best to come clean? Is that the best thing to do or will I get inappropriate comments and sympathetic "has it happened yet?"
