My husband and I were about to have our first iui with donor sperm before lockdown - in a way we are thankful we have had more time to think and discuss, but we are still so torn on what to tell people.
We are planning on telling my Mum and Dad and my husbands Mum (they know nothing, not even that we have struggled with Male infertility) but we are struggling on whether to tell friends. We live in a very very small social community where we know everyone (which comes with its ups and downs), where even if we only told close friends it would spread around like wild fire! Our biggest fears is that we would be treated differently (even if they didn’t mean too) and we would face judgment/gossip. Has anyone got experience of this or advice? Hope you are all doing well.
