We are doing DE IVF and if successful we will definitely tell our child from as early as possible. My current dilemma is who else do we tell and when?
I'd been planning on telling my parents and siblings before treatment but when it came to it I couldn't as I was really worried how my parents would react and would they understand? It's a really difficult conversation to have and anxiety got the better of me. DH doesn't want to tell his family until after a child is born, if we are lucky enough to be in that position.
I had planned on also telling a few friends but I'm now rethinking that as I worry about how many people would know if they were to tell anyone else.
Has anyone got any advice on how to navigate this situation? I'm finding this really quite stressful.
