I never thought it would come to this but if my HSG is clear in two weeks time I'll be starting IVF.
I haven't told my parents that I've been TTC, but naturally the subject of babies and grandchildren has come up a few times as me and my partner have been together for nearly 8 years now.
When I was round theirs for Christmas we were talking about that new research that suggests a baby could be grown from three parents. We were obviously discussing the ethics about this and my Dad went off on a rant about IVF and how if you can't have a baby naturally then you shouldn't go against nature.
I had been planning to tell my parents about the IVF if it came to that but now I feel like my Dad will will be disappointed in me if I go through with it. I'm not saying that I'm having second thoughts, it's my life after all but I just always imagined they'd be there to support me through it.
Do you think I should tell him or keep it secret?
