We have decided that we are not telling people (if we are so lucky to get our girl), I have told 5 people we are trying it, 3 really close friends and my mum and sister (none of which have told their partners). We will not be telling anyone else.
Did you tell people and not care what people said, or did you keep it secret like we are going too?
I think we won't tell it to friends (because they can't understand it). I will tell it to my parents (I think they would tell it to the whole family hahahhaha)
In my situation my mum knows and my best friend. Sometimes I wish I could even take back the fact I told them! My advice tell a few as you can. Reassess when bubs is 5, and see if it really even matters then....
No.
We did not and will not tell anyone. (Other than my OB.)
Nopety nope only my mum and dh mum :)
Oh and my dad
Both my parents know-
If it works, we will be honest with anybody who asks but we won't offer the information. I'm guessing there won't be any questions as 1. We actually need IVF to conceive so that part is known and 2. We are trying for B/G twins. If somebody asks how we lucked out with B/G twins (if we are so lucky), I'll tell them about PGD.
Ive actually shared my story with quite a few people and everyone has been really supportive. Most of them have been women and are completely understanding of the issue of me needing to raise/have a daughter to feel complete.
I have thought about this a lot for if we decide to go HT and no we wouldn't tell anyone at all. So, it would be between myself and my husband, I just don't think people would be very understanding.
