Have you told any of your family and friends that you are doing IUI, or are you keeping it to yourself? I know that sometimes you only tell the people you know will be supportive, I was curious what your experience has been.

My mom, sister, and few closest friends know. Some co-workers know that we're having IF issues, but only one co-worker knows everything. Oddly, my manager knows we're doing treatments, but I don't give her regular updates. She's been rooting us on to get pregnant for a while now. And I partly told her so she doesn't wonder why I call in sick or ask to switch shifts a lot for my appointments.
I've definitely noticed that the further we get into treatment, the less people I tell. I'm just sick of people asking if I'm pregnant yet. Probably my fault for letting on that we were TTC in the first place!

At first I was quiet and I still haven't told a lot of family. At work I told a few people then some other girls were going through same thing and so we talked. Overall though the further we get into it the less I care about who knows and I'm pretty open about it. Less people ask me all the time if I'm pregnant probably because they've given up on it, lol.
