I have no advice about sharing your news with your mum other than tell her straight out.... Who knows how she will react but a baby really changes people & usually for the best, so I hope that she is excited for you both at the prospect of becoming a grandmother. GL with ttc
Oh, how exciting - we are going to try for bub number 2 in March (we have one little frosty patiently waiting). FWIW we fell pregnant on our "first go" at IVF so don't be negative - it can and does happen, just as other times it might take a little longer.
In telling your mum, well I would think (hope) that she just might be excited about the prospect of being a grandma and forget all about how narrow-minded she has been. We didn't tell our family until after we had had our first appointment and had actually started treatment. Up until then it was something that was just between us.... I mean if we were doing it the old fashioned way I certainly wouldn't be telling them what we were up to (hehehe!). Like RhiChiChi says, babies do have a way of changing people.
The only other bit of advice is: just be there for each other. DH was my rock who kept me sane.
Just wanted to write and say good luck or 'Good Fishing' as we like to say in our family...which in this particular situation seems to fit quite well!
My partner & I are trying again (4th cycle TTC) at present. I've been reading some awesome blogs about lesbians TTC - check out Rosiesgrowingsnowpeas.blogspot.com & gayfourthandmultiply.blogspot.com
Both fascinating, heartbreaking, uplifting and funny!
Take care of yourselves & welcome to the roller coaster!
