I have to say that most people I have told so far haven't reacted the way I thought they would! They've been supportive and even excited for us which is great. My parents were probably the worst, and to soften the blow I kind of hinted that it was a bit of an "accident" and that I was still taking the pill when I fell (which I wasn't, but I think their reaction would have been a whole lot worse had I said we were just 'seeing what happened' and I had just stopped taking it).
I think the hardest part for me is actually telling people...only my close colleagues and my supervisor at work know, I don't have many close friends anymore but they all know through facebook/community grapevine or various other ways.

Hope it gets easier for you RhiaMaree, try and ignore whatever comments they do decide to make, and tell the old biddies to go jump!!
