Hi Sharon,

Congrats on making it to your two week wait and welcome to BellyBelly!

Technically ovulation induction (OI) isn't "IVF" as IVF is in-vitro (which means "in glass" eg in a lab) fertilisation. However all those injections and things are still just as stressful as in a full IVF cycle!

It can be hard to keep assisted reproduction a secret, especially as I'm sure you often get asked "when are you having another one?". It's nice to be able to vent and discuss things with close friends, and perhaps try not to tell everyone else a step-by-step update hee hee. That way you're protecting yourself no matter what the outcome is!

There's plenty of great threads on this forum so be sure to browse around!
