hi jojo!

I too just started IVF - cycle in Oct, was my first, and am going for a second cycle in december.
I too... am usually an open book, and have found keeping the secret quite difficult - and I don't care if people know it was IVF, but if it doesn't work, it's telling people it didn't work... and having to do that every time. Someone in BB once wrote that it is watching everyone else's disappointment that is difficult, you're disappointed enough yourself when it doens't work, and then you have to see/stay calm/cope, with other people who care about you being disappointed as well.

I mean few people go around telling everyone... "oh I had sex this month, right around the time I ovulated, but unfortunately it didn't 'catch'..." so if you don't want to tell anyone - that would be perfectly okay

Definitely I have found talking on BB has been the best thing to help me cope with all the IVF stuff. It has been a lifesaver.

good luck with it all

sending your way
