How about when they find out your periods a day late they cannot instantly say 'you must be pregnant'. Like it's not something I dream about but I'm a bit more realistic than she is optomistic.

This is my Mum's way of being positive and supportive. I've never been regular but I got this tonight when discussing cycles, FET dates etc and I mentioned that it all depends on my AF which is nearly two weeks late. I just responded to her that after more than 10 years of no birth control, and 3 cycles of IVF I don't think it's just going to happen without intervention.

Mostly though, I think I'm really lucky with friends and family respecting my privacy and take my lead on what to discuss and when. This thread has made me appreciate that more than I did previously.
