I was replying to David's post on what makes me nuts about TTC. When I thought about it I thought it was more appropriate to voice my concerns here...
My DH is happy for me to talk online about our issues. We have told our families and some friends about DI. However he is very reluctant to talk about it with people face to face.
Our clinic set up a meeting with all the IVF couples just before Christmas. It went reasonably ok except that DH would not talk in front of other men about DI. This made it very difficult for me to talk, and I got some very quizzical looks about why we were hanging around and waiting while everyone else was going forward. And I understood why, as there was no context.
We have another meeting in two weekends time. I am reluctant to put ourselves through this again, but I am also reluctant to get the IVF counsellor offside by not going, particularly as we have to talk with her about going through with a known donor (BTW, will she have the power to judge whether we are an appropriate couple to go through with this? - this has been worrying me no end).
