Hi J Girl,

I saw a naturopath too but not in relation to DH so can't help you with that one, unfortunately. I have to say though that I got my DH onto vitamins and zinc etc (similar to what you have described) and the resulting improvement in his health was astounding so it was well worth the effort in that way (he's not as conscientious about eating fruit and veg as me). Hope it helps you a bit.

Re telling people ... I think it can be very much a case of horses for courses. Some people you know will be great and very supportive and others ... well it's hard to say. I guess just follow your instincts, particularly if as in Sara's case, you know someone is going to be a bit of a problem either because they can't stop themselves talking to others or offering unwanted advice.

I took a policy of being very open with work, family and friends. It worked for me but I'm aware that it doesn't for everyone. I didn't talk endlessly about infertility/IVF but if someone asked, I told them. I found it kept the snoops away and sometimes it opened doors with other people in a way that was unexpected and rather nice.

In the end, it depends on your feelings about your situation and the people around you so just follow your instincts and you can't go wrong I think.

Cheers,

Mel
