Crying is perfectly normal - I too do not like to cry at work but have on many occassions especially when full of hormones - lovely little creatures! I am usally a very strong girl but IVF just brings me to tears - most people that have caught me at my worst completely ( or say they do) understand. I think you will find most people will think you very brave for going on the journey and you will find most very supportive once they know what you are doing - DON"T BE EMBARRASSED . I have just started a new job as a CA (Chiropratic Assistant) I was completely honest at the interview about IVF but it worked in my favour - they thought if this girl is going to tell us this she is honest and thats actually what landed me the job. I personally now after 3yrs of treatment think its a good thing to talk about the journey - mostly cause I feel the more we talk about it the more the word gets out about how many of us are doing IVF and most people find it very interesting - last weekend I went to a B'day party in Melbourne and out of 30 people there was one lady who had donated eggs (just cause she wanted to) and there was another lady who had 3IVF kids - when the first lady said whe was a donor it made all the other ladies sit up and pay attention and a few actually wanted to know more as they might become donors - so I feel its very positive to discuss your journey - but I know alot of girls who don't want to talk about it and thats fine too - it really is a personal decision. Anyway good luck with it all - chin up - don't be ashamed of your feelings as they are real and valid.
