I totally know how you feel. The only person I have to really open up to is my husband - and even he's been useless to talk to lately.

My mother's reaction when I told her we were going to use IVF was "Well then you better get off your fat ass and lose some weight then hadn't you?" So I haven't spoken to her about IVF and the progress we're at again since. My dad's always worried about the money side of it but can't wait to be a grandfather.

Living as remotely as we do I don't have any friends, so I've just been shutting it all up inside to date and hoping when our journey starts next month everything goes smoothly cause otherwise I think I may well fall apart.
