LondonMiss,

GL for your trip home!

I think you will find what you're comfortable with telling people as you go, but it might be worth making sure people are clear on a few things. There are a couple of other threads that might be helpful about being a supportive family/friend around TTC, but here's my rules:

1. Don't speak about TTC with me when we're in company or in public - unless I bring it up;
2. Don't make comments or ask about my sex life (unless you're willing to answer the same questions);
3. Don't place expectations or deadlines on me for when I should have a baby;
4. Don't offer advice...telling me how 'easy' it was for you to fall pregnant 5 times is hurtful and unhelpful, so don't do it.
5. Listen to me. Offer a hug, a listening ear, a smile. Don't sympathise unless you truly can sympathise.

I'm sure I have a few others, but you'll come up with your own - it depends on what you tell to whom, and how much you want to talk about it. It also depends on what you've been through, and how much of that you're willing to share with others. Just make sure you're clear about your boundaries and that the topic isn't brought up without your 'permission.'

Good luck, I hope the trip is lovely and positive and supportive.

Seph

ETA: I can't seem to link the other thread, but it's Friends and Family Supporting LTTTCers and it's under the Long Term TTC forum. GL...although I note that you're in the TWW and perhaps the above suggestions are now void??
