Did you tell people you were expecting an IVF / FET baby?

I have been telling if people ask questions, because I'm 39 and my kids are 7 and 5 I have had a lot of people ask was it a surprise when I tell them I'm pregnant, after everything we have been through I don't want people thinking it was unplanned or unwanted and saying actually we were doing ivf makes its pretty clear it was both planned and wanted ! That's my thinking anyway :-)

It hasn't occurred to me not to say it out of shame that we couldn't conceive like most people (well we can conceive but have had multiple miscarriages caused probably by chromosomal problems), you certainly aren't the first person who has needed some help to conceive

The lady down the road said to me of her baby daughter recently that she was 'long awaited and highly cherished' or something of the sort and it was enough to give me the sense that they had been through a long road to get their beautiful girl, and that she may be their one and only blessing. It communicated 'enough' without her having to disclose details of infertility or losses... perhaps this is the middle ground?

Go with your gut feeling. I was always pretty proud that my babies were Icsi pixies.... Defintely agree with santosha, that example is a nice middle ground if your not comfortable going into details etc Goodluck and big congratulations on your pregnancy!! X
