    Me4ever, I think it's a very personal choice, telling people, and we all have different reasons for and against. It's great that you have discussed it with your DH, because it is a decision that you both need to agree on.

    I have decided to see it the same way I view my short-sightedness - I can't see much at all on my own, and though I could choose to live my life with very limited vision, I choose to have medical help for it and wear glasses and contact lenses, instead. No-one I know would expect me to go without lenses because nature made me so short-sighted. At the same time, anytime vision problems are discussed, I might mention that I am a contact lens wearer, because my problem with sight means I do have a story to tell. If my vision were perfect and normal, it wouldn't be much of a story! I think it is natural that people are much more interested in IVF than in unassisted conception.

    Me4ever- you could tell your parents after your baby is born- unless they are extremely abnormal I doubt they would love their own grandchild less because of that.
    My Dh hasnt' told his aunty who is very religious that we did ivf, so I understand where you are coming from, but to be honest she is so thrilled we had a baby that I don't think she would change her feelings if she knew.
    Babies have a good effect on people!
