What to tell family if you aren’t sharing with them your IVF journey
Curious if anyone else is like me and not sharing their journey through IVF with their family. For us my husband had a vasectomy (which his family knows about) due to the high risk medical needs I have, any pregnancy must be controlled and heavily watched so that I don’t have complications arise like we did in my last pregnancy years ago.
We always felt like our family should grow so I went through clearance and extra steps to become clear for IVF, and am currently 8 weeks along.
Curious for those that don’t share, what would you or have you considered telling family one day.
I’m so nervous our families are super judgmental and in their religion IVF isn’t right, although we know it’s right for us.
It’s one that is causing me anxiety just thinking about it but im so happy and looking forward to this. I’m thinking we just say it was a little miracle and leave it at that. My husband thinks we should just tell folks he got it reversed so that they don’t question it… but I’d rather not lie.
Either way I feel like both sides of our family someone will judge I just don’t want to be stressed nor explain as I don’t feel that they have a right to know about the IVF journey nor do I want them to look down on our child in any way.
Thx all for any advice, sorry for the circling post I’m just so anxious
