To keep it private or not?

Sharing our journey with everyone was my choice, it was something that I wanted to do, something I needed to do to get through all of this.

However by making this choice I feel that I have also robbed us of a special moment, that moment of surprise when you tell people you are pregnant.
I know that no matter how or when we tell people they are going to be happy and excited for us, but I feel that the surprise element has been taken away.

So now I am thinking that if we are lucky enough to do another IVF cycle, should we tell people?

I love and appreciate all the support we have been given, I wouldn't have got through this without it but I really want to be able to surprise people when we tell them we are pregnant.


If we do keep the next IVF cycle private I hope people won't be upset that we have decided to do it this was instead of being open as we have been. I hope people will understand why I need to do it differently.


I guess I have plenty of time to think about it, hopefully we will be able to do another cycle before the end of the year.....I guess I'll make the choice on whether to share or not when the time comes
