Who Do You Tell?

By Kathleen

Dealing with infertility is obviously a very personal experience. Deciding whom you are going to share this with is often difficult. Most people tell their parents, but frequently extended family members are not in the loop. I chose to keep a close circle of friends involved, but didn’t tell my colleagues at work. This allowed me to have an escape at work, knowing people wouldn’t be feeling sorry for me or feel a need to ask me ‘How I’m doing’ each day. Having my close friends involved ensured I’d always have someone to talk to when I was really down.
