Honestly if my family lied to me after I'd supported them through the whole IF process I'd be a little sad and that might kind of affect the announcement..not ruin it but make me just feel a little weird. No info either way and then an announcement would be more happy. Just my opinion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1176473 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 21:32:27 +0000 FaithFertility 1176473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stine_ciro: YES, you hit the nail on the head I don't have to lie, just be noncommittal. ..........lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1176430 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 20:36:02 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1176430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got so tired of people asking after the first few failed ones, that I just started being really noncommittal about everything until we finally did get a BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1176169 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 15:42:02 +0000 FaithFertility 1176169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I'm back and forth.....lol I can bend the truth when that tome comes and some how some way still surprise them!!!! Thanks ladies.....<br /> My emotions and hormones are all over today....damn Clomid!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1176090 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 14:25:42 +0000 shopaholic 1176090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they don't need to know about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1176070 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 13:51:56 +0000 swedishfish 1176070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't lie but that's me. My family supported me through infertility and they still let me tell them in my own time...except for my mother who guessed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1176064 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 13:46:56 +0000 bhbee 1176064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely evade the truth, but it's about feeling pressure etc - we don't talk about our TTC or issues at all to family. </p> <p>I'd say do whatever feels right to you! if you really like the surprise aspect, I could understand that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1175965 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 11:33:02 +0000 googly-eyes 1175965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't lie just to have a surprise factor if they have been supportive and in the loop all along. But then again I'm not a fan of the whole attention getting part of getting pregnant which seems to be a big deal these days.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1175847 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 09:15:14 +0000 FaithFertility 1175847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you ladies... it's not so much the pressure as it is that I feel so many other aspects of TTC are taken away from you. ....no POAS as I know by B/W I can't really surprise DH....lol....so I really would love to still give that family surprise factor a shot, more for my personal joy, but if it goes well for theirs too!!!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1175831 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 08:59:44 +0000 mrs. 64 1175831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would lie or be evasive if it helped keep the pressure off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1175804 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 08:23:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1175804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of lying, so I wouldn't do it, but I might just stop talking about it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1175798 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 08:14:23 +0000 Happygal 1175798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, didn't see you started a separate thread for this! I'll cut and paste by reply from the IF check-in below:</p> <p>I love surprises and would go for it. My husband is another story, and he would worry that it would build up expectations and hopes too much. I say to go with whatever feels right for you and your DH, and really hope this IUI is the one for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1175786 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 07:59:28 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1175786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never told family that it didn't go well when it did, but I've kept things from them because I didn't want to talk about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1175734 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 06:08:35 +0000 Caly 1175734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't see anything wrong with telling them the cycle was cancelled, etc. You do whatever makes you most comfortable &amp; perhaps having others not know will take some pressure off. Good luck! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lying-about-iui-to-family#post-1175724 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 05:25:15 +0000 FaithFertility 1175724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really considering and lying to my family that this cycle is over for us if I end up doing the IUI next weekend.....they already know I started the cycle, but I could say I didn't respond to meds or something</p> <p>I feel that I want to be able to give them and me that surprise factor of all goes well. ........ thoughts? </p>
