We are at the tail end of an IVF cycle (betas tomorrow and Friday) and I'm starting to get worried about how we're going to handle sharing whatever news we get this week. In the last month, the number of people who know that we're going through IVF has grown exponentially - our parents & siblings, all of our close friends, some extended family and a surprising number of co-workers (they kept asking why I was going to the doctor and I just kept telling people all the details!).

Anyway, as I've discussed this with more people, it eventually comes down to one question - when will you know if it worked? In retrospect, I know I should have lied or made up a day in the future. Instead, I have told every single person who asked that we will know by the end of the day Friday.

And just now I'm starting to see the problem... how am I going to keep the results to myself when everyone knows Friday we will be getting big news?!?! Today I've already had four people stop me and say they are so excited for this week and can't wait to hear our good news. I REALLY don't want to discuss the results with co-workers before celebrating (hopefully) with my husband, talking to our parents, etc. I think they will all understand that (although I don't know how I would keep the smile and happy tears off my face if we get good news), but I'm just not sure when we should spill the beans to everyone else. I can't imagine waiting another 8-12 weeks when all these people (who have given us so much support and love) are nearly as excited to find out as we are.

If you went through fertility treatment and couldn't keep your mouth shut about it (like me!), when did you start telling people that it worked?
