Re: Poll of sorts
For me it depends on the situation. My first m/c we told only our immediate families and a few close friends. I didn't talk about it. After my 2nd m/c we only told close friends and SIL. Our parents still dont' know we lost twins a few months before getting pregnant with Evan but I'll openly talk about it on here or with coworkers. I tend to talk to my mom friends more about that kind of stuff because they can relate. My mom has never been pregnant so I don't really talk to her about the in depth stuff....more general.
If it were something that could seriously impact my life I think I would only tell close family (like parents and SIL...that's it) and not want others to know. Maybe a friend I could vent to/confide in but, overall, I'm very private so I wouldn't share it much at all.
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
I think it depends on what the situation is. I never told my brother about my IF issues until recently. I told my parents everything. I usually only tell others when it's applicable (someone going through the same thing, etc.), but I am typically kind of private when it comes to people who just don't need to know (doesn't affect them in any way).
I think it would depend on the situation as to whom I told and how much. I think family and friends can be very supportive and sometimes you need that support even if you dont think you do. However, sometimes people can meddle too much or worry too much, so I'd say to them here is what is going on, be there for me and my family, but dont freak on me.
Whatever is going on I will keep you and your fam in my thoughts and prayers. {{HUGS}}

I am more apt to talk to close friends about medical stuff mainly because my mom has enough of her own medical issues and my MIL is just plain nosey. My mom knows that we had trouble getting pregnant, but knows none of the details. My MIL knows nothing about it....just the other day she said "yep, we waited 4 looooong years for this little guy" when talking to her friend in front of me. I had to walk away to stop myself from smacking her &/or crying. My BFF and a couple close girlfriends know the whole shebang and were invaluable to me during the process. Sorry you are going thru whatever it is
