At what point did you tell your family about your fertility problems? After 6 months? After a year? Still haven't told them?

I know we have only been trying for 8 months now but because we are coming up on 1 year of marriage people are starting to ask the DREADED baby question. I have only told MY parents and 3 close girlfriends of the issues we have been having because I NEEDED to talk to someone about it. But then I found all you lovely ladies!!!!

This was actually a topic brought up last week! Definitely on a lot of our minds.

I still havent almost 2 years after our first loss, but I actually just this week was talking about it here on JM and have decided that I will start opening up more when people ask about anything concerning babies. I think I need to give people the chance to be more sensitive instead of me suffering in silence over the things they say, which since they dont know what were going through, they never know that they are hurting me in the first place.

It took us 6 months the first time and only my sister knew that we were TTC. This time it has been 9 months but we are dealing with severe male infertility and we know that it is very likely that this journey will stretch out over years rather than months. So we told both of our immediate families shortly after we found out about DH's low sperm count and that he needs surgery. We are slowly starting to tell other family and friends, especially if they ask when #2 is coming along. It makes it easier, in my opinion, if those around you know what you are dealing with so they can keep you in their thoughts and prayers, and the very least hopefully be sensitive to your situation.
