So I just got the call from my RE that confirmed my suspicions, IUI #1 is a BFN. So tonight I will have to call my mom and tell her. I know she's going to ask me what I will do next and ask for all the details but I don't want to give them to her. I don't want to have to make that phone call every cycle. Is it too harsh of me to answer her "what's the next step" question with "I'm not sure yet but when I find out I'm keeping the info between H and I". I love my mom and I consider her one of my best friends but I don't want to have to make this call at the end of each cycle. Any advice is appreciated.
I would put in a funny GIF for your time but I'm not that savvy yet .
Update: So I spoke to my mom Monday night and told her I wasn't pregnant. I then had to explain how I knew, you know blood test, no margin of error. She asked about next steps and I gave her the info I had at the time which was an ultrasound before they would move forward. So I spoke to her again last night, Thursday. Explained I had an ultrasound scheduled for this morning and they would go over what I would do next. I also said if I shared every detail of the process with her it wouldn't be a surprise when I got pregnant. Here's where it gets good...She just called me, at work, to ask if I was pregnant! She took some of the things I was saying last night as me lying to her b/c I wanted to wait until I was further along. I then told her she was cut off from information in the future because not only did I not want to tell her every month that I wasn't pregnant, I didn't want to have to answer her question of if I really was. I did this all jokingly by telling her she was out of the "circle of trust" and saying she was lucky I haven't started clomid yet because they are doubling my dose lol. So all that to say I didn't follow everyone's advice with the polite things to say. We were both laughing and joking so she may not know I am being serious, in which case I will use one of the more appropriate to the point lines you ladies have already provided for me. Hopefully I provided a little laugh for a Friday, here's to a great weekend!
