Have I jinxed

I know this sounds so ridiculous (please don’t laugh 😔), my thoughts are all out of control with the progesterone.

I’ve told a couple of friends and a lot of my family regarding our ivf and that we’re waiting on results soon, now I think I’ve completely jinxed it.

Did any of you tell family & friends? ❤️

Can relate we used to share but some friends were too caring asking how I felt. I know that meant well but it was too much pressure so we’re keeping stum now

Yes I shared my situation with family & close friends, we had to because of isolating during treatment , it feels like a lot of pressure when everyone is waiting on the news , but regardless off who we tell it won’t affect the outcome , I felt the same thinking I jinxed it.

to me it was good to share all the ups & downs , as my first cycle we kept completely private. Best of luck x

First round we told people. It ended in miscarrage. I found it added to the stress as had to keep repeating the story. People naturally care and were asking for updates/how we got on/next app/what next etc. On the day of E/T my mobile didn't stop. I know everyone meant well and absolutley wanted it to work for us but for me it wasn't helpful, particularly when it ended in miscarrage and had to tell people. 2nd round we told nobody except our work as needed time off. I was much more relaxed, and seeing everyones face when we arrived at their house with a scan picture was just lovely.

I don't think for one minute you telling your family and friends will have jinxed it. It really is just a game of luck. Everyone is different and some people feel that family etc knowing is supportive, think it is a personal choice.

All the best of luck ♡ x

Don’t worry. By telling people, you don’t jinx it. Imagine the amazing positive prayers and energy that is flying around you from everyone 🙂 It’s nicer to have the support network than feel alone 🌼
