Sister in law's embryo transfer

My SIL had her embryo transfer yesterday; its her second attempt. I so hope that it works for both of us as that would be lovely for christmas. She hasnt told the rest of her family as I guess, understandably, she found it hard when it failed first time and everyone was waiting on the result.

She is the only family that know we are having treatment as I had asked her a few months ago about her experience of accupuncture to help with fertility. However, I havent told her that the plan changed from IUI to IVF or when we are starting. We arent telling anyone in our family at all as I could do without the pressure of their anticipation and expectations. However, I do feel some kind of obligation to tell my SIL seeing as she has told me about their current treatment. I know I worry too much, but think it might make it difficult if it doesnt work for one or both of us. But then, who else would understand the situation better?

Awww... I think you should tell her. She's been through it, she can help. And she will be super sensitive to your journey.
We need all the buddies we can get in this process :)
