Egg collection likely the week before Christmas - how did you handle the timing?

We start our first IVF cycle next week. If everything goes to schedule, egg collection will be around 18 December and transfer just before Christmas.

On one hand, I'm glad to finally start. On the other hand - Christmas with my husband's big family, lots of questions, lots of wine I can't drink, and maybe a two week wait over New Year.

Who has done a cycle over Christmas? Should we tell family? Or make an excuse? I am not good at lying, my face shows everything.

Did a cycle over Christmas two years ago. We told one person in each family - my sister and his brother - who quietly ran interference. Saying 'I'm on antibiotics' covered the no-wine thing for everyone else.

Not IVF yet but going through the early stages of tests. Just wanted to say good luck and I'll be reading this thread with interest.
