oscar - i'm another like Sushee that will give people details if they ask. i tend to find it takes the stigma of infertility away if i'm open about it... it does't seem so scary (for me or for them) if i talk in facts about what happens. i did this with the BIG boss at work when i was negotiating changing hours to fit treatment and things - he asked, i said "how much detail do you want?" and then gave it to him as it was.

some people find talking about the process hard - for some, it's based on it being their earlier cycles and they themselves are still learning - for others, it's something they choose not to discuss as it makes it more public - and then there are those of us that just figure that educating people will help them to understand when we're having a bad day and hopefully mean that those bad days aren't made worse by ignorance... it just means they get it a little more and don't hold it against me if i'm in a different headspace...
