Hiding about IVF treatment

Not sure if this is the right forum. Admins, Plz move as appropriate.

After trying various medicines for low sperm count and motility for 3 years, I conceived through IVF.

We wanted to keep the information about treatment private. So we didn't tell our parents/friends about this.

It is majorly my decision to keep it to ourself as my MIL and SILs are very creepy and gossiping in nature. Though the problem is with their son, it wont matter to them. They just want some news to gossip about. I remember last time when we visited India, my MIL was telling us about their relative's daughter that "they stayed in the city for 6 months and soon after they announced that she is pregnant. It surely must be a test tube baby."

Those comments really hurt me as I didn't want to tag my baby like that. That is the main reason, I chose to take the treatment in US rather in India and also wanted to keep it to our self.

Now, as we announced to my in-laws that I conceived, the first question my MIL asked is, is it normal or due to some treatment? My husband is furious over them and asked her to shut the curious mind. But still whenever we talk to her, she somehow wants to know about it and is framing the questions in all possible ways.

My husband can't tell lies and is just shouting at them whenever they bring this up. I am so disturbed to hear all the shoutings. Not sure how to handle this. I dont understand why this lady is so curious knowing that it is hurting her own son.
