My wife has 6 years of schooling, 1 year of internship and 2 years of postdoc in Psychology. She's as smart as they come.
She basically told me to tell my IC the same thing as you.
The only wallowing part that isn't quite right is that my W and I have made a deal not to tell our family/friends anything until we know more. No one in our family knows nor do our friends know.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. --Jean Jacques Rousseau.
