ttc?

We really haven't told anyone. Only my best friend and my sister know right now. Neither one has any real experience with ttc, my sister is not married and has no children and my bf "didn't have to try" (In her words) Chat Icon Aside from LIF do you ladies talk to anyone else about ttc?

Re: How many people know that you're...

This time around, more people know. My family and good friends know. I had a chemical pregnancy last month, and told people about it, so it seems like everyone knows now.

Just 2 of my good friends. I don't want to tell too many people just in case we have trouble, I don't want people asking me lots of questions.

Re: How many people know that you're...

When we were TTC DD, we told no one. That kind of back fired, and we got some weird reactions when we told a few close family members we were knocked up. This time around we told a few people-not many, but a few.

We only have a few people that know. We have not told our parents because they would put too much pressure on us.

In detail-My sister knows, my parents and MIL. Several other people know we have been TTC because it's been going on so long.

Re: How many people know that you're...

Seems like almost everyone. It's both good and bad.....it's great to have the support given all that we are going through, but I sometimes feel like everyone is feeling bad for us, and it makes me feel kinda pitiful.....

Re: How many people know that you're...

we haven't told anybody really. My BFF sort of knows that we are trying but I don't think she knows how long or how hard (ie OPKs etc..).

Re: How many people know that you're...

IRL my mother probably knows the most details, then my SIL and sister and then my cousin. I do not want to tell my inlaws any details so I think they assume we are trying but would never ask and we won't share.

Re: How many people know that you're...

after the last loss we decided not to include many people in on that we were trying again. So just my bff and 2 or 3 very close friends, no family at all.

Re: How many people know that you're...

Our parents and a few close friends. We're trying to keep it pretty low-key in case it takes us longer than we thought. As it is, I'm sure my mom and our friends will have a hard time keeping it to themselvesChat Icon

When we started TTC we didn't tell anyone. But when we got pregnant we told some family and friends. After the mc, I just assume everyone thinks we're still TTC, which of course we are.

Re: How many people know that you're...

People know that we're trying. We don't advertise it - but they know we want another DC soon.

I told people when I got my BFP last time too. My thought process behind it all is that if god forbid something were to happen - I would need my friends and family anyway!

Re: How many people know that you're...

Not too many. A couple people know we want a baby but not too many know that we are actively trying. Besides DH iI really only discuss it with my BFF and SIL.

Only my mom and a good friend of mine. She had a baby a year ago and I feel like I can go to her with any questions I may have and I told my mom well cause she's my mom and we are really close.

I had a m/c at 11 weeks in August, so everyone assumes I'm trying again.

I assume that both our families know now (I had a m/c back in June so they found out then). Other than that only 2 of my friends know...I don't want to add to the # of people that are already staring at my belly Chat Icon

Well... since we just lost the baby, everyone knows we want to try again soon -- it's no secret Chat Icon

I wanted to wait until after the holidays but now I just want to get "back on the horse" Chat Icon
