Who knows you're ttc?

We haven't told anyone, we just don't want to deal with the questions every month. And it's disappointing enough for just the two of us when we get a bfn, I couldn't imagine having to tell other people too.

I was curious how many others are ttc incognito!Chat Icon

We also didn't tell anyone when we started TTC--i thought that was difficult. But now that we just recently got our BFP and are waiting until at least 8 weeks and to see a heart beat to tell immediate family and atleast 12 weeks to tell friends---it is even more difficult. We actually have had to turn down plans because as soon as someone sees that I am not drinking or eating certain foods they are going to figure it out right awayChat Icon Chat Icon

Well, it feels like everyone at work stares at my stomach or makes comments weekly that make me VERY uncomfortable. They all seem to assume that it's coming anytime now since we've been married for 2 years. I even get comments from parents! (I'm a teacher). I wanna yell at them "we're having some trouble, happy now?!?"
Because I get so many looks and it gets me upset, I've talked to a few close coworkers because they are in similar situations.

I couldn't believe this either last year when I had parents (I'm also a teacher) ask if I was pregnant! Chat Icon I was out a lot last year because it was my first year teaching and I was getting sick CONSTANTLY! ... When we had parent conferences in the spring, one set of parents asked if I was out so much from morning sickness Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Who knows you're ttc?

Only hubby and I for now. We also want to avoid all the questions and disappointment from other people.

My mom wants a grandchild so badly, that I don't think she'd be able to handle the wait every month lolz..and I can't wait to surprise her when I finally do get a BFP. I already thought of a few different ways.

Re: Who knows you're ttc?

well, I don't tell people about it, but there ARE a few who figured it out. Mostly the ones who know that I MC'd probably assume that we'll be trying again soon. Chat Icon

And I do have one friend who said that she'll be starting to try for her second child soon - she knows that I want a baby soon as well.

Re: Who knows you're ttc?

a few people at work, our immediate families and a few of our friends know we're just letting things happen. we haven't really told anyone we're trying per se. so far everyone has been really great about it and is not asking questions, but more than happy to listen when i want to share. Chat Icon

Re: Who knows you're ttc?

My Dad, sister, 2 people at work who I had to tell because I had to go over insurance stuff with them, and DHs best friend because DH has a big mouth. Other people assume we are TTC, but we never confirm or deny it to them.

Re: Who knows you're ttc?

Only one friend, who recently had a baby, knows. I've had lots of questions for her.
My mom knows I'm off BCP, but doesn't know we're actively trying.
I'm going to have to tell my FSIL soon though b/c I'm in her wedding this summer and I'm hoping I'll be pregnant by then.

No one knew, we had only decided that we would start in about 5 months..

We are afraid once the family finds out we're in big trouble lol
