Just didn't want any opinions, or even harassment if things took a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2353295 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 22:42:23 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2353295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and my best friend knew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2353243 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 21:51:31 +0000 Purpledaisy 2353243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #1 no. We were more just NTNP and ended up getting pregnant right away.</p> <p>With #2 I told one friend. I'm 9 weeks and still only 4 people know. I don't like people up in my business :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2353236 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 21:43:26 +0000 stiletto_mom 2353236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Immediate family and closest friends know...</p> <p>But no one except online know the extent to which we are trying. =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2353184 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 21:00:45 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2353184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two best friends knew we were trying after my miscarriage. They don't know we were successful yet :). Also two other friends. One who I am super close with and told her already I'm pregnant. The other also had a miscarriage so we were just talking about trying and such. She doesn't know I'm pregnant. I hope she is soon so we can be together. </p> <p>No one else knows. Although I'm sure a few ther people who know about the miscarriage assume we were trying again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2353160 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 20:37:32 +0000 lady baltimore 2353160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was very important to me that no one knew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2353127 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 20:20:19 +0000 yellowbird 2353127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one knew at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2353123 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 20:18:23 +0000 MrsStar 2353123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1 was a surprise so nope.</p> <p>For lo2 my mum and bff knew - as well as online groups like the bee. Took us 15 months to get lo2 so I was glad to have the support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2352741 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:24:16 +0000 HellOnHeels 2352741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first only each of our closest friends, but now that we've been dealing with IF for close to 2 years and am taking time off work for appt and tests, a lot more people know. The only people who make the pregnancy comments are from the ones that don't know... funny how that happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2352467 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:25:47 +0000 Torchwood 2352467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My two best friends did initially. After I miscarried (after announcing) clearly everyone else did too. I was very open about it after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2352457 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 13:21:37 +0000 avivoca 2352457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Online friends only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2352408 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 12:59:59 +0000 buttermilk 2352408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes my close friends and I regretted bc it took us over a year and I got tired of them asking me about it all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2352403 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 12:56:08 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2352403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes pretty much everyone knew we were trying. And I got asked like every week if I were knocked up yet. Ummm these things take time! There is a process to it. And it only took us 3 cycles so not long at all but everyone was ready for us to try I guess lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2352393 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 12:48:14 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2352393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our immediate family and a few close friends knew we were trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2352177 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 10:54:31 +0000 mfa_lady 2352177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our close friends and family knew, but only because we had a MC before E was born. So, even though we didn't necessarily talk TTC after that, people assumed. Everyone was excited but not surprised when we announced I was pregnant again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2352161 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 10:43:33 +0000 mrsrain 2352161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told a handful of good friends this time. I didn't tell anyone the first time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2352106 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 10:21:19 +0000 autumnlove 2352106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Online only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351971 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 09:29:27 +0000 Alivoo01 2351971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few of our friends did with DS since they kept asking when we were having kids. We ARE trying, just haven't been successful. Plus we had a loss.</p> <p>With DD, only my BFF knew we were, but when that ended in a loss, more people starting asking when we were going to try for #2. So we told them what happened and they kind of knew/understood we'd try to get pregnant ASAP once we got clearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351837 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:24:47 +0000 csross217 2351837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only my closest friend, because she and her husband were TTC too. </p> <p>@rachiecakes: Same here! I actually found I had to play this up more when I was TTC just so many family wouldn't suspect anything and since I wanted to surprise them when it happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351833 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 08:19:07 +0000 travelgirl1 2351833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not with my first. With my next two pregnancies, HB friends knew. With my third pregnancy I think everyone guessed we were trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351811 Wed, 11 Nov 2015 07:49:49 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2351811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't tell anyone we were TTC. @rachiecakes: DH is like that. I'm 7 weeks now and we still haven't told anyone but my best friend. He WILL get made fun of and I am not looking forward to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351147 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:40:18 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2351147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some people knew. I sometimes answered the nosey questions honestly. No one judged us on our decision and pretty much everyone kind of felt it was time already to have babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351142 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:36:21 +0000 catomd00 2351142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351138 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:35:35 +0000 Umbreon 2351138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't told anyone. I would have told my mom, but I wouldn't want to tell anyone else - and I'd feel bad telling DH I didn't want his mom to know if I told my mom. </p> <p>I basically just don't want everyone asking if I'm pregnant every time I see them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351115 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:27:19 +0000 ms.line 2351115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I told my dad and and many of my friends that we planned to start trying after our first wedding anniversary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351053 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 15:04:04 +0000 erinbaderin 2351053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few friends knew with my first, but that's because we spent 5 years doing fertility treatments. I don't think I'd ever tell anybody if we were TTC the regular way because to me it's basically saying "We're having sex a lot! On a schedule!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2351035 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:58:36 +0000 snowjewelz 2351035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of, but I don't think anyone knows how much I was into it haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2350983 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:40:28 +0000 sapphire 2350983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of my close girlfriends knew, so about half a dozen people. Some of them were trying too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2350972 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:35:13 +0000 rachiecakes 2350972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Online only. I didn't tell anyone. </p> <p>I never changed a diaper before LO, and wasn't really a 'kid person'. I was the butt of all the jokes from my friends with kids. Even at my baby shower someone put a baby in my arms and made fun of me "not knowing what to do with the baby".<br /> I didn't want to tell anyone when I found out I was pregnant and didn't announce until 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-know-you-were-ttc#post-2350907 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 14:02:24 +0000 Mamasig 2350907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think all of our family and close friend knew general timelines. When asked I answered how far apart in age I wanted my kids, so it's not hard to know when we'd have another. We've been very fortunate to get pregnant right away so everyone knew we'd probably announce soon. And everyone is excited for every baby! </p>
