Last time, lots of people knew we'd try after our wedding. This time only my doctor and dentist knows :) and a close friend and my mom know we're considering it, but no specifics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-1747507 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 10:54:51 +0000 MaryM 1747507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only a very few friends know. I don't like the pressure of people outside my "inner circle" knowing and expecting results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-1747502 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 10:50:28 +0000 LindsayInNY 1747502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 4 years marriage and 19 months TTC, the better question is who doesn't know?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-1747362 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 10:01:36 +0000 simply_london 1747362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My bestfriend, sister and cousin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-1746597 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 20:35:47 +0000 renee 1746597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH and I decided to keep it mostly a secret to eliminate the pressure. We agreed to tell 2 close friends, and we have told one so far. I wish I could tell more people! We were recently on a group trip to Hawaii and I was the only one not drinking… I don't' typically drink much, but I'm pretty sure they all figured it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-1746213 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 17:36:28 +0000 meredithNYC 1746213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't tell anyone when ttc #1, but my group of girlfriends know that we are currently trying for #2. I hope I don't end up regretting being so open about it, but for now it feels like the right choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-1746202 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 17:25:25 +0000 pachamama 1746202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is SO hard to keep it a secret. I've told everyone I know pretty much that we'd love to start a family. I'm 30, have been married a year and am a teacher; what would they expect?!<br /> My sister and 2 good friends know every month we try (and fail lol).<br /> I've probably dug myself a deep hole! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-142593 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:03:46 +0000 birdofafeather 142593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>most of my friends know/suspect we're TTC or will be soon. i haven't outright said it to anyone though, but my parents know that we're definitely thinking about it sooner than later. no one knows that i'm in my first TWW except DH!</p> <p>i think it will get harder to keep a secret the longer it takes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-142347 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:13:08 +0000 Smurfette 142347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only told a couple girlfriends. I am sure they told their hubby's but no one else. This is our first month but I think that it is hard to not talk about it. Esp. cause people have asked me when are we going to try. I hate lying. I know that it is going to be 100 times harder to keep it a secret when we are pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-142341 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:08:32 +0000 plaidpants 142341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my two best friends when we decided to TTC. I was planning to stop drinking completely and I knew I couldn't hide that, since we have dinner weekly and I almost always have a beer. I didn't want them to think it was because I was already pregnant! </p> <p>When I shared, I asked them to please not ask me about it again. I didn't want them asking me every month if I was pregnant yet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-142330 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:59:48 +0000 Modern Daisy 142330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only told my best friend who lives far away and isn't friends with any of my other friends or family. I can totally trust her not to tell. </p> <p>To everyone else who asks, we just say "Not now, but we know we'll have to start thinking about that soon". It's usually enough to satisfy curiosity and change the subject. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-142249 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 10:38:01 +0000 GrapeCrush 142249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't come out and tell anyone except for i told my sister that if it happened, it happened. but most people sort of figured we'd start trying to right after we got married, so when we told them 3 months after the wedding i was pregnant, it wasn't a shock to anyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-142188 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 10:07:31 +0000 Alivoo01 142188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't told anyone that we're TTC right now. Hubby has told one person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-142105 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 09:19:50 +0000 PBandBaseball 142105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my mom this weekend that I was having my HSG today but the cell reception on one of our phones cut out and she didn't hear what I said. I took it as a sign to just keep my mouth shut. The hubs and the ladies (and gent) of HB are the only people who know for right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-142100 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 09:14:44 +0000 MrsLilybugg 142100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first only my sisters and my three closest friends knew. We are on cycle 7 now and because it's almost always on my mind I don't even bother keeping it secret anymore. :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141839 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 20:21:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 141839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We told my sister, who was pregnant at the time. I also told two coworkers that I was close to at the time, and a couple close friends of mine. I was too excited not to tell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141801 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:23:17 +0000 Trailmix 141801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only two very close friends know that we are now actively trying but I've mentioned many times that we want kids to family friends so I'm sure everyone's sort of tuned in to it! I don't mind but I don't want to come out and tell everyone so that they're all looking for it and expecting it, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141226 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:42:16 +0000 Mrs. Blue 141226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only one friends knows our specific plan to start in June. A couple other friends and my mom know that we'll start "fairly soon" or "maybe after our anniversary." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141218 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:37:13 +0000 heffalump 141218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not TTC. But when I did and next time I do nobody gets to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141199 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:18:17 +0000 BSB 141199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister and brother. Actually a lot of people know we are trying. Oops. We really suck at it. DH's best friend knows and his mom knows that we are trying. A few friends and family know we want a family soon but I haven't gotten any more specific than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141093 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:21:35 +0000 yoursilverlining 141093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't tell anyone because we are very private people (I share much more here than in "real life"!). It helped that we never got any family pressure or questions on when we would have kids - so it was a conversation avoided entirely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141075 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:06:59 +0000 Adira 141075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two of my best friends know that we're trying, but that's it. I don't want family to know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141061 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 08:40:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 141061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prior to finding out about my husband's infertility only my BFF knew. I told her because she is also TTC. But once we found out about the infertility and that he would be having surgery we told our parents. Their support during the surgery and recovery has been great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141056 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 08:29:17 +0000 Grace 141056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a secret. Some people might suspect, but I don't want the pressure (even if it's all in my head) of people waiting for me to make an announcement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141053 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 08:24:28 +0000 PBandBaseball 141053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my sisters and a couple of friends last fall but only one friend knows that we are having fertility problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-141027 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 06:09:17 +0000 PastaAndPotato 141027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm in a wedding in october, so i gave the bride a heads up, and my other best friend who is in the wedding as well.</p> <p>i have told a few others that we're "thinking about TTC" (including my mom and sisters), but didn't want the added pressure that comes with more people knowing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-140957 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:55:46 +0000 sylvie_b 140957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My high school bestie and my parents (the hubs was too excited and told them!)...other than that, we're keeping quiet and if we're asked, we say: "we'll be ready for kids soon...." and then change the subject. less questions = less stress :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-knows-youre-ttc#post-140890 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 21:14:46 +0000 Mrs.Someone 140890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just my best friend who lives abroad.
