My friend told me when she was going to ttc. She didn't have any problems getting pregnant the first time so I guess she felt ok doing it. Sure enough she did get pregnant right away... but before she told us I was constantly watching for different eating habits, a growing belly, etc. I don't want people constantly wondering about me like that. Plus I'm extra paranoid because ive miscarried.
Fyi, no I'm not ttc yet. I wish

We're not TTC for #2 yet but when we do, I won't be telling anyone about it. I wouldn't want friends staring at my belly and wondering like that.

@Rubies: You're going to tell us though right? I promise not to stare at your belly. 
@artbee: By the title, I totally assumed this was your sneaky way of announcing!

nope because we got pregnant the first month we tried with olive. if it had taken longer, i might have told esp if i couldn't drink during the 2ww. they'd be suspicious!

we're jsut pregnant with our first so this is a long times away, but dh and i decided that we'd take a ntnt journey with our 2nd and (maybe) 3rd, so we wont tell ppl that we're "trying"

@Mrs. Bee: I'm not a drinker so I never had an issue with that. Plus, people know alcohol is a big migraine trigger for me so I only take a sip maybe once every 6 months.

@mrsjyw: I thought we would do the NTNT thing for our first.... but I'm too much of a planner for that!

We were not trying but not preventing but we didn't tell anyone! I told HB & one close friend but no family or anyone else.

I hinted at it with a few close girlfriends. I just said that I thought we were ready again for another and we wanted to have a baby in the next year coming up, which was true since at that point it was the start of fall. I didn't tell them I was using OPKs and temping or anything. That would've made myself feel a lot more pressure to conceive than there was already!

I told one friend when we decided to TTC #2; I'll probably tell her again when we start on #3. I can trust her, and I need someone to outlet to!

Haha. We weren't trying or preventing and got pregnant with #2. We've already told everyone.

yes we did and it caused sooo much stress! i would recommend not telling...it took us 6 months and everything month was more and more pressure

Nope. We didn't tell anyone we were trying for this baby, so we won't do it for the next (if there is one), either.

@Honeybee: #3!!
We didn't say anything to anyone the first time and we for sure wouldn't in the future either.

I can't get over the feeling that it's basically announcing a detail of your sex life, and that just seems weird to me. So no, no "pulling the goalie tonight, baby!" announcements.
