we told our families/friends when we started TTC and while we thankfully only had a few months of trying; we also were NOT bombarded with questions about it every month!
i'm glad they weren't on our backs every month...
-
I only told my bff we were ttc. People have asked us a lot since we got married (less than 2 months ago) but we just tell them we're not trying yet. We didn't want to be bombarded with questions, trying to figure out if I was pregnant etc. and we didn't know how long it would take us.
-
We haven't told anyone. Much like QBBride, when someone asks us when we're going to start trying, we just give vague "not yet" replies. I'm not sure how long it's going to take, so we don't want people bugging/wondering.
-
We didn't tell anyone either time so no one bugged us. Yay!
-
I didn't tell anybody and when people did ask I'd just say that I wanted to enjoy my marriage for awhile first. I was a newly wed when we started ttc.
My family did know that I was ttc after I miscarried I'm sure, but they never asked or talked to me about it. They knew not to pressure me.
-
We've been asked a few times during this tww because our parents and siblings know about the IUI.
-
We are asked all the time by friends AND family. Most recently on Sunday when we went to dinner with about 15 friends. And then one of our friends asked me when we're gonna have babies right in front of everyone. I hate being put on the spot in front of lots of people like that!
-
We didn't tell anyone because I thought it would stress me out if people asked. On the flip side, everyone's first question when we told them was then "was it planned!!" LOL. Can't win.
-
Only my best friend and two coworkers that are actively TTC right now know about my TTC status. Other than that, when people ask when we're going to have babies, I just respond that we already have two (my two Chihuahuas).
-
I told my family were finally ttc because weve waited a long time and its exciting for us to share with family the new news of ttc. Also, all my siblings have children already. Im the last one....Weve been asked since we got married 2 yrs ago and it just wasnt time. So now that it is, i was happy to tell and will be more happy to tell when were pregnant!!!
-
I knew that Hubs family would bug me every chance they could get, so we didn't tell family that we were trying. I only told my two best girlfriends and they were really respectful about not asking me too much about it and letting me take the lead with those types of discussions.
-
People made fun little comments here and there previously, but have really started to inquire recently. Normally, I screen the questions pretty well, but since we m/c in July, I'm starting to tell people that we have been TTC, but m/c in July. It usually shuts them up pretty quickly, and hopefully deter them from inquiring again until we can announce that we have sticky baby in the (near) future!
-
People always ask if we're trying and I say no, but it's actually technically true so it's not like I'm lying. But recently it's moved from asking to accusing - I even had to drink a beer in front of my coworker the other day because she wouldn't believe me that I wasn't pregnant.
I am going to tell my best friend when we start TTC, but I will continue to deny it to everyone else.
-
@Modern Daisy: Ugh, so annoying! I sometimes have to point to my glass of wine to convince people I'm not lying and that I'm not pregnant!
-
I know I even went to a bachelorette party this weekend and when I ordered a glass of water since I was thirsty and didn't know what I wanted to drink I immediately got a bunch of accusatory looks.
-
I rarely post on here, but I just had to comment on this. My husband and I are going through infertility treatments and our families know. I finally told him I want to tell our families we are taking a break (we aren't) after his mother told me that hopefully I would be ovulating when DH came home from,out of town, work the next week!
-
Very few people know that we are TTC ( larger handful know that we planned to around this time frame, but no specifics). The people that do know also know well enough not to ask. My sister knows (well, OK, she sometimes asks where in my cycle I am, but we are BFFs so it's ok and I like to have someone to talk about it to) but the rest of our families don't. I would love if we could tell our immediate families all at Thanksgiving, which, if this TWW ends in a BFP, would be just about 2 months in.
-
Only my BFF knows we just officially started TTC, because I would tell her anything anyway, plus she has one LO already and is soon going to be trying for #2, so it's nice to have someone to talk to/ask questions of. A few other close friends knew our general timeframe so I am sure they are expecting it, but it's again mainly friends who were thinking about trying around the same time so I don't think they will bug us about it much. I am NOT telling my mother or any of our families until we are actually preggo, because my mom and grandmother already ask at least once every few weeks about when we are going to try/be pregnant and I know if I told them we are TTC it would be the only topic of conversation they could have with me!
-
We told immediate family on both sides prior to ttc and at this point I feel like it may have been a mistake. Its been almost 6 months and I'm still not pregnant and both of our moms got pregnant easy so we keep getting reminded that we're next, its our turn, you can't adopt a new dog you need to get pregnant first. I do not know if that would be different though it they did not know we were ttc, both sides are super-duper excited to be grandparents.
-
We haven't really told anyone we are ttc. 2 good friends of mine know, and that is pretty much it. They do ask occasionally, but they both had a hard time getting pregnant too, so it doesn't bother me when they ask. In fact it is nice to know they are wondering and rooting for us.
