I told my mom, but only after she practically berated me into it. I'm a really private person, and feel like it's too much pressure to talk about or tell people about. Who know that you are TTC?
-
no one! didn't need the pressure when i already put enough on myself.
-
We didn’t tell anyone we were TTC. We’re private people and didn’t really think that was anyone else’s business. (Also didn't want any family pressure).
-
BFF who was also trying at the same time, and my mom after I had a melt down in front of her.
-
We are going to start trying in 2 weeks and I do not plan on telling a soul. I am really hoping my husband can keep it a secret because he has a tendency to get excited and blab about stuff.
If people ask, I am going to say non committal statements like "Oh we aren't quite there yet" or "Yeah we'll have to start thinking about that soon"
-
No one, that's not a pressure we ever want to put on ourselves.
-
We didn't tell anyone. It wasn't anyone's business and I didn't want to feel pressured to keep people updated or to discuss how things were going.
-
I'm a blabber so my mom and sisters knew. And my best friend that went on our trip with us (when we were first starting to try.)
-
We didn't tell anybody. Too much pressure! Whenever anybody asked I'd always say, "we're enjoying being married- go bug my older brother who's been married for 6 years."
-
My sister and I talk about this stuff constantly, so she stays in the loop about our plans. Other than her, I don't really plan to tell anyone else, although we might let a few close friends know when we get a BFP -- I am sure they'll assume once I stop drinking anyway
-
My sister knows, and so does one of my closest girlfriends. She and her husband ttc'd for over a year, so I know she would be able to relate and sympathize. Otherwise, nobody else knows.
-
No one. We didn't want to deal with questions about when it was going to happen, just in case we had trouble.
-
We didn't tell anyone and we're glad we didn't
-
I only told my best friend.
-
Just my SIL, she was very supportive- and a good thing too, it took us 10 months of TTC. I could not have handled everyone asking about it constantly.
-
When DH are ready to start trying, we plan on not telling a soul!
-
I only told one of my best friends because we were TTC at the same time and we both needed each other's insight and support.
-
No one. Actually, we had a few people fooled into thinking we were never having kids. It worked well for us because the surprise, when we told them at 12 weeks, was so, so worth it!
-
our parents... but they only found out when we told them about the miscarriage.
-
We didn't tell anyone that we were TTC. We assumed that most people knew because we are both older and wanted kids. After a miscarriage, we told a few (parents, siblings, our very closest friends).
Good luck to you
-
I haven't outright told people we're TTC. I talk to my mom and sister a little about my charting and whatnot, but mostly in the context of hormonal issues I have, which I've been talking to them about since before TTC, so its pretty normal,
-
Our parents, my brother, extended family, and friends all have a vague idea that we are in the TTC phase of our relationship. No one hounds us though and we appreciate the silent support/prayers.
-
At first, we didn't tell anyone, because I didn't think it was other people's business, and I didn't want the added stress of having people constantly ask how it was going. Now that its been over a year of TTC, I'm sharing with a few people, because I need someone to talk to about this whole thing.
-
My mom, my sister and my Aunt. I think hubs told his mom or she guessed.
-
People are so freaking nosy, especially after miscarriage. It's really hard. So I guess right now nobody knows.
-
All of my girlfriends...we have a yearly girl's weekend which happened to be right before we started trying, so after a few glasses of wine I totally told them all.
-
I didnt tell anyone besides on here. Now that we are not TTC anymore, I have told some people that we had planned on this year but are no longer trying due to DH's upcoming loooooong deployment if 16mos.
