Are you telling people...what do you think?

[ttcfurrever]

My mom knows, my sister, and two of my closest friends. I don't plan on telling them right away if we get a bfp though. I'll probably wait till 2nd tri.

(those people all know of my fertility issues, so they know not to keep asking about it)

We didn't tell anyone incase it took a long time and we didn't want all the "are you pregnant yet?" questions.

I'm lucky really the people who know dont ask, they are either not interested or figure when i am i will tell them

My mum and my sister have been a good soundingboard for me allthough they dont really understand where i am at the moment as both got caught very quickly, glad i have all you ladies to talk too, you all keep me sane

I dont plan on telling anyone other than my sister when i get my until i have had my first scan and i know everything is ok, but i can not wait for that day, i dream about it xxx

We have told my family, his family, and close friends. The only thing we told them was we stopped birth control and are letting nature take its course, so NTNP. What they dont know is that we are doing everything we can to get preggo! Whenever we get our BFP, i think we will keep it a secret until after the first appt

i have told a few close friends other than that no 1 really knows. only 1 of them asks how things r but others realise when i get preg i will tell them. i dont think i can hold it in if i do get preg im gonna wanna tell every1 and even more im kinda going to have to so when we go out they dont want me to drink or anything with them that i wont be able to do

We haven't told anyone. Sometimes I'm glad because I couldn't bear people (mainly my mum) asking me every day how it is going...and she would. Sometimes however I find myself going slightly mad and feel very alone. My OH is great, but doesn't like to talk about TTC too much. I'm not sure if its because he doesn't want me to get upset about it or because he thinks he might. So glad I can vent on here!

 

[strawberry19]

we wernt telling anyone then we had our mc which devestated us and our families so know they kind know we are trying again

 

[Jaime313]

I have only told three very close ONLINE friends. In real life, I've told a couple of friends in very strict confidence that we *might* start TTC (even though we already have started.) I don't want anyone IRL to know when we are actively TTC, because I do not want the questions. Too many people all too willing to give unsolicited opinions and advice! LOL

My family and his family know we are TTC....and some close friends...but colleagues and the majority of the world have no clue

Hey girl! I just wanted to know if your doc told you that you needed to lose 30lbs or if that was your choice (Noticed in your signature it says this). I have PCOS...doc said It'd be 'good to lose some weight"....my female general practioner, however, said it wouldn't help at all and that it doesn't matter what size you are, anyone can get pregnant..even if they have PCOS....You do not look overweight even a little bit, and if you are underweight you could put yourself at risk of not being able to get pregnant. Just wanted to make sure you're not doing anything you'll end up regretting!! Best wishes!! Always here to talk if you need someone

I casually mentioned it to a couple people and I regret it because even though it's only been 2 months we constantly get asked if we're pregnant yet. I'm horrible with keeping exciting secrets (sigh).

Because I've waited so long, quite a few of my friends know we're starting to try. A friend and a cousin who both recently had babies have been good sounding boards and one of my BMs is starting in the New Year. She's a bit younger than me so I kind of expect we'll end up yes close. I hope I don't have to wait that long!

My H has told his 2 bosses at work that it's on the cards when working on his pay rise! It worked too!

We're strictly not telling family but I suspect they have an idea as we've about run out of excuses now and they know we do want kids eventually. They won't ask though and that suits!

As for when we get a BFP, I think we'll tell parents, siblings and grandparents quickly but make them promise to be quiet about it until 12 weeks. Hoping I don't get too sick and don't have to tell work too soon.
