Do people know you are TTC?

WifeOfARedhead

Does your family/friends know you are TTC or are you keeping it a suprise from everyone?

Laura Anderson

Nobody knows we are TTC except for DH's best friend in Chicago!

high_hopes

Just my sister knows. We're keeping it a secret from everyone else!

r_dillard

Only our close friends and siblings.  I couldn't deal with the parents knowing.  Too much pressure.  In fact, we are not planning on telling the parents until 12 weeks and DH wants them to be the first to know.

gina325

Our family and closest friends know that we are TTC

Joeypnut

We're keeping it a secret.  My mom has said a couple of times that I need to give her a baby to squeeze because she thinks she's ready...

I think it's more fun to keep it a secret, plus with my family they would ask me every week if I was pregnant yet, so I don't want to open those doors if I don't have to.

craftlady07

quite a few people do. I've found that I get less questions about having kids since people know we're trying and not annoucing anything they know we're not pg yet.

nj_nester

Everyone knows, and I kindof wish they didn't.  When we were engaged everyone asked if we were trying for kids right away...and I just didn't know how to lie to them.  Now my every move is criticized..."why ARE you drinking?"  "why AREN'T you drinking?"  "are you pregnant?"  "how is everything...wink, wink".  it's very annoying, and getting more and more awkward as the months go by.

I told only one of my girlfriends....thats it.  My sisters know I am charting and off BC, they asked if we were trying and I said no...I wonder if they think I'm lying

Anasara

Our parents know & a few very close friends who have recently had babies or are also TTC.  No extended relatives know; I got asked a million times around Christmas when we were having kids since I have 2 cousins who are pregnant & didn't even try (both "oops" babies).  I told 1 great aunt who I can't stand "when I figure out which hole it goes in"; my mom nearly spit out her diet Coke!

MSC03

My BFF knows, but other than that, it's just my crazy internet friends! LOL

bride2be.austin

nope..nobody knows!!!  we don't want any "pressure" or the constant "are you pregnant yet questions" ;-)

mandy4678

I think my parents have an idea and 2 close friends. that's it.

imavera

We're keeping it a surprise. My family and a few close friends do know that I'm charting, but they think I'm TTA (all came to that conclusion on their own)

jshay778

Nobody knows but us.

$Shoegirl$

No one did when we were, they knew we would start trying soon but we always remained vague about the exact time

AMYfromKY

My dad knows we aren't trying to prevent it and my mom knows about me charting.  A few of our friends know as well.

blondie315

My sister and my best friend know.  I am not telling our parents because I know my mother will drive me crazy with questions!

TarheelsInNJ

Nope! Our friends know we're thinking about it, but not that we've started trying. Families know nothing   (Don't want to get them too excited yet...)

Sarahp63

My mom knows and some of my friends that are scattered throughout the US.. everyone knows sensitive to me though, so I don't get questioned-ever.

nova & paul

Everyone knows....D/h told ALL his family and I told my family. Nobody asks us annoying questions so where lucky so far. My nana asks me something baby related everytime I talk to her but its very sopportive. When I had my m/c I told my mom and she didn't care...(long story)but my grandma did. Probably because she had had 1 when she was k/u w/ twins.

Kevin Mathewson

I told my 2 best friends.  That's it.  We don't want any pressure!

Finn829

unfortunately, my big mouth took over and told a few people at work which i'm sure has spread around. atleast no one has asked me if there is any news. Our parents know we want kids, but I don't think they know we are actively trying.

JA062406

My BFF from college knows, but she lives 2 hours away.  DH's BFF from college knows but he is in Chicago, and DH told his brother & SIL (I don't know why, I was not happy with him).  But I like it this way I only have to dodge questions about once a month it works for us.

bannedmonkey

Noone knew until I M/Cd. Then we told my close friends and family. DH's family still doesn't know because he wants it to be a suprise.

Mrs_Carroll

Ive told a few friends that we will TTC this summer, but keeping it a secret from everyone else.

Stephanie2167

My sister and my best friend know we are starting in March.

That is all.

IloveJAV

We kept it a secret almost the whole year we were trying. Now that we have run into a few problems here and there..I finally broke down and told my Mom and sis. My best friend that is PG also knows..but thats it. I find that keeping it a secret is best, so you dont get asked 20 questions about it.

berryblndgirl

We've told our family and some of our closest friends.

lynsef

Most of them know and its ok because they don't hound us about it.  I've always loved kids and so naturally everyone has always assumed/known that I want to be a mother and DH & I have been together for 8 yrs now so we're ready.  Now if my body would just cooperate...

Monsieur_et_Madame_Ha

The only people who don't know are our parents and my colleagues. Parents we're not telling because theyre already putting quite a bit of pressure on us and I fear its only gonna get worse if we tell them. As for my colleagues, well, TTC is not the kind of thing I want to talk about in my workplace.

ZacksBride

I told my mom and a few of my best friends that we were TTC...

RockABye

No. I imagine I will let it slip to my best friend, but that's no biggie. She won't pester us about it and it'll be fun to have someone other than DH to talk to about it. We're not telling anyone else, even our families. They pressure us enough! As far as they're concerned, we're still not ready for kids.

pm88

That's hilarious. How did your great aunt react??

No one knows that we're trying. I gained some weight and everyone assumed I was pregnant. My mom and older sister want me to get pregnant and my best friend who has a 16 month baby girl and pregnant with her second thinks I'm pregnant. I guess I will know in a couple of days. 

jenny1980

We're both really private people. We won't tell anyone until pregnant.

mrskimm09

No one knows. Its between DH and I.

Mrs.KaityJane

No on knows.  My MIL keeps telling me I not to TTC yet becuase she is not ready to be a grandparent.  Sorry not your choice.  So we decided not to tell anyone until I am at least 12 weeks pregnant.

engrider18

We have decided to keep it a secret, minus my best friend and a really close friend of DH. Everyone thinks we are waiting a year or more so I want it to be a huge suprise if we conceive before that I only told two friends b/c I needed a sounding board to discuss everything with (both are 2x moms), otherwise I wouldn't have told anyone.

jenny1980

No way.

I got pregnant the first time (hopefully it decides to hang around--I'm still really early) but I'm still glad we didn't say anything. I would hate needing to "update" people all the time and don't want to blow the suprise announcement.

Plus, I just think it's ick to report on your sex life.

 

crystalmarcellin

We told everyone! I pretty much couldn't keep it to myself!

kellic124

A few people know.  I'm sure my family has an idea, but no one has said anything yet.  I'm sure they will start asking soon!!
