Does your family know you are trying? [clicky poll]

I said No.  None of their damn business.

We planned never to tell anyone...even when my surgery and everything was happening.  We just told people they found the tumor during my yearly check up.

We'll never tell anyone [except BFF knows].  I don't want snide comments or questions every month on if I am KU.

We didn't tell them, but they all just assumed it.  And now they know for sure, LOL.

We did not tell family we were trying.  Then again, we were lucky and did not have any trouble.  If things got bad, then I think I would confide in my mom, but no one else.

We didn't tell anyone for over a year, but once we started seeing the RE, we told our parents.

We didn't really tell them.  My family assumed and the in-laws found out inadvertently (and of course MIL then blabbed it to the entire town at a bank function- biitch).

They probably don't know that we are no longer ttc though.

We didn't tell them we were trying necessarily, but now they know we aren't avoiding, because we told them we were pregnant the day after we got the BFP, which was also the day before I started CD1. 

Do they know we're trying?  I don't know.  Do they know we were excited when we thought there was a baby in our future?  Yes.

I told my mom not to ask me about any of it from here on out, and that the next time they hear anything about a pregnancy from us will be after we hear a heartbeat.

I clicked no none of their damn business....but I think they think we're trying (we are).  We're about to embark on our 5th month of ttc and while I know this isn't a long time, it feels like forever.  I wish I could talk to someone about it...I go back and forth every day.  It sucks.

My family just assumes even though we never told them. I wish I could have checked no, none of their business. I'm completely sick of their stupid comments and them feeling free to share their opinions. We just don't say anything when they make their off hand remarks, but it gets old.

I told my mom, so that she would not smoke around me when we went to Florida for a visit.  It was a good thing because I got my bfp two days into the trip.

They know, but it would be hard not to know since I got pg right away and then delivered a stillborn at 27 weeks.  They know what caused that and they know that I had corrective surgery and got the greenlight.  But, they don't ask any questions and know we'll announce again when the time is right, whatever that may be.

My sister knows because she asked and I am a terrible terrible liar so I don't even try.  She is being blackmailed into not telling though, which shouldn't be hard because other than her, the rest of my family and DH's family stays out of our buisness.

I didn't vote, none of those apply to me...Both of my sisters know but that is it. No parents and not DH's sister either. I only told the people who I know would not ask me about it every chance they got. Everyone else is too nosy.

i said no we are having TTTC.

when they ask me if we are trying i just say that we arent trying or avoiding...what ever happens happens and we will let nature run its course.

if they only knew....

Anna&Matt

we didn't tell anyone and no one had any idea until our first m/c. After that everyone knew.

My mom knew, but I tell her pretty much everything. But we didn't tell anyone else at the time. Although we had told peolpe in the past that we were going to start trying after we had been married for 2 years.

When we are actively TTC, my mom will know. Which means the rest of my family will know, unless I can get a gag order out on her.

Other: They didn't know for our first, which we lost in March... but they knew we wanted to try again after that, so for this one yes.

Ditto. I voted the same thing.  It's none of their damn business!
