Do ur family/friends know u are ttc?


Just wondering if you have told ur friends and family u are ttc? Me and hubby haven't told anybody as we're a bit concerned we mite have a few problems. Really wanting to talk to my mum about it and get some advice but I know she would only get all excited and I don't want to disappoint her.
As understanding as hubby tries to be, he doesn't really understand as he doesn't have any ovaries!!!

My mom figured it out all on her own, and I did tell one of my nieces just so I'd have someone to talk to

Haven't told anyone yet. I think it's best for us not to, I don't want people asking how it's going etc either especially if it takes ages.

Umm, a couple of close friends know and i think OH's mum kinda knows, but I doubt she'd every comment.
She's far to excited about the engagement for the moment!!!

We've mentioned it to My husbands family but aren't telling many on My side. I have found that when I bring it up to any of My family or friends, thy always have an opinion about why I should wait a few more years. I have a 9 yr old, own My own house and am married to My best friend. Nonetheless they still think I should hold off because children cost money. blah blah blah, so on and so forth. I think it's better to keep it on the DL and blab about it here to strangers who actually support My choice.

WAAAAAAAAAYYY too many people know for my liking. None of our family (ok, apart from my auntie who is sound and a fab leaning post!!!!) but alot of our friends do, it sort of just got mentioned when we first started TTC, i now wish to god it hadn't, because they ask......ALL the time, when its going to be our turn, my DH gets grief because of it all.....lads talk i guess.

It upsets me, because we don't need extra pressure!!!

My family and also the majority of our close friends know.

We just got sick of every one asking when we were going to start trying (when we had already been tryin for ages) so one day we just said, we are trying and please do not keep asking us if iu has happened, we will tell you in good time when it has.

As harsh as that prob sounds, no one asks unless I bring up the subject.

Its also nice as I can speak to my friends and family about it, and they mkick me into gear when I start feeling sorry for myself LOL xx
