came out to the family over the holidays

No, not pregnant, but officially trying. Just wanted to share my story and officially introduce myself to the board.

DH and I have been married for a little over a year and its been a really hectic one -- moving to a new state, starting new jobs, and buying our first home. We said we wouldn't start TTC until the spring (and even that is sort of contingent on career stuff). I went of BCP at the end of the summer and we hadn't been "careful" for a few months. Secretly, both of us were hoping to have an accident, but I insisted to my family that we weren't trying (Mom would have told the world).

Anyway, both of my last 2 cycles I was sure I was pregnant (1st time had all the symptoms, but it turned out that I had the flu; 2nd time I was 5 days late, but eventually AF came). And both times I didn't really get excited about having the baby (life is so crazy its really better if we wait), but I was really excited about telling my Mom and the other really important women in my life.

So -- even though we are only starting TTC -- I decided to tell my mom. Now I can talk to her about all my frustrations (and I'm sure there will be many). And she's told me that she's been secretly wishing we would try (she and my dad might even move to be closer to us if we had kids )

In the end I'm really glad I told her. And I'm so excited to be officially TTC!!!!
