Do you tell people you are TTC?

We are not TTC yet but whenever people ask when we plan to have kids, I say, "probably next year". I will probably answer the same way when we are actually actively TTC.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

I say the same thing. No one in our families know that we are TTC.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

I really try not to make it a habit of telling people outright. I just recently told my mother but I really didn't want to.

I guess if people see me on this site and read my posts on TTC they can put 2 and 2 together.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

My mother and sister are the only ones that really know. When anyone else asks I just try and joke around and say maybe soon....

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

We never told people our plans for TTC. Usually, I'd say something about being focused on getting a house first, which had been our initial plan. When we didn't find a house as quickly as we wanted, we decided to start TTC anyway. I didn't share that information with anyone. I didn't know how long it was going to take and I didn't want people to constantly ask questions or wonder if I was pregnant.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

My mother, sister and a few girlfriends know. My uncle and aunt know because my mom spilled the beans.

My Inlaws have no idea. No one else knows and we usually just say "one day" when people ask if we plan on trying for more.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

I used to say "maybe next year."
Now that it has been a year, I wonder what those people think.

I still say the same answer.

It's an uncomfortable question to answer.

Now I know you don't want to commit to a specific time frame.... because you never know how long it will take. It is also no one else's business.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

i have told several very close friends, but they are not the type to really bring it up again b/c they know it's not always a quick and easy thing. i do not plan on telling my family. they will know we were trying when i tell them i am pregnant!

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

DH & two friends know...that's it.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

It actually slipped a few weeks ago but we are just playing it off as if we don't know when...I just don't want any added pressure

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

everyone knows, it doesn't bother me

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

I've told a few select people - a few friends and my sister and ILs. I feel bad I haven't told my mom but I can only imagine the endless questions! It will be all she thinks about and worries about...uggh! We did tell my ILs and that was the best thing we could've done- they are so excited, it's getting them through a really tough time.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

When people ask I say, "maybe soon".

I have told some friends, my cousin, and my sister that we are TTC.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

NO! To many questions! We will be surprising everyone.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

I only talk about it if the person I am talking to reveals that they are actively TTC and then we can go on for hours about CM, temping and O kits

I don't tell people though -- I think that is private.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

Honestly, nobody really asks us. We are young and barely married one year. It's something that I prefer to keep private anyway though.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

If they ask I am sure I would say so!

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

My sister and my mom knows, but not my friends (yet)

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

It depends on who I'm talking to. My sisters, cousins and friends know that we are trying, but my parents, aunts/uncles, grandparents, DH's mom and sisters don't know. But DH's dad and wife know.

When I talk to people who I don't mind knowing I tell them that we are trying, but if someone asks that I don't want knowing I tell them that I'm still enjoying DD and we'll wait a little longer.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

We are going to start soon, so I guess I should prepare myself for this question. I don't really want to tell anyone, except for talking about it on here. I know if I tell my mom she will be asking me once a month or more how I'm doing. I couldn't take that. Everyone will find out when we get that BFP.

Re: Do you tell people you are TTC?

We didn't when we were TTC for our first DD. When asked we responded "probably next year". We didn't know how long it would take and didn't want any questions, etc. if it took a while. When we announced I was pregnant it came as a complete shock to people-and not always good. So, once we start TTC again, we will tell people "soon". People will still be surprised, but not completely taken off guard. I figure if it takes a while, I'll want people to talk to about it anyway.
