I am no good at fake names-but want to wish you strength, if you need privacy you need it-it is hard to keep organized thoughChat Icon

I considered it, although Sorry, no offense, I hate fake names...so I didnt....But I want to share , yet have had a weird TTC past and am not apt to share too much for I know too many people and I just want to guard myself as well...so Im just sharing bits and pieces, but I understand wanting to just be OUT with it........Chat Icon

I actually outed myself once but had the post removed before it was even noticed.

I personally could care less what the people posting on here know.... The "fake name" wasn't created to hide from anyone on here, but like you to hide from work people.

I completely understand.Chat Icon

Re: I really hate having a fake name...anyone with me?

I completely understand. I have a fake name and it sucks. I chose to come in here not revealing me (not that anyone would know me anyways), but for the fact that those who do know me, I want this to be private and personal for me and my husband. It also started with the miscarriage and wanting to have a place to talk, where people didn't necessarily "know" me.

It sucks. There have been a few things that I have wanted to share, but it would definitely "out" me. So for now I will go down this route, and eventually it will all come out.

Re: I really hate having a fake name...anyone with me?

Yes, sometimes I find it annoying. I get sad that I won't go to the GTGs because I am trying to retain my anonymity Chat Icon

However, there are so many people that come on this site and lurk and I just don't want people knowing before I have a chance to tell my family and friends.

I also have personal friends on here as well and I just don't feel the need to tell them I am TTC and share every detail of my life. There are some things (not much though) that I would like to keep between DH and I.

I don't have a "fake name" but my screen name is something that wouldn't give me up, I don't post personal info and the only pic I put up is one of our backs where you can't see our faces.

I don't like it but there are a few people that know who I am and I don't want them telling any family members that we are TTC. It's our business for right now. I'll come out once I'm PG. Chat Icon

I hate having a fake name & not being able to put up pics & speak more openly about my personal life but this site is too public.

Re: I really hate having a fake name...anyone with me?

I work with at least one other LIF'er (that I know of) and I know some other people at work are lurkers....

Not sure if I am going back to work after DC #2, so that's really the only reason for my fake name. When I finally do get pregnant, I am going to wait as long as possible before I tell work. I have lots of fat to hide the baby! I won't look preggo for long time! Chat Icon
