Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

Just out of curiousity/boredom...

I won't...i will shout it from the rooftops to you girls.

In my 'life' - we're only telling like 4 people until the 3 month period has passed...so being able to share with you lovely ladies, who have shared my ups & downs will mean the WORLD to me!

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

Nope, didn't create a fake name when I got my BFP, aside from a few girls I'm very friendly with here, I kept it to myself until I had my 12 week sono.

However, I can understand why someone would.

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

Nope, my life is an open book, here and in RL.

My thought proces is this, if something (God forbid) does haappen, then I will have the support of my family and friends to get me through.

I won't either. There are only 2 people on here that I casually know IRL (that I know of) & I don't think that they know I'm here...If they do for some reason, I trust that they know enough not to tell anyone else. One has a dd & the other is pg, so they know the deal Chat Icon

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

i am on the fence about it..
last time i didnt and shouted it out to everyone.. but now i feel more reserved and will be VERY hesitant.. especially because all future pregnancies will always be a worry.. its never safe for me, and i have lurkers that are family.. and god forbid if they found out first.. i dont need that Chat Icon

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

i would tell my family and close friends 1st before posting on here, then tell you lovely ladies. I would want everyone to know and not hide it cause if GOD FORBID something happen i would want and need support and i think it would be a lot for DH and I to deal with alone. I would want my family to support be through that tuff time.

I did the first time around and will also the second time.
I have family and friends on here and like I did the first time, I'll wait till the first sono at 7 or 8 weeks to come out.

I'm not sure yet, I know I have spies on here so I may come out with a fake name at first.

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

Nope...I don't personally know that many people on this site and will have such a hard time keeping it to myself until the 3 month mark, so I would LOVE to be able to share with all of you!

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

Not sure. I only know 2 people on here IRL- one being my sister. I spoke to DH the other night about when we get pregnant again, I don't want anyone to know until i'm 12 weeks. I lost my first baby at 8 weeks last year and we and told everyone we knew. That was both good and bad. We had support from everyone, but we also had to tell everyone what happened. I guess i'll decide when it actually happens.Chat Icon

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

No, because my name is already a secret! I can't wait to get a BFP so I could finally come out of the closet. I have a different name with my true identity on LIW!!!Chat Icon

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

It's so funny you should mention this...I always swore I would not tell a soul, and use a fake name but as you can tell even having the faintest of lines has made me a roof top yeller!Chat Icon I don't know anybody here in "real life" but the anticipation of the fake names is awsome and the guessing......

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

Nope. I will not be telling anyone IRL, and I am going to need to tell someone. You ladies are my support system when it comes to TTC. I would want you to know.

I did b/c I know of random people on here who may or may not know it's me under my 'regular' name (ie: My Mom's friends DILs or whatever) ...And if I'm not telling my family or friends until 12 weeks, and I need to talk to SOMEONE, I can't risk someone I know finding out and yapping to my MOTHER !! -

Nope. I have shared so much with you ladies. You have gotten me through so much sadness that I can't imagine not telling you all first.

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

I didn't and I don't like the fake names -- I just want to know who people are. I get so confused because I become friends with "Fakie" and then she reveals and I forget her new name... OH THE CONFUSION!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

no, I will not make a fake name mainly because no one knows what my LIF name is & I do not plan to add any personal pics or info on here.

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

I said nope because i don't think I will be able to keep it to myself in RL or here. All of the people I've encountered here have been nothing but supportive, so even if something happened (Chat Icon ) I would come here for advice or comfort.

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

I already have a fake name and that is not because I am ashamed or being secretive toward the people from LIF, it is because of people in my personal life that do or may come on here that I don't want knowing until I am preggo and far enough along.

Same here. I didn't post at all about it and only a few of my friends on here knew about it. I made my announcement at 10 weeks.

Re: Just Curious - Fake Name - will you make one?

I made one (obviously). I am a regular poster and discovered that I have someone following my posts on LIW and possibly on here. I figured I may make one once I was pregnant so I just did it a lot sooner.
