Regular posters with anonymous names?

That would be me! Chat Icon
Nobody knows we are trying. DH and I are the only ones who know. It is going to come as a big surprise to our family and friends. I would like to keep us TTC-ing a secret and when I get PG (Chat Icon ) I would also like to keep that a secret until 12 weeks. That is why I am posting as "unidentified."

Who else is with me posting under an anonymous name?

Same story as you! No one knows we're even trying....

I'm also paranoid that I'm going to accidentally post under my "real" name and let everyone know who I am.Chat Icon

I have a lot of aquaintances on here... friends, friends of friends, relatives of friends, and I just don't want to word to get out. Like I said in my first post, nobody knows we are TTC except for me and DH. I want to keep it that way until I am 12 weeks pregnant. Chat Icon

I am TTC and I am using my real name but the odds are that I wont share until I feel comfortable. Too superstitious. I am sure people will guess.

Re: Regular posters with anonymous names?

I am not TTC yet, but when I do, I think I am going to post under my real name. DH and I have agreed that we won't tell our families until a few months, but I feel pretty safe here posting. I'll probably wait until a few weeks after the BFP to post.

I absolutely agree.... I don't want people looking at me all the time to see if I'm pregnant or not. I think its such a personal thing...

Re: Regular posters with anonymous names?

I use my real name, it is safe for me because my friends and family do not really know this site. I don't know any LIF members.
Only my SIL knows we are TTC and she is so helpful and supportive.

I am a regular poster hiding behind an anonymous name... there are some aquaintances on here that I wouldnt want to know yet, especially cause we only told parents and siblings until 3 months!

Guilty as charged. It just makes me feel more comfortable posting questions. Plus, no one, but my best friend knows we're trying.

I'll confess.. Me.
We are not trying yet, but there are always ppl that lurk the site, that know me 1 way or other. I feel better posting anonymously, I can ask questions more freely.

Re: Regular posters with anonymous names?

For me, we're trying - but not telling people because I don't want the pressure of everyone asking me everytime we see them!
I also like that it's something my husband and I can share between us, that no one else knows about.

And the reason I'm keeping it a secret on here is because if something DOES happen, I want my family to know first.

I promise to come out of hiding eventually thoughChat Icon .

This is exactly the reason why I am in hiding as well.

Re: Regular posters with anonymous names?

Me too! I do not like how TTC has become a big public thing lately. Everyone you know asking a million questions and trying to guess.
I have some friends and family on here and it's none of their business.
And you can bet your bottom dollar that I won't be telling ANYONE until I'm 12 weeks.
I have friends who told the world the second they peed on the stick! Chat Icon
To me, there is too much that can go wrong that early on and I don't want anyone knowing until it's safe.

Same here. We're barely TTCing. The last thing I need is for word to get back to my mother before there's any word to share Chat Icon
