TTC - To Say or Say Not?

While Trying to Conceive, have you found others (even people you barely know) asking prying questions or offering unsolicited advice? Do you think they mean well and just don't think, or are they being meddling and/or on the rude side? Do you respond, ignore it, brew over it all night...?

TTC - To Say or Say Not?

errrr, myob!

okay, i have one daughter age 3. we have been trying for a second but nothing so far, i have been off of everything for 6 months. it is also starting to be a sensitive question of when are you going to have another one, can i have some privacy!!!! i think part of it is that i am already stressed about the subject and that just makes it worse.

Work Gossipers

My husband and I will be celebrating our 2 year Wedding Anniversary in July, so have decided to TTC this year. As far as making it a topic of conversation, we have chosen not to mention it outside of our close friends and family to avoid pressure.

However, the women I work with (whom are all older than me), have been prying on my personal relations with my husband since the day go!

Obviously now it is slightly more aggitating for me, as my husband and I ARE now trying. However, I have found it best just to ignore their prying questions, such as "So when are you due?!" , everytime I make a passive comment that i'm not feeling great that day. This also normally leads to my colleagues offering unwanted advice on pregnancy topics and a full on conversation between themselves.

It's all very silly, but now that I am TTC this year, I feel it upsets me more, especially now that my husband and I have been TTC since December.

I'd like to think, when/if my partner and I get pregnant, that they would be happy for us. But i'm almost 88% sure it would just be treated as a piece of gossip. x

Wish I hadn't said anything

My hubby and I have been together for 12 years. Married for almost 6. Since we have been getting bombarded with "when are you going to have a baby?" questions, I finally started telling people that we were going to start trying... or that we're working on it.
Now that we're on our 5th month of ttc, I regret telling people!
In the last 2 months, I've found out that my best friend, and 3 other girls I know, are recently pregnant. I want it to be my turn.
I am finally using the opks this month. It was my goal to have a baby by the time I hit 30. Well, my big birthday was April 18th, and I really hope I get a BFP this month!!!

Next time, I will not tell anyone that we're trying. I've learned my lesson.

After the snip

WE have been TTC a year with no luck, my partner had a reversal which we were told had worked. We were getting frustrated and asked for another sperm count and went back for the results yesterday. It was not good news, only 7% is healthy sperm which means we may have to have IVF to help me get pregnant but first I have to have to have some tests done when my next period starts, just to make sure im ok. I dont know how im going to get through this, im am deverstated! My partner took the news quite bad as he sees it as being his fault he cant give me a baby but will do anything to make it happen. I knew from the start what I was getting into and that there was a chance he could never give me a baby, but now that we want to im finding it hard. I dont blame him, I love him to bits, but I wish he never had the snip in the first place!
Please can someone give me some advice, has anyone gone on to have a baby after a reversal??

Waiting But Worried

My husband and I haven't told ANYONE, and we don't plan to until after the first trimester. My husband's family has been asking me if I was pregnant yet since literally 3 months after our wedding!! It is all just very stressful! I just turned 25 and my husband just turned 27 and we have been married a little over a year now, but together for 5 years. I just feel like this is something we should get to enjoy together before we let the world in on our little secret.

I have been off BC for five months now. My original thought was that I wanted all the fake hormones out of my body and to get back to "normal" before we officially started "trying"... anything that happened up until then would just be a nice surprise! But the longer we go without any "surprises", the more worried I get! We want to officially start trying in May, so I'm trying to hold off worrying until then.

Endometriosis and TTC

I am 32 (in march) and I have endometriosis. My husband and I have been married for 3 years and just started TTC in December of last year. Its only been a few months now but the reality of my condition is scaring me more and more.
I am trying to keep a good outlook but secretly I am freaking out. Tracking my cycle is nearly impossible, I am so very irregular. Any other endo girls out there have any advice for me.
