Do you tell people you're ttc?
Bit nosy i know but i just wondered whether you tell people, ie family, close friends or even random people generally (!) that you're ttc. We've only been ttc since beginning of May properly, I'm quite secretive about it, haven't told any of my friends, even my mum! Tbh I wouldn't mind telling my mum, but I've got it in my head that if i tell anyone it will somehow increase the pressure. We got married last year and ppl are bad enough for constantly asking 'no pitterpatter of tiny feet yet???'... i usually just shrug my shoulders and say nah we're in no rush! If only they knew how blimmin impatient i am in reality! lol :roll:

had to tell my close family as had a few probs and needed lap and dye a few weeks ago - exactly as my mum did with me and my sis...hmmm...I see a pattern forming!!
good luck with TTC! xx
sasha - love your lil bunny on your avatar - gorgeous!!
I think like most of you, if I tell people, I'll get fed up of people asking and feel more pressure. I actually told my brother off the other day for asking about it! I pointed out that some people have problems conceiving so its an insensitive question. I must have ranted as he looked quite taken aback!

having said this, i have told a friend at work who has supported me through mc and it is nice to have someone to talk to about it out loud. she was almost as excited as i was when i told her i'd got my first AF since mc the other week!!

its oh's sister who is giving me reflexology so shes been really supportive and not asking all the time, only talks about it when i bring it up!!!
my best friend has been cool as well no one is really pressuring me which was one of the reasons we didn't really want to tell anyone to start with but oh couldn't hold his water!! so to speak! lol!!
we don't really get to much pressure as we're not married yet!!
I am not married but we have been 2gether 7yrs and people always ask when it will be our turn - especially now my 18yr old cousin is 6mths pg!! It is a nightmare and bugs the hell out of me as it isn't any of their business. I always say 'when the time is right' and they shut up then - til the next time!
