Who's told parents about ttc
Hi girls,
I was just wondering who has told there parents they are ttc. I work with my dad and finding it really had to make excuses each time i need to go to docs for lack of af appointments. I need to go and get blood test results but i've used optician, dentist etc etc quite alot this month!!!! I really wanted to just tell them one day 'your gonna be grandparents' but its so hard.
Anyone else got any told or not told parents experiences?

We haven't told our parents we are ttc. Am in two minds as to whether to tell them or not. I think that they probably think we either are or will be soon as we got married at the end of last year and my folks know that I would like a family. I think the main thing stopping me saying anything is that one of my sister is also ttc and having fairly major fertility issues and I am a bit worried how she will be if we do get pg.
Am having acupuncture at the moment and Mum goes too so have spoken to the acupuncturist and she is not saying anything either.
When do you think you will tell them? Do you think you will wait until 3 months or tell them sooner?
If anyone thinks its bad their dad knowing about sex then try telling them you are sticking a syringe of a strangers sperm up yourself!!!!!!!!lol!!!!!!!!
I wanted my parents approval really before I went this route of tcc. In fact all my friends and work collegues know too.I am a nurse on an elderly ward so its heavy work and as soon as I get my bfp everyone will have to know anyway. The support I have got so far has been amazing!!
If i do get pregnant though I think I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret from my mum and sister although funnily enough my husband would want us to keep it a total secret until the 3 months are up. I think he's saying that now because I flipped out so much when i found out he told his dad we were going to be ttc!
we told my parents my grandparents (they are like my mum and dad) Hubby's parents our brothers and sisters and i told two close friends.
I am not worried how long it take I don;t feel any pressure from them and they all never ask about it which is nice. I would of hated it if i told them and they said every month well??? That would get to me.

When anyone asks, we just say stuff like, 'we're not ready yet, we enjoy our freedom too much, I've got a new job so we'll have to wait til I've settled in to that'. Practically anything to keep people of the scent!
The more I write on here, the more I tend to think I'm a bit odd!!!!
