Who have you or your DP told that you are TTC? What's your plan for telling family and friend? Now or after your BFP? How long will/did you wait to tell after you BFP? What about work?

I am a talker ...that being said, I have told way too many people that we are ttc. So I am getting questions that I am really tired of answering. I am thinking that I will start telling people that we are taking a few months off. Hopefully that will make them leave me alone while I start injections in a few weeks.

I too told waaay to many people that we were TTC. Now on a daily basis I get a call from someone... Goes something like this... "Hello, no not yet". I think after we get a BFP, we are not telling everyone at once. What a pain.

Mom to Orkin (our cat) & Diego (my dane)

My parents and sister know. They have been really supportive. My parents have been saving my crib (that is still up to code!) for me. They have been really good about not asking too often about how things are going. My DP's parents have an idea that we are thinking about kids. DP's Mom and Brother are supportive. DP's Dad said, "Oh, I didn't know they let you people adopt." We have not mentioned it to them since last year.

Our friends on the other hand ask all the time. At first it was OK, but now it is getting a bit hard. Our doctor said that when we get a BFP that we should wait to tell anyone until he can detect a fetal heartbeat. At first I thought that was crazy, but now I understand.

We have been together since November 1998.

TTC since Jan 2006

Because my schedule gets screwy and my coworkers are my friends, everyone at work knows. It's nice to have someone outside of DP to talk to. However, our families don't know. It's a little wierd because we've been pregnant and they know we still want kids, so currently they think we're still taking a break because of the cyst.

We said we weren't going to say anything to anyone till the BFP-

However....
DP told her sister ( with whom she can trust) - she's cool with it. She is prego now a nd is excited for us to have abies at the same time.

My family - a different story - I told my sister (in a weak moment of thinking I could trust her) in confidence... well, she blabbed to my Mom- (who didn't take it well) - So therefore I had to call my Dad (before he heard it through the grapevine) - He and my step-mom are excited about it-
