wow, there are a few of lurkers here!!! Great stuff. So, my new question is... Have you told anyone that you are getting ready/ thinking about TTC? I sort of want to keep it under wraps, although everyone i know... knows that i want kids. Everyone expects us to start, even my BIL said that he thinks that we will be announcing that we are having a baby in 6 months or less. I have been trying to play it cool with friends and family... but i am thinking that i am not a good actress. The main reason that i don't want to tell everyone is that #1 it is a private matter and #2 i am afraid that it will take a long time and i don't want to deal with everyone asking... so, any luck this month?? I will of course tell my Friend who is preggers, since i think that it is only fair, I knew every detail with her and it would be nice to have one person to talk openly with. We are keeping it under wraps.. I have a 6 yr old daughter from a previous relationship and I am soooo sick of random ppl asking us when we are going to have more children I just started telling htem we arent sure if we ever WILL have more children - it is a personal matter, and if for some reason it does take up a long time to get preggo - i do not want to continue to be asked that question on a regular basis - it makes me crazy!
Even my mom thinks that we wont ever have any kids - hahaha I guess she will be extreamly suprised when that day comes! LOL

LOL I also have a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship, but my DH and I (just got married June 27th) have started TTC! But we have not told anyone, we are keeping it as our own little secret until it happens!

wow, there are a few of lurkers here!!! Great stuff. So, my new question is... Have you told anyone that you are getting ready/ thinking about TTC? I think that my two best friends are the only ones who know that I am obsessed with having a baby. I haven't told anyone in my family about it yet though. I would rather they be surprised when it happens. I am glad that I have a few friends that I can talk to about this. Although I am the only one thinking about getting pregnant -one friend is getting married next summer and the other is in law school. I love coming on CB and reading all about everyone's experiences and seeing everyone's babies and baby bellies.

Everyone knows that we want kids at one point, but we don't get into specifics with anyone, just a general couple of years timeframe. I talk babies with my closest friends all the time, but they both have kids so it's more me asking about what works vs what doesn't, that sort of thing. I have no intentions of telling anyone IRL when we're actively TTC, and even on here I try to keep timelines fairly under wraps, although since anyone can view my posts I'm sure way more people know more than I'd like  It's a hazard of chatting with the same girls all the time, sometimes you forget that things are up for public consumption!
 Married at the Barcelo Marina Palace in Varadero on August 14/07 - best day ever!

That is what we did. We kept it to ourselves, and of course I asked a few questions on CB...but I never really said that we were actively TTC. The only person IRL who knew we were TTC was my sister in law, but she is my bestfriend and I NEEDED someone to talk about it to and she'd just had a baby. I personally think that is the way to go. My other SIL has been TTC for 4 years and has been having a lot of fertility issues, and it's a HUGE family matter...

| His family and my family know.. some of my close friends know and even a couple girls at work. I was telling people because they would ask me what I would be doing once I moved to MI... I stopped 'announcing' that we we're going to TTC after I had told my aunt. She gave me a big lecture that we should wait, we're too young (I'll be 24 a week after we get married, FH is 25), that a lot of her friends that got married and had kids right away regret that they didn't give themselves 'alone time' after, etc, etc... Honestly, clearly we've already talked about it as it is a big decision and we are doing what is right for us.
