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...?

My advice, keep it to yourselves

unless your 1000% sure you can trust the person not to blab to others or ask repeatedly. I had a feeling we would have trouble ttc and, after ttc for three years, and struggling with that question, my advice is don't tell anyone. While I think my mom suspects, i've only told my BF in the whole world, who has been nice and not prying about it. I've hinted to others like my niece, who has been like a sister to me, as we are close in age (wasn't a good idea) and SO accidentally let it slip that we MAY have problems when his mom asked when we going to have children (which was a BAD idea, she launched into a hypochroniacal speech about how she had SO much trouble conceiving SO, note, she was SIXTEEN, how much trouble could she have had?, she also has four (three at the time) other children, nuff said). Other relatives, like my cousin (who is to be a father in July) and my grandmother have asked (but not been pushy), all I tosay is, someday (secretly wanting to shout, I HOPE NOW). I think making the decision to not tell anyone was the right one at least for us, talking to other TTCers, USUALLY not saying anything was the best way to go, no rude prying questions or well meaning unsolicited advice etc. My advice is, if your not 1000% sure the person you tell is a supportive and private person, I would keep it to yourself.
