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...?

DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL!!

Posted by: Heinz57 on Mon Jan 14, 2008

My husband & I had been trying for 1 year & we live in a small town. It turns out I had a hypothyroid problem. I started taking a synthetic hormone (synthroid) & my hormone levels went down right away! We got pregnant & were so excited! My husband wanted to tell everyone . . . I wanted to wait until the first trimester was over. We ended up having a miscariage at 10 weeks, but A LOT (it seems) of people knew by then. It has been a few months, but now everyone wants to know when we are "going to start trying again." My advice is kind of in the line of "Don't ask, don't tell!" Don't ask if your friends are trying to get pregnant, DON'T TELL IF YOU ARE TRYING. It's just so much easier that way. If you want to tell your very good friends then do. Just-in-case something happens, or things do not go as planned you do not have to be constantly reminded of what feels like a personal failure (EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T!) when you go to the grocery store. It is a wonderful exciting time in your life BUT KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!
