BIL driving me crazy!

Can you tell him to back off? In a nice way, of course, but a "Hey, you know, we're so glad you're excited but we're not sure how long this TTC will take, so we'll let you know if/when it's time to start thinking of purchases?"

IDK, I'm not at all a "Don't tell people you're trying," person because I think if you'd tell them about other big life decisions (new jobs, new house, moving, etc.) you're thinking about why not tell them about this too. But, sitting here way far out from when we started (and I sincerely hope you don't end up here) I'd kill somebody that brought it up every time I saw her/him.

This is why I won't tell family I am TTC, they wouldn't be able to contain themselves, plus I really want them to be surprised when I tell them we are KU. I told 2 of my friends we may TTC sometime in 2013, but that was it. That is pretty adorable of BIL though

My thoughts exactly

My 2ww has felt like an ETERNITY this time around, and I'm not sure why. Also, I'm pretty sure it's a no go this month. Ugh.

My ILs kept asking when I was there last week, and it's like there is no good answer to "Are you thinking about kids?" If I say we're trying, then I'll be dealing w/ what you're dealing with. If I say we're not trying/thinking about trying and then get pregnant in the next few months they're all going to be like, "WHAT?! She just said she wasn't trying. MUST BE AN OOOOPS BABY!"

YKWIM?

I've settled on "we aren't there yet, but we're starting to think we might want kids at some point..." the vaguer the better. Then again, I don't give a shit if someone thought we accidentally got pg.

I dunno if people would think that Lola...my sister told my family she didn't want kids & we believed her until she told us she was PG, then it came out she just lied so she wouldn't have anyone bug her for grandkids....it worked and we were very surprised

I haven't been drinking at family get-togethers and no one has said anything, but 1 I hosted and the other was in the afternoon when not many people were drinking anyways. I honestly have been feeling nauseous and having heartburn so the thought doesn't even appeal to me. The issue will be tomorrow...we will be having a small get together with some friends for NYE and my one friend may say something. I am going to stick to "My stomach has been bothering me" (which isn't actually a lie) or just take a glass of wine and have small sips & dump it in the bathroom later.

We haven't told any family. I've told a few friends when we were ready to try and regret it. They constantly ask. I have a couple friends that know the fertility issues I'm having and it's nice that I can talk to them and they understand. My mom has no idea what's even going on.

That's cute, Nama!

I've only told my Mom and she's happy but doesn't ever mention anything about it. On the other hand, it seems that all my coworkers love to ask me when I am having a baby since I am practically the only female working in my department.
