Did you tell your parents you were TTC?

I haven’t told anybody either including my Mum who I’m close too. I would be tempted to just wait it out. Mums are smart though, sometimes they just know.

Even if she is an old family friend, she should not be telling your mum about your blood test or even if you were at the hospital! That would be highly unprofessional and breaking GDPR. But away from that, we told my in-laws mainly because we got. BFP and it led to a chemical so they now know we are TTC. I guess telling your parents would depend if you think it would help with support or add pressure. My MiL asked the other day if we are still TTC which threw me. But overall they have not applied any pressure-they also respected our boundaries in not telling others.

Yeah, I know. Just think she will let it slip, no malice but we haven't seen her for a long time.
I dont think they would add pressure but I would worry about them being disappointed if it doesn't happen.

I told my mum once I was feeling deflated and emotional that we weren’t managing to conceive. Xx

I didn’t to begin with but after years and years of having constant “your next” “when you having a baby” comments that I told them and others so then When it came to needing ivf i found people were more cautious and I got loads of support from my parents x 

Thank you all, it is really helpful to hear people's experiences. My family have been very good at not making comments. I am 40 and no kids (yet 😬 🤞🏻) so not sure if they are just assuming it's a no go...

I have not, I didn’t want the pressure

I’ve only told my closest friend. I’m quite a private person and wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing it with other people, but everyone is different and some people find reassurance in having others to talk to about it all.

Not anyone's business in my view

We haven't told anybody, even my friends with kids. If it happens I'll tell them immediately, but if not, then no🤷‍♀️
