Is there anyone that you talk details about TTC with in real life?
I was just wondering if it's strange that I talk to my mom about TTC. She is like a combination of mom and good friend to me, at this stage in my life.
We never say anything about DTD or any of that stuff (way too weird). But I've talked to her about charting, using the Ovwatch, my luteal phase, that sort of stuff.
And apparently every time I get off the phone with her, my dad asks her if I am pregnant!

Well I did talk to my good friend, mom and sister but after this last m/c when my friend and mom basically told me this next time I should just let it happen and not obsess I decided I'll just not talk about it with them this time. So my JM sisters and my real life sister are the only ones that get updates. Travis gets high level updates but he prefers not to know all the details.

Nope, I don't. LOL! It doesn't that we're not actually TTC right now, and when we do I don't want to talk to my family about it because they'd all think we were crazy/stupid for TTC before Erin's 2 and I just don't want to deal with that.

I talk to my best friend Bdai (his real name is Brandon). It may seem weird that I talk to a guy about it, but he doesn't care.

I don't talk to anyone other than DH about ttc stuff, and even he gets only tidbits here & there. We've had a few people make comments on how many kids we already have, so we'd rather not here anyone thoughts on trying for #5... Thank goodness for JM so I have an outlet.

I've got a good friend I can obsess with over every little detail, but I mainly come here. The rest of family & friends, I tell them some stuff, but most of them don't get all the details!

I don't talk to anyone IRL about TTC. We aren't exactly trying right now anyway.

I don't talk about it to anyone but you ladies. You are the only ones who truly understand anyway.

I don't really feel like I can talk to anyone IRL. Before we m/cd last time, no one even seemed to be happy about the pregnancy. Maybe because my family is going through a lot right now, but it still hurt my feelings. Since we started trying again, I mentioned it to my sister and she just acted annoyed...So I just talk to JM and DH.

I only talk to DH about it. I don't want to have to answer a bunch of questions about it and DEFINITELY don't want to hear people's opinions that this is the wrong time etc!

I didn't speak to anyone about it, except DH to let him know we needed to DTD. I just hate for people to know to much!

I talk to my SIL some. She had challenges conceiving and finaly got her baby boy through invetro, so she seems to understand a lot and has read all the articles on what foods to eat (and not eat) to be more fertile and such. My SIL just told me they are thinking about invetro again. Their son just turned 2. It is just so darned expensive.

I talk to one of my friends at work about it all. I talk to Dave about it all. I tell my family very little. They think we *try to hard*. Most of my close co-workers know about TTC and my cycles, but not the BD/CM/Chart stuff. I think my friends at work want this as bad as I do for us right now. Babies at work are always *mothered* by the entire store. Even though I work for a major retailer it feels like a big family. I can't wait to be PG again <sigh>
