Nobody IRL knows. Even my dh. He is against swaying and thinks it just gets my hopes up. I told everyone that I was watching what I eat because I didn't want to gain a lot of weight when I weaned ds3 (which was also true), so they know I'm being careful about what I eat and that I am not snacking. People have noticed my weight loss, and my dh has expressed some concern about it, but I just told him I want to be healthy. It is difficult, especially when someone makes something really yummy and I want to eat it, but I don't, and they wonder why - like my MIL is always bringing food over. I take a few bites to make her happy and then save the rest for the kids and dh.

Nope. I'm not even telling anyone (except DH) that we're TTC again. Too much judgement from my mother in particular!!!
When we get preggo we're just gonna say we had an 'accident', not that anyone will believe us, LOL. And I'm sure I'll get a lecture no matter what from my mom on how we need to stop and how it's unfair to our other kids to have more....sigh....Me (38) and DH (38)

No way, others would think i am crazy or something! They don't even know i am ttc, they say after 6 boys to get over it and it is NOT possible to have a girl . I rather keep everything to myself than have to deal with everyone else negativity which is added stress that i do not need.
Mommy to 7finally had
#1 in 2016! Had boy #8 after. Now returning to try to sway for final child praying for
#2 🤞🙏

My DH knows and I told my mom and dad about my plans. They are totally supportive that's why I knew I could trust them not to judge me and not tell anyone else. I know ppl would think I'm crazy and start with stuff like "well don't get your hopes up" and "just pray for a healthy baby" yada yada. I'm not up for hearing all of their nonsense lol

No, I didn't tell anyone and when I try again in a couple years I still won't. My family would get so smug if they knew and I failed. I wouldn't be able to take that. The only person who knows/would know is DH, but he sorta has to be on board lol.

I've told my sister, but I'm not telling anyone else. God, I'd probably be crucified if I did O_O
I'm just telling people that I'm trying a new experiment to lower my blood sugar, thus lowering my weight. Thankfully I am overweight and loosing 30 lbs wouldn't hurt me one bit so no one thinks anything of it. We aren't going to tell anyone when we start to TTC either and we aren't announcing it to family before after our 12 week scan, although that's because of all the m/c's we've been through.2005
