DH and I are going to start trying soon. I've told people now that we hope to be expecting before i turn 26, but that's all. I doubt I'll say when specifically. I think it'll only add to stress and increase "so are you yet" questions. I don't know when i'll tell either so I hope to avoid asking for those questions to be asked by telling people we're trying.

I personally would not tell people because they may feel inclined to ask if you are pregnant more frequently if they know you are trying. This could become extremely frustrating if it takes longer than expected to get pregnant.

We have told ppl mainly so they understand the stress we are under -- I don't think I could keep it a secret. I stink at secrets.
