    I am getting ever so excited that this time next week i will be at the airport waiting for my flight to Edinburgh. Its been months since i was back home and what with me being ill recently i am so looking forward to going home for a few days. OH and i are debating if we should tell my mum that we are TTC. Monst of his family have found out due to all my problems and i feel funny that my family dont know yet. I know they will be fine but i just dont know if i should or just wait till we get our BFP and tell them then. What do you think ladies?? XX

    My DH told his brother who then told his mum. She is now driving me nuts!! And DH is cleaning the cat litter tray for the rest of his life!!!

    However, told my mum and was actually lovely, very supportive, doesn't ask me what is going on, but was nice to talk to her about it. For me I had concerns with holding my career back while i took a break and my mum really helped put it into perspective. That is what they are good at!

    So, that's my experience, but you must do whatever feels right to you, think about it, once your've told you can't untell.....just ask my DH!!

    My mum knows we are trying again after mmc but she doesnt ask me about it which I quite like, I wouldnt want her asking me every month wether im pg or not!!

    I have told my mum and she is lovely!! Especially giving me hugs when AF shows up! Have not told MIL as she would drive me mad!! I have found it really useful especially as my mum had IVF to have me and my twin after two natural conceptions with my brothers so has a lot of experience!!!

    i think everyone in my family would be assuming we are ttc as they know we had a mc. i have explained my long cycles to both mother and MIL and told them that the doc will refer me this cycle if it is another long one, so they dont ask!

    I know she will be happy with the news and i dont think she will be asking much qus but then i cant say that for defenate. I would love to tell dad and my step mum aswell but this hols wont be the time ( our hol is for 50th bday party for them both) I just dont know what to do to be honest. I think mum will find it strange not being in same country as me to help me threw all this TTC stuff. As the months pas by with no BFP she would want to be with me but she cant. XX

    Both our families know. Have to say my mum isn't that supportive, she says things I don't want to hear like "I bet your sister will be pregnant before and she's got problems" or "I spent every month worrying that I was pregnant - you should count yourself lucky!". It's nice if she will be supportive to you hun. tbh, i think I've had more support off the women that i work with!!!

    Have a good think about it and make sure it's the right decision for you both x

    both our Parents and families know. My MIL keeps asking my SIL if there are problems with us as it has been nearly 9 months!! my SIL is getting frustrated with my MIL as am I.

    My mum keeps coming up with names for her potential grandchild...it took her 2 years to conceive with me - she says it happened when they stopped trying and urges me to do the same - quite sweet really!!
