Hiding my ttc?
My husband and I are avtively tcc for the last month now. Prevously I had no periods due to severe stress as well as I was diagnosed with severse depression. This has lasted for the last three years. I am healthy now and off the anti depressants.
All my family and friends know about my health issues, but Ia have not told them about our ttc. I have wanted a baby for so long now and I finally get the chance to actively engage/take charge of my fertility, but my husband thinks I obses. And he gets anoyed with my many hpt's and opk's. So I was wondering should I hide this process from him and just suprise him when/if it happens. Should I tell my close family members so they can support me? I am so worried about this since I am very determined career woman and I might be discouraged from ttc since I am 28 and this should be the time I establish my professional careeer. Can someone help please?

Congratulations on getting healthy! That must feel great!
Your husband should be supportive of anything you decide to do or as he calls it obsess over! My husband just sits back and let's me do whatever I need because it makes me feel better about the process. I shared some stuff with my family but they started asking alot of questions when nothing was happening so it made me sad about everything that wasn't happening even though I have no control on what my body decides it was the to produce or not.
Don't let your career put your dreams of having a baby on the back burner, you can do both! Don't let your age determine your path either, do what you want to do, when you want to do it. If you keep putting stuff aside it will never happen!
This is of course what I feel and think. Hope some of it helps. Good luck to you in all your decisions.

Hi Miranda,
We sound very similar lol. I too try and control and obsess over each situation from getting pregnant, to trying to understand my body, to my career, ect. It is REALLY hard when someone especially your partner tells you to " just relax". You know they're trying to help however it's harder than it looks right?!
My advice to you though, it may sound silly is -- Talk to your body, to your uterus, to your brain. Give yourself some positive reinforcement. And keep in mind it's okay to fail. Because there's always another month to try again.
Best of luck to you xx
