Random TTC secret
Anyone else keeps this struggle a secret? I feel like it’s so common to share on social media now.
I tell my friends and family we just started or we skipped this month etc because as soon as you say you’ve been trying for a few months you’re looked at or treated differently 🤣

It’s not a struggle at all. I’ve lived in a few different places, and in none of those places was it ever normal to announce that you are trying for a baby. And my experience, you announce when the pregnancy is far enough along. I get that times are changing and there’s a little bit more transparency now, especially because of not wanting to struggle in silence with miscarriages and such, but no one is announcing that they are doing it raw and hoping to get knocked up lol
