Moondance - if You don't mind me asking, why can't you tell anyone IRL about you TTC? ARe you keeping it a surprise? Or are you worried that people will think you and DH are moving to fast? Or you don't know anyone to talk to about this? I'm so sorry you don't have anyone to talk to IRL - I don't either, mainly because I'm keeping it as a surprise from my parents (we're gonna walking into their place with my ultrasound taped to my stomach hehehe), and I only have 1 friend that has kids, and she didn't have nay trouble concieving.

As for your Q - I'm sorry I can't help you, I'm new to all this too
Well, my family would probably say DH and I are moving too fast, but I don't feel we are, nor does he. He's 45 years old, and he wants to have a child, and I feel I'm at a prime time at my age of 28 to be doing it (yes, I know, there is a big age gap, but I don't think that matters when two people are as closely bonded as we are).
My dad has constantly said everytime I'm with my partner "don't come home pregnant" and he's not joking, I know he'd get angry, so when I do finally conceive, I'm just going to tell him it was an accident and accidents happen, if I told him I did it on purpose, he'd be really angry. I'm his "little girl", the youngest... etc etc.

I've told people a couple times that my periods are a week late, and they immediately start freaking out going "oh no, thats not good!" and panicking about me being pregnant, so its a bit of a pain, I mean, gee people, what about the "congratulations"
