When DH and I were TTC we were the same: didn't want to tell anyone at all, in case it took a long time (which it did).

At work I made a bit of a pretence/joke about "not being interested in kids" or "how would I have the time to have babies with this job?".

With friends and family, when they asked, we just used to say "We are still practising"! LOL, and this would shut most people up.

I was open about it to my 2 best female friends who were both fantastic and sympathetic, and subsequently when I finally did get pg and had an mc they were the best support I could have ever wished for. And when I got pg again, with Olivia, they literally lived and breathed the pregnancy with me, which was so reassurring.

HTH.......
