FB/TN Annoyance

Why is it that some people feel they need to announce to the world (or the interwebs) that they are TTC?  

Yay, you're having sex without protection... GOOOO YOU!

Re: FB/TN Annoyance

  • FB, yes I can understand that being annoying.  I don't think I've had anyone announce they're TTC on mine yet, but I'm not counting it out yet.

    But on the nest?  Really?  I share a LOT more on the nest than I do on FB and I like to think I would tell you guys whenever we decide to start trying.  Maybe not a big announcement, but it would probably come up that we're entering that stage of life.

    I agree with this. On FB, that would be really weird. On the Nest, I think it makes sense. It's like how I used the Knot to talk about my wedding, so I didn't bore all my IRL friends with non stop wedding talk. I would think the Nest (esp the GP board) would be somewhere you could talk about TTC, so you're not creeping your IRL friends out with TTC talk.

    Totally agree. We plan to tell very few people IRL so I feel like this will be a place that I can come for advice, concerns, and general venting.

  • I've never seen it on FB, but on The Nest I don't mind. The TTC tickers are a little weird to me, but people have tickers for all kinds of stuff, so I barely notice.

  • I did have a friend that got married a couple weeks ago that made the announcement that they're TTC on Facebook. Way TMI. Obviously the getting pregnant board is not applicable to this annoyance, but it's the whole thread devoted to the announcement that drives me bonkers. Mentioning it in a thread, venting, or asking questions doesn't bother me, but to AW your sex life just for the heck of it squicks me out.

  • See, I wouldn't even mind if someone started a thread "Wow, pretty freaked out that we started TTC for real."  NBD in nestland for me.

    ETA:  I meant on the local.  Or GP.  Whichever board you have your group of efriends.

  • I could understand not putting that on FB but have no problem putting that on TN.  It is nice having the support of others when you are going through issues if you are trying to get PG.  It was a huge support to me when we were having troubles to have ladies who understood what I was going through or had been through it and could answer any questions I had about IF.

    I agree as well.  Totally not appropriate for FB but here we're all in similar places in our lives so it makes sense to talk about it.  The TTC boards here can be a HUGE source of information if you're having any kinds of issues too.
