    So, we're TTC, and I've only told 2 very close friends and I don't think he's mentioned it to the guys so it's very quiet.  Just how I wanted it.  Neither of us need that added pressure when people know that you're trying.

    So, yesterday we're all watching a football game at a bar and he mentions to one of the other wives (who, I really don't like) that "we pulled the goalie".  OMG.  My head snapped around so fast (and I don't think anyone else heard since it was really loud) but he just told one of the people in our little group who has quite possibly the biggest mouth.  

    I wanted to haul him out back and smack some sense into him.  He thinks it's fine since "we're not pregnant yet" and it's not like he spilled that.  Ugh.  Seriously, men sometimes!

    It means you stopped using birth control to try to conceive.

    @eloping: The goalie refers to birth control.  So when you say you pulled the goalie, you have stopped using birth control.

     Oh yeah. Sometimes I know for sure my husband does NOT think before he speaks. Its also usually the times where he's very confident in what hes saying or thinks hes being really funny and all I can do is shake my head. It keeps me from wringing his neck!

    I would be so mad because that is so private.

    And to the topic at hand, yes I would be completely pissed if my husband said something like that!

    i think the sentance is hilarious!! first time i've heard it. 

    But I'm sorry he said that...creates unnecessary pressure on you both.

    That is indeed frustrating.... my hubby does things like this too! But, I will say, it doesn't mean you're necessarily trying. We pulled the goalie awhile ago and aren't trying for awhile. So, maybe you could clarify and say that? :)

    @monalisa670:  As much as I would love to talk to her about it I a) don't really want to bring it up again since I'm hoping her little head has forgotten about it and b) I don't really like her so she's going to know that I'm trying to cover my behind.  It's a no win situation so I'm hoping that for the first time in her life she didn't tell all of Seattle.  Now, if she's told her husband...well then we're all screwed since he doesn't have a filter and will blab it to any guy that will listen.  Should be a rather interesting Holiday season.  Cheers to awkward conversations!

    Ah, yes... my FI needs a muzzle from time to time also ;) lol.

    I think that TTC is one of those things that is (obviously) very personal, so it is nerve-racking to tell people about it, just in case things don't go as planned. I had a co-worker who went through a similar situation. Not too many people bothered her about it though, so try not to stress.

    If you haven't told DH that he upset you by telling the not-so-friend about it, then I would suggest maybe letting him know so that he doesn't do it again with someone else - just in case :)
