For the last two plus years of trying to conceive I've been thinking about a great trick to outsmart co-workers that suspect pregnancy.
In our work bathroom there is a tray of tampons and maxi pads near the sink. Starting next week, whenever there are other people (that I know) I am going to reach for a tampon before heading into the stall.
C'mon, isn't that brilliant?!
Just stopping by from ICLW and wanted to say. THAT IS BRILLIANT! You could also start asking if anyone has Midol if they really get suspicious. Haha!! Good luck keeping your secret, and CONGRATS!!

That is a great idea! I'm not pregnant, but people probably suspect I am trying to conceive, so I am always a little worried that my hormone injection and emotional eating induced weight-gain will lead people to ask if I am pregnant. In social situations I always make sure to have a drink in hand, to put people off the track.
ReplyDeleteFirst and Only, I also worried that people would think I was pregnant because of the belly I had developed from the drugs. It seemed SOOOO unfair and twisted. I looked the part but only got a bruised belly in return.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your pregnancy. I'm fairy sure once I reach this point it is going to take everything in me to not shout it from the rooftops! Good luck with your decoy.
ReplyDeleteWishing you what must be the happiest ICLW ever!
Congratulations on your pregnancy! You're giving me hope that my first IVF cycle might do the trick!
ReplyDeleteI love your decoy idea! My co-workers all know what we're going through, but our families don't so it's been an interesting challenge not to let anything slip.
Happy ICLW!

Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a brilliant idea.
Not sure if you use would go out or not, but you could talk about how drunk you got, or to throw people off even more, take some "fake" party pictures with a few (empty) bottles of beer or grape juice wine and post them on facebook!!
Happy ICLW

lol I think thats fantastic. I'd keep it a secret as long as possible, and continue reaching for the tampons long after I start showing. Really throw them for a loop!
ReplyDeleteVery clever! If I ever have a pregnant belly again, I'm dying to reply, when asked if I'm expecting, "Oh no, sorry, I'm just fat!" xxx
ReplyDeleteHaha, nice idea, love it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your pregnancy!
