I want to wait as long as possible (since telling them will be telling them I'll be going on maternity leave during our busiest time of year) but I have a work trip with both my bosses and a few co-workers for three days in my 13th week. I kind of want at least my bosses to know before then because we'll be traveling together and it will be very obvious when i don't have a cocktail at dinner.
When did you tell or when will you tell?
Re: when did you tell work/when will you tell?
I told my immediate co-worker while going through the process because she had gone through it herself and I also needed her to cover for me on a couple of occasions. Other than that, I told my friends at 12 weeks and my boss at 16. Just told the rest of the folks because my stomach is starting to pop out.
But I may have been a little on the extreme because I had a late loss the last time. Its up to you- don't feel obligated to tell anyone until you're ready.
i told my boss at 7 weeks because another girl annouced her pregnancy at 4 weeks & we'll both be out around the same time.
other than that- only like 2 people know. everyone else will know when we know the sex in 3 weeks
if i can hide it that long!

I want to wait as long as possible. Right now my plan is sometime in the beginning of May when I'll be about 14/15 weeks. I'd prefer to tell all our family first and we'll be telling the last people the first weekend in May when I'm 14 weeks.
Of course if I start really showing before then I might have to bite the bullet, but so far I've been able to hide what little fat/bloat I've got going on. I need to tell them sometime in May because we have a huge work meeting in June and another in November that I won't be able to attend, plus I don't want them making plans for me for the end of the year when I'll be on leave.
After a loss at 13wks and years dealing with IF and failed treatments (3 failed IUI and 1 failed IVF), we have been blessed with DS (surprise BFP) and now his little sister (2nd round of clomid and TI) on her way.
2 chem preg, 4 failed IUIs, 2 canc IVFs, 2 BFN IVFs, IVF #5 = BFP!!!
3/23 Beta #1 @ 17dpo = 913, Beta #2 @ 19dpo = 1724, Beta #3 @ 21 dpo = 3240
