Pregnant after IF

The rumors are starting at work

  I have a couple of friends at work that know I'm pg since they were great support during my IVF and one of them just told me people are starting to ask if I'm pg.  I really can't keep it secret much longer but I was hoping to hold out until 12 weeks before I start announcing triplets, I'd hate to have to tell everyone if we lost any of them.  

 

  Should I just tell, since it's pretty darn obvious or keep my mouth shut for two more weeks and hide in my office as much as possible?

  • I think you need to wait until your ready.  If that is 12 weeks, then just hold out, and let them wonder!

    I'm still so excited for you and that things are going so well!!!

    this exactly. Let them talk :)  

  • I'm being chatted about and stared at constantly, and I'm only having a singleton.  i felt the same way, I wanted to tell to just get it over with, but I think deep down I'd feel better after my NT scan (next Wednesday).  But it really is up to you.  Whenever YOU are ready :)

    This is what I think too. Let them talk. Also, I don't think you have to spill the beans about the triplets at the same time you tell them you are pregnant. Maybe you can do it one step at a time :)

    And I am so excited for you too!

    This exactly. If you're ready, you can tell people that you're pregnant, and just not mention the trips until you're definitely ready to do so.

      Ditto this!!  If it would take some of the stress off of you, maybe you could tell them that you are pregnant and have fun celebrating with them...and then share the triplets news when you are ready :)

    I want to see a pregnant Monty!!!!!

    I think you do what you are comfy with.  I told earlier because I was so sick, but that took a huge load off my mind so I was glad I did.

    You will see a pg Monty hopefully, when you're settled more we can talk about a visit so I can meet that boy.

  • We waited until 12 weeks.  I thought everyone was getting suspicious but when I told people they were shocked.  I would just wait if that's when you want to tell.  Let people talk...

  • wait until you are ready...and you don't need to tell people that you are having multiples until you want to.  simply saying that you are pregnant should suffice.

    I agree with M&M. Just tell people you are pregnant, but WAIT till you want to. Don't be forced into it. I think IF, yes I have thought about it, If I am pregnant with twins I will tell people at first I am pregnant, but wait till later, like 20 weeks since that's when people would normally find out. No one here knows about my IF and plans for IVF though.

  • I agree with all the pp about waiting until you're ready.  Everyone at work is speculating about me too.  I only just told my boss.
