Success after IF
new here...a question
Hello....I have been on the TTTC board and this is my first post here on SAIF. I got my first beta yesterday at 342. I am cautiously excited as I know this is only the beginning. DH and I have been on cloud 9 since the HPT on Monday. I want to tell our families but I'm not sure if it is too soon. They know what we were going through with IF so I think they may be suspicious. When did you tell your families? I think I am 5 weeks.

Re: new here...a question
congrats and welcome.
The first time we told our parents around 8 wks and we had a m/c around 16wks.
The 2nd time I told my mom when I got my beta -so around 4 wks because she was right there when I got the call from the RE. She had no idea I had even gone in for a beta as we were on a break cycle.
Do what feels right....hopefully you can tell them without them telling 'the world' like cousins and such, if you aren't ready for that. Some families are good with secrets and some are not (mine).
Our families (immediate) knew were were doing IVF and would have asked had I not said anything so we told our parents brothers and sisters right away. Everyone else we waited until the 12th week for, I had an NT scan and felt comfortable with the pregnancy at that point.
Congrats on making it over!
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

We told everyone the first time after my first ultrasound when we saw two sacs. We lost them 1.5 weeks later.
This time we told immediate family only (parents and my one best friend that's like a sister to me) after the first ultrasound. We told grandparents when we saw the heartbeats. We'll let everyone else know at 13 weeks.
We're waiting quite a while this time because we still have people we don't see real often ask my husband when I'm due and how I'm feeling from my first pregnancy. We just wanted to try and avoid that if we could this time.
Congrats!!
Our family knew of the IVF and the beta waiting was over Easter weekend. So we were open about it.
Wait for beta#2 to feel a little more secure and then tell the family.
Hi and Congratulations!!! That is strong beta!
I told my mom and sister after the first u/s and we haven't told anyone else. DH will tell his mom if all goes well tomorrow and we hear the heartbeats.
Tell when it feels right to you.
Congratulations!!!!
We didn't tell anyone not even family til I was fully through my first trimester. I had a very low beta 32.5 to start and I miscarried a twin at 9 weeks. Those two things made us very cautious!
Congratulations, and welcome!
I told my sister after the first positive beta, but waited until we saw a heartbeat to tell my parents. DH told his parents after the second beta and told his brother around 8 weeks or so. We've told a few close friends, and I told my boss, but for everyone else we are waiting until the second trimester.
