When to post on Facebook!
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?[Poll]

Re: When to post on Facebook!
Special Snowflake: Never
I hate the Facebook pregnancy announcements. Anyone who is important enough to us to know that we're expecting will hear it from us in person.
this.
After moving far away from home... that's unfortunately not an option for us.
We'll call close friends, but many friends we keep in touch with via FB, so we'll announce it at some point down the line.

I've got co-workers, people from high school, moms of DS' friends, etc on Facebook. The idea of posting that early, *shudder*.
To each his own - but I think I need to set up some smaller groups on Facebook before I announce anything!
Wow - had the pee dried on the stick yet?
Wow. You are really, really lucky you didn't have to untell. It was hard enough to untell my very close family with my first loss.
Wow. You're brave.
We'll wait until after we've told all close friends/family/co-workers before posting on FB, so sometime in 2nd tri.
This!
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!

Your poll says "2nd semester" btw...
We are having our close friends over for Labor Day - I'll be 12w2d and we'll tell them then. Then I'll probably tell my work. Only after that will I announce on FB. I work for a university and FB plays a part in my job so I have a few coworkers and students on there.
Back when MySpace was cool there was a girl I went to high school with who announced two pregnancies right away and lost both babies. I thought how awful it would have been to go through that "publicly" and won't set myself up for that while loss is still a significant possibility (in the first tri).
I think Facebook is the last place where you will be sharing with others because there are so many people you are "friends" with that you normally would not personally call to share.
Just remember whoever you tell, you have the possibility of having to "untell." I can imagine the more people, the harder that is.
