Tomorrow is the day that some of our hilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarious friends will decide to announce their fake pregnancies via social media, and perhaps in person. I say we make it into a game. Whoever counts the most BS announcements in their news feed (or whatever) wins. Perhaps a badge as a prize???

I thought about doing it myself for April fools and then come out about IF and use it as a lead into my IF awareness week blurb. (but since Im in the 2ww, so i really might be pregnant). But i wanna play!!! I know there will be a lot of stupid April Fools jokes out there.

I would love to play but I gave up Facebook for Lent. It has really helped my mental sanity to not see everyone's pregancy annoucements/complaints and baby pictures everywhere.
OMG! I am so grateful for the reminder about the stupidity of some people's "pranks." Otherwise, I know that I would have been caught off guard and upset to see pregnancy announcements on my feed tomorrow. Especially because I had hoped I would have good news to share this week.

I'm antisocial and I "unsubscribed" to everyone that isn't family or someone that I talk to on a daily basis (long before IF). I *think* I'll be safe from this tomorrow, but we'll see I guess!

I win!!! My co-worker and his wife (who works upstairs) just told me they are pregnant and it is NOT a prank, they just thought it would be funny to annouce on April Fools. I only know that it is not a joke because another co-worker told me she saw the sonogram a short while back. What sucks is that she is due the same time I would have been if IVF #1 had worked. And she is kinda bitchy, too.

Our Novel of TTC:
*Male Factor (low count and low motility), High Prolactin, and Polycystic Ovaries (March 2013)
*Recurrent Miscarriage testing also revealed high anti-phospholipids & single MTHFR mutation. (Feb 2014)
*IVF (07/2013): BFP-Natural Miscarriage @ 5 weeks* Madison Riley *FET #1 (10/2013): BFN *FET #2 (12/2013)- BFP-Missed Miscarriage at 8 weeks Kyle Andrew *Chromosomes and Karotyping tests were both normal.We lost a healthy baby boy *FET #3 (04/2014) was cancelled after finding Chronic Endometritis
*Miraculous BFP July 2014!! (I was taking baby aspirin and Cabergoline to stay regulated while "taking a break from TTC" and waiting to consult with a reproductive immunologist!!!)
Our healthy baby girl was born 03/10/15 thanks to daily Lovenox injections and baby aspirin. There are no words for how grateful I am for our rainbow baby.
OK So I hadn't seen any until now. Is it terrible that the first one I saw was my brother in law???? Would my sister hate me if I ripped off his man genitals?? What a mega douche he is!

Twinkie0612 that really sucks, I'm so sorry. The bitchy co-worker's wife's pregnancy is the first one that has really hit me hard since we started IVF. My co-worker did tell me (after showing me the sonogram uninvited- ugh!) that they were having trouble and about to try an IUI when she got pregnant, so that helps a little.

I'm not on FB (I'm a weirdo, I know), but today I am so thankful for that. Sending lots of hugs to all of you who has to hear any insensitive announcements today. There should be a way to send online slaps to people instead of liking their statuses.
3 pregnant pranks/april fools posts today. but like @NariaDreaming said, i did see more saying those kind of pranks are not appropriate.

Thankfully I have not seen any (nor do I recall seeing any in the past). Perhaps since most of our friends already have kid(s) and only recently did we learn that several of them also went through IVF; they realize that isn't funny/appropriate, etc since you never know.
I have continued to see legitimate preg announcements from friends (not today though). And I saw one of my best friend's this weekend - she told me they are going to start trying for #2 once I told her that I don't want her to ever feel she can't tell me / talk to me about when they are trying for #2 (she has been extremely supportive and I would be happy for them when they do have their 2nd). I think the only thing that really bothers me is seeing the progression of 'bump' photos or numerous u/s on FB. I am happy (on most days at least) for those that are pregnant but don't need to see the weekly/monthly bump photos nor do I need to see the sonogram photos.
It's been a super long, busy day for me, so I haven't been able to check in much. I'll catch up with this thread tomorrow in full, but I wanted to say WOW about some of these! I have to admit--the one from the guy is a teeny bit funny to me, but the positive pregnancy tests should still be kept off FB. And for those whose best friends and siblings did this "prank"--do they KNOW about your IF????
Also, is the winner three "announcements"? Surprisingly I had none this year, which I think was a first. Probably because most of my friends have now had their babies. Sigh.
