edited April 2014 in Pregnant after IF
So we finally made our little bean Facebook official today...and I am freaking out and I don't know why haha. Did anyone else feel weird about posting it? I know I am 13 weeks and I got the all clear from the OB that we can tell anyone we want because things look good but it's so scary. I'm not a big Facebook user anyway but I do like the idea that family far away can see our little beans ultrasound pic. What are everyones thoughts and when did you post it (if you did)?

    We have tons of family and friends that we mostly keep up with on Facebook - aunts, cousins etc who live too far away to keep in touch with otherwise. When I was pregnant last time, we announced on Facebook after the 20 week anatomy scan but I will probably send old fashioned letters to a few people before that to share the news!

    We told our extended family via email about 14 weeks and then officially on FB around 16 weeks.  The reason for the FB delay was because I wanted to get some maternity pictures, and it took some time to schedule the session with the photographer, get the photos etc.  It definitely feels good to be out in the open, especially since the journey to get pregnant was a long one.

    We announced this time at 12 weeks and i still hate saying it, like i am going to jinx it or something... There are people i see everyday who still dont know... I only have ab 70 friends on FB and most are family and long distance friends...
    Its winter so big clothes help hide stuff but soon its going to be warm and i wont be able to hide it...
    I guess this feeling never goes away... I was the same with my son and i did not announce with him till 18 weeks and told work at 20 weeks...
    Do what feels right, good luck!

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

    Baby Dust To All!!!

    I didn't announce it on FB. I am not a big poster anyways. My husband posted it after our first trimester and that kind of spread the news as we have a lot of mutual friends. I told close friends and family first though either in person, text or email- whatever kind of happened organically!
    Me 36/DH 46 Me: Low AMH (.21) DOR, mild endo; Started seeing RE 11/12
    Jan-March '13 3 IUIs Clomid + Trigger = BFN

    If things keep going well, we plan to Facebook announce after our 12 week NT scan when we graduate from the RE. It's nervewracking for sure! But it's also stressful being careful of what I say to whom in what company so that I don't accidentally let people know about the biggest thing going on in our life.
    ****loss discussed*****

    We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.

    Our IUIs
    with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.

    Our IVFs:
    IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response

    IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
    BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
    2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
    BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
    1st ultrasound (3/6  6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm. 

    ***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***

    FET #1 December 2014
    Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)
    BFP on Dec. 27; Beta 1 Jan 2 (14dp3dt): 665, Beta 2 Jan 4 (16dp3dt): 1859, Beta 3 Jan 6 (18dp3dt): 4449, Beta 4 Jan 10 (22dp3dt): 12,251.

    I waited til I was almost in my 3rd trimester.  I wasn't going to say anything on FB at all, but there started to be some awkwardness about who among my friends and family knew and who didn't, so I figured it was the easiest way to spread the news.

    I really hesitated on saying anything, since being on the other side of all those pregnancy announcements for the longest time, I know how much it can sting when you're going through IF and/or a loss and you read about yet another friend being pregnant.

    Thanks ladies, I'm feeling better about it now. It did cross my mind about having to see all the announcements when we were trying but none of our friends are close to wanting/trying for kids so I felt a little better (my friend list is very small).

    Yes I am so glad it is finally out! No more watching what I say around people
