I wasn't wanting to announce our pg at all on Facebook, but my sister posted pictures of our gender reveal cupcakes from the weekend on her facebook page, and I instantly got private messages about it. Smh. I'm not sure how to announce that we have been blessed with a miracle pg, and touch on the IF struggle we had. What did you all post on Facebook to announce your pg/sex?
I was thinking about posting one of those collages with music (Christine Perri's "A thousand years". Any suggestions are welcome

We announced at 26 weeks and I had a photo that said "Sometimes Miracles Come in Pairs" and had two pairs of baby socks. My message said "after a long and difficult road, the McIrishes were thrilled to announce that we were finally expecting twin baby girls in November. A special thanks to the friends we've made along the way who encouraged us to keep going when it seemed hopeless. We are so grateful for our miracle babies and excited to begin the next chapter of our lives".
It was important for me to acknowledge our IF but I didn't expose the graphicness of it etc. I also didn't publicly disclose that we used DE although a lot of people do know that.

I would do what you're comfortable with, you'd be surprised at how many people may reach out to you privately to talk about it. But I'm just not a huge fb person, so I don't announce many things on there anyway.
*IVF (07/2013): BFP-Natural Miscarriage @ 5 weeks*
*FET #1 (10/2013): BFN
*FET #2 (12/2013)- BFP-Missed Miscarriage at 8 weeks
*Chromosomes and Karotyping tests were both normal.We lost a healthy baby boy
*FET #3 (04/2014) was cancelled after finding Chronic Endometritis
Aww, that's so sweet
I said "after a long road of patience and prayers we are finally expecting a sibling for DD." Then I turned the attention on DD and her reactions. I think I have made all if three posts on FB and those are only big updates like announcing, ultra sound, and a doctor who related silly one. We found out in June.
June 2010- MFI. BS. IVF! Ectopic. BS.
November 2010- FAILED FET! BS!
January 2011- BFP FET! TWINS! February 2011- lost twin. BS.
SEPTEMBER 2011- DD Born! Most awesome girl in the world!
November 2013- FAILED FET! BS! (screw you November FETs)
April Fresh Cycle, FAILED. Frozen embryos frozen for future FETs.
FROZEN CYCLE JUNE! BFP
BABY BOY VINCENT!
