in Pregnant after IF
We didn't do the genetic screening before this FET. I will be able to take the after 10 week diagnostic blood test and feel strongly that I don't want to tell our daughter (almost 3 years old) about a sibling until we get results in case things aren't okay. But I am also struggling to keep quiet because I am excited, I know my parents will be excited, and I am curious to see our daughter's reaction. 

My understanding from the other thread is that many of you were waiting to tell but is anyone else struggling to keep the secret? I just feel so sick and am not myself at all. I would like to be able to explain why I look like a sweatier half dead version of myself that doesn't want to make plans that involve getting out of bed.

    I struggled with it on and off, and it was hard to keep secret b/c I was really sick weeks 6-9 (still am, but not quite as bad).  Most people who asked knew about our IVF, and I would say that initial tests looked good, but we wouldn't know for sure for a few more weeks.  

    It's amazing how little (even people who have had kids) don't know or remember about the pregnancy process and were satisfied with that explanation.  Even my own mother three weeks ago asked, "Oh, so you are for sure pregnant now?"  Granted, I don't know if that would work for you...but vague answers were a way for me to kinda tell people without officially telling, if that makes sense.


    Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility
    IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN
    IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!!
    Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545  -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!
