Positive, yay!

Just found out I'm pregnant again :)
It's soooo hard to keep such a big secret! Are you all waiting until 12 weeks to announce? x

I just found out yest & today I'm 4 weeks! This is baby #2. I had to tell hubby on tango (where I can see his reaction) b/c he is out of town for 2 weeks. We plan on waiting the 12 weeks (Jan 2012), but IDK how I'm going to be able to contain my excitement over the holidays!

I'm 5w 2d along and so far I have told best friends and my Mom and step dad..,. Oh and DH blurted it to his 2 grandma's at dinner! Totally unexpected, he's excited! LOL
Otherwise, we are waiting until Christmas when I will be 12 weeks and hopefully have had an ultrasound by then! Then we will tell everyone else and the Facebook world!

I had an U/S at 7 weeks and the dr told me that there was no difference in then to 12 weeks.  But we still decided to wait until the 3 months.  We did tell our parents and some close family members but we didn't tell anyone else until after the 12 wk U/S.    I think it all just depends on what you are comfortable with.  

A friend of mine told some people early and then she lost the baby.  it's harder to tell everyone and then have to go back and tell them that something has happened.   The risk after 12 wks is so much lower that the next time she waited... her daughter is now almost 3.

My Last pregnancy (nov 2010) i found out at 5wk, We said we would keep it a secret until we knew everything was ok as id had 1 previous m/c and 2 ectopics, i figured if i didnt tell anyone but dropped hints they would guess when they didnt i was like ok ok IM PREGNANT lol i couldnt keep it in haha. Unfortunatly after my scan at 5wk6d i had another m/c but i wouldnt hesitate in telling my family and close friends again!
Infact yest i completed my IVF cycle and had my egg transfer we had 2 embys implanted one 8 cell one 9 cell now my family and close friends are waiting by the fone for me to call haha!! Its now a longggg wait until the 22nd Nov to see if we have atleast one sticky bean :-))

congrats. We found out at 3-4 weeks and only told my mum. We told everyone's else after a scan at 8w. Due to miscarriage a few months before I didn't want to say anything until I had seen he was ok. Hope all goes well for you.

We told our family and close friends right after we found out, but they all knew what we had gone through to get to that point so I felt they should be included. But everyone else we started telling at around 12-13 weeks.

Congrats!! I told my best friend the next morning because she was my support person throughout my ttc journey. And we told our parents at like 5 1/2-6 weeks because we just were so excited! Use your best judgement and whatever you feel comfortable doing. If you feel people will support you if something happens, go for it!

I agree keeping this secret is really hard i don't know how some people can keep it for months on in. I told a handful of people but I am not telling my 6 year old child until i'm 12 week due to already having complications. :/

I told at 8 or 9 wks, except for close family we told them a few days after we found out!

LOL well I am going crazy trying to keep it all quiet till a doctor visit and at least 8 weeks or so. Seem like the whole world wants to know if I'm pregnant, and we aren't ready to discuss it yet. A close friend and my parents figured it out though -- and are sworn to secrecy.

After two and a half years of fertility treatment we decided to tell our friends and family. Alot of our support came from these people and we wanted to share the news of our blessing.
