Did/do you plan on waiting to announce you are PG next time around?
For DS we only waiting a few weeks but told everyone by week 8.
With the last BFP we waited to 5 weeks and told our family and friends. It was early but since I did not have any complications with DS, we announced even sooner only to get an early m/c just 1 week later.
I am torn on whether I will tell "everyone" next time. I felt it was really hard to talk about it when I "faced" people.
What did you do/will you do next time you are PG?
I was never one to not tell but a part of me don't want to tell later.

I'm pregnant again right now, but haven't told many people. Right now it looks like I will miscarry again, and I'm glad I have the support of both of our parents.

I had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago and had told a few people I was pg, and I posted it on here. I thought I was pregnant for a day and a half, and somehow my whole extended family found out. I will definitely not be telling anyone next time until much later.

I'm so sorry you are going through this again...
The first time, we never told anyone anything. Not even about losing the pregnancy.
After my first IVF, the only way we announced I was pregnant was by telling our family that I was going to miscarry.
My 2nd IVF, we were going to wait until we saw/heard the heartbeat to tell our parents and siblings, but then we found out we were having twins and told them (just the parents and siblings) just shy of 6 weeks. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when we saw 2 heartbeats, but then 2 weeks later we had to break the news that we lost one of them. Everyone else, (friends and extended family) we told between 14-16 weeks.
If I had to do it again, I would do it just the same as we did.

I told my mom & my best friend right away. Dh told his parents at about 8 weeks. We told more close friends & family after we heard the heartbeat at 10 weeks & everyone else after the sono between 11-12 weeks.

We told everyone at 6 weeks last time. This time will be hard not to tell people because we are pretty open about our IF struggles and people will know when my retrieval and transfer occur.

Re: Did/do you plan on waiting to announce you are PG next time around?
it's tough either way.
2nd time - we didn't tell anyone, but we're figured out by close friends/ immediate family by week 10 (it was the holidays and I was passing on the wine). followed up by a miscarriage.
This time, I can't decide if I'll tell.
I feel like - if it does happen again I'll want them to know.
On the other hand, I feel kind of stupid announcing a pregnancy, when I know how this tends to go for me(I know I shouldn't feel that way).
I only tell immediate family + 5 close friends. So, no more than 10 people know.

Never wanted to wait, but this time was hard. We told too many people at the 12 week mark and then the worse happened.
If there is a next one. I will still tell right away but only close friends and immediate family.

What did you do/will you do next time you are PG?
I probably won't be telling as many people IRL next time around.

Re: Did/do you plan on waiting to announce you are PG next time around?
We had just started to tell people the weekend before we found out I was probably going to miscarry. We hadn't told our parents yet (we live out of state and wanted to do it at Thanksgiving). I still ended up telling most family about the miscarriage because I wanted their support to get through it. When we get pregnant again, we will probably do the same (start telling people around 8 weeks, family as soon as we see them).
