[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After years of infertility I also got pregnant via ivf.  I was also so scared during my pregnancy and I think it's totally normal because of what you have been through.  It does get better with each stage.  The end of the first tri brings huge relief as does the results of whatever prenatal testing you are having.  I know it's hard but hang in there. Infertility changed me in so many ways. It's such a major life thing that most people can never understand.  [/quote]

can I ask when you felt comfortable enough to tell people? I know 12 weeks is generally that point for normal people. Although, as I mentioned, my cousin and friend told everyone at 6 weeks. We've told our parents at 8 weeks. I want to tell my brother and SOL but am too scared still.

I can't wait to get through the first trimester just so i can (hopefully) feel some relief.

thanks[/quote]

We told my parents right away because they knew about the IVF (nobody else knew).  I had to tell my boss earlier than I wanted because I had a bleeding scare and stayed home from work for a number of days.  That was around 10 weeks.  At my 13 week appointment after the NT scan my OB said there was less than a 1 percent chance of miscarriage.  This made us comfortable enough to start telling people.  DH's parents first then siblings, etc.  I wasn't in a rush so after immediate family it took a while for me to tell others.  I hope you are able to enjoy everything soon.  I can tell you that when I had the bleeding scare I was SO glad that nobody but my parents knew.[/quote]
