I am ttc and got a POSSIBLE bfp today, but I am not jumping the gun. I have a couple of very close friends I will tell right away, but I will wait to really ANNOUNCE that I am pg to everyone else (family included) until at least my first doctor's appointment. Not to speak on a sore subject, one of my good friends conceived last winter. Before she even had her first doctor's appointment (scheduled about two weeks after her bfp and about 3 weeks after her missed period), she told EVERYONE! We were looking at Babies-r-us catalogues at work and she was picing out what she wanted the baby's room done in, what stroller she wanted, etc. We were even talking about when to throw the baby shower. She had a miscarriage by the first ultrasound (3 weeks after she announced to everyone she was pg). It took a few months before everyone at work caught on and people were coming up to her at work saying things like "wow, you are lucky to be staying so tiny!" and "when is the baby due?" It ripped open that wound again everytime. Because of that reason, I have decided to wait to tell everyone once I get my bfp. I may even wait until after my first trimester is over, because that is the most critical time during a pregnancy.

With my last pregnancy I told everyone within a few weeks because we were so excited. We had a missed miscarriage in November at 15 weeks. We are now 5 weeks pregnant again and have only told my best friend. We just want to keep it to ourselves for a little while. It's quite nice to have a little secret but I would imagine we tell people before the end of the first trimester.

Corvina, I really hope it wasnt an evap line!! Good luck testing on Monday morning (if you end up being able to wait that long!) I plan on waiting until Monday to test as well, but I have a feeling I might cave and do it tomorrow morning! LoL!! Lets hope it's a great month for both of us!!

My family knows, as does my BF (she is due in April, so it's great to have someone to Q&A), and we are telling DH's family next week, other than that, no one else until 13 weeks. Those are the only ppl I would want to have supporting me should anything go wrong. I'm private and I really don't want people fawning over me. It annoys me.
