At least, on FB, anyways. A lot of people were pretty surprised when I announced the birth of our twins!<br /> As for family/friends, I didn't do much except for my dad and brother, who opened up t-shirts on Christmas Eve that said Grandpa and Uncle. That was fun! Oh, and I have my grandparents a framed ultrasound photo as their Hannukah gift to tell them and they totally didn't get it- Grandpa 'What is it?' Grandma 'It's a picture frame, how nice.' Hahahaha, old people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-after-if#post-1556799 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:26:58 +0000 pui 1556799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I announced to close friends and family in person. At 13 weeks I announced on FB.</p> <p>I didn't mention anything about the trouble we had, but I plan to post something short along with some links to resources on April 27th. I don't want to draw a lot of attention to me, but I do want to raise awareness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-after-if#post-1556786 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 14:24:59 +0000 Caly 1556786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mentioned it when I announced it on FB. Can't remember the exact phrasing but I said something along the lines that after struggling for over 4.5yrs we are thrilled (and slightly sceerd) to be expecting twins. I also made mention to the tons of shots, tests, fun procedures, m/c and a couple surgeries along the way. Most of our friends were aware of our struggles, so, they were very excited for us. I also mentioned our issues because if someone else is going through the same thing and wants to reach our for support, I want them to know they're not alone.</p> <p>eta: family &amp; close friends were told in person and while they knew we were doing ivf at some point, didn't know when so they were suprised when we announced we were expecting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-announce-your-pregnancy-after-if#post-1556536 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 13:25:52 +0000 BSB 1556536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious.</p> <p>I have some ideas in my head, but not going to think too much of it until I finally get a BFP. </p> <p>Did you mention IF in your announcement? </p>
