He was out of town for work on Friday night, and I tested on Saturday morning (because everyone in the POAS thread said I should! :silly: ). I spent all day bouncing around the house, taking additional tests, and decorating a onesie to use to tell him. He came home in a terrible mood, ranting about the trip, and I didn't get to tell him until almost midnight. I posted on the POAS thread the next day, and then didn't tell anyone else for over a month. sunny on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-2454242 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 22:02:32 +0000 sunny 2454242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes!

I was in disbelief. stiletto_mom on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-2454232 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 21:54:44 +0000 stiletto_mom 2454232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I said yes even though I technically told The Bee first by posting my test. He was the first person I told in real life. I told him the night of.

Second time, the line was such a super squinter I text a dear friend to ask her opinion on if it was there or I was imagining it (my beta came back at a 7 later that day, so it was REALLY early. FRER FTW!) Both ended in miscarriage, so I guess I'm an even split. Next time will be the tie breaker for who I tell first! ldh112 on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-2433912 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 21:58:04 +0000 ldh112 2433912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No- I took a FRER when I got home from work and when I saw a faint line I was in so much shock I sent it to two friends to confirm. :) As soon as he got home that day I told him! I didn't want to do it over text/phone.

We had only been trying for one month and neither of us really thought it would happen that quickly. I had to go to my second job still in shock and told my good friend when I got there. So my coworker was the first person I actually said it out loud to, hubby was first person I told but it was via text.

I had to text a pic to a friend to make sure I was seeing it right! I told him right after that though. meganmp on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-2431457 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:15:17 +0000 meganmp 2431457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hell yes he was.

First person was a friend (who is a doctor) who was visiting, bc I saw a line and was in disbelief, but she didn't see it. I also posted a picture to HB for an opinion (and you all saw it). In fairness, I had so much spotting that I thought it was a chemical, and wanted to wait until she left so I could explain to my husband what had happened in private. I then told him the next morning in a super cute way after my friend left and I had a BFP on a digital and felt like it might stick. When I went to the doc the next day for a blood test and got the good news that it was really a positive, I called him right away! Next time he'll know first! ms.line on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-2431297 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:08:19 +0000 ms.line 2431297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The first person I told was the nurse at my RE's office so I could schedule a beta. I told my husband next, when we both got home from work - I still feel a bit guilty he wasn't the first! californiadreams on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-2431287 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:06:45 +0000 californiadreams 2431287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i told my son first (who was like 2.5 years old), then i told HB, then my husband that night when he got home from work.

I actually found out on a Friday and didn't tell him until Sunday! He was working a lot that weekend and I didn't want to tell him and then him have to leave right away. So I waited until Sunday so that we could spend the day together.

HB was the first to know. autumnlove on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-2431252 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:54:19 +0000 autumnlove 2431252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Only with LO 2! ineebee on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant/page/2#post-2431197 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:26:39 +0000 ineebee 2431197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, he was with me when I tested.

My mom was a close second, cause I told her like 5 minutes later every time. I'm the worst at keeping this stuff a surprise.

Then, I was at lunch with my husband and best friend when the dr called and gave my very high beta #'s.

The others I waited till I was sure (got some super squinters early on), so I told my best friend and HB.

I purposely would only test when he was home. DD2 no, I posted here first. We weren't TTC and I took an expired test just in case, and it came back positive. So then I posted here to see if expired tests give false positives (spoiler- nope). He had gone in to sleep with the toddler when she woke up super early. regberadaisy on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant#post-2430902 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 12:18:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2430902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Definitely yes for the first but I can't remember with no 2 if I told him first or the mom group? ;) erinbaderin on "Was your spouse the first person you told when you found out you were pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-spouse-the-first-person-you-told-when-you-found-out-you-were-pregnant#post-2430885 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 12:09:24 +0000 erinbaderin 2430885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, yes, no. The first time we'd been TTC for 3 years, done 4 IUIs and an IVF, and were in kind of a holding phase. I was a day late so I tested at work because in my experience, the best way to make your period show up is to spend $10 on a pregnancy test. When it came up positive I think my heart stopped. I wanted to tell my husband in person (actually, it was also our anniversary) but I couldn't not tell ANYBODY, so I texted a picture of the test to a friend who called me immediately, from California, screaming. (this one ended in a miscarriage) Second positive was our second round of IVF. My beta was going to be on Monday so I'd decided to test on Sunday morning so I'd know ahead of time (my clinic did a beta two full weeks after a 5 day transfer, so I figured I'd get a real answer either way). Woke up at 2am and just lay there stressing about it, decided just to test to stop thinking about it, and it was positive! I woke my husband up to tell him and he mumbled "Oh, good" and went back to sleep. He told me later that he thought I'd just dreamed I was pregnant. I woke him up for real and he was excited, but then we were too excited to sleep so we stayed up for two hours in the middle of the night watching New Girl reruns trying to calm down. With this pregnancy, we had just started having the "should we have another one?" talk, figuring it was a moo point because the first one had taken five years and two rounds of IVF. He didn't really have any idea of what my cycles were doing, but when I was two days late I decided to test, again at work, just to see (I usually test at work because I don't keep tests around because the temptation to pee on them is irresistible, so I just buy one on the way to work.) When it was positive I wanted to find a cute way to tell him so I texted my friend to ask if she could make me an iron-on tshirt about being a big brother for my son to wear. Then when my husband got home from work I sent our toddler down the hall to greet him wearing the tshirt and holding the positive test (well...he was holding it. He got distracted halfway there and threw it down the stairs). This turned into a novel!
