Nope, he was with me when I was testing, so he was the first to know. I also told a few friends and most of our family before HB! I'll do that next time too.

I was on WB when I found out and I think I told DH first but now I can't remember haha! I will tell DH before Hellobee though

The first time (m/c), I told the POAS thread first because I wanted to tell DH in person. It was actually almost a year ago, the Friday before Father's Day. I bought him a card and told him that night.
This time, I was too excited that I threw on the lights the minute I saw the line and shoved the test in his face at 5:30 am. I had taken a hiatus from HB because the m/c and the 7 extra cycles it took to get pregnant afterwards made it difficult. But that night, I came back!

HB knew first because DH had just left for Australia when I tested. I couldn't talk to him for a day and a half. My first test was a major squinter and I needed other eyes and didn't want anyone IRL to know we were pregnant before DH.

I was already pregnant when I joined HB but DH was the first one to know. My co-workers knew before my immediate family because I retested on my lunch break and couldn't keep it a secret.
DH will always be the first person to know.

He had gone to work and I work from home. I posted my MAYBE positive to the POAS board freaking out... and then someone said to use a digi with 2nd morning urine and she was right that still worked, it said pregnant! I was under a "secret" username then though so I don't think anyone really except a few people knew who I really am, and even then by the time they saw, DH knew Still, he's a chef so I couldn't call him! I had to wait for him to get home, it was agonizing. Glad I had HB to tell!

DH knew as soon as I thought I saw pink on my HPT! HB knew after I called my mom and sisters

Hubs knew right away. I stuck that pee stick right in his face!

Nope, I don't think I announced to HB until eight weeks? or maybe twelve?

DH knew right away, I always tell him everything and always share the results of pregnancy tests!

Yeah... HB knew first both times!! But to be fair (here's my excuse!!), I wanted to tell him in person but he was at work... and I was bursting to share....!! *shame face*

No, he was right there when I found out about my second pregnancy!

DH knew first. I got up super early to test-- who can sleep when you have to take a pregnancy test with FMU? So he knew what I was doing. The first day I had 3 major squinters-- super faint, but THREE of them, so I was pretty sure it was the real deal, and I made him come in and look at them. The next day I got a clear positive and got back into bed and told him. You all found out a few hours later. I didn't tell another soul for 3 days, most of my family didn't know until around 8 or 9 weeks.

I told DH first, but was also charting with FF, one of the girls totally saw my BFP before I told DH. LOL I updated FF before telling him. WHAT A NERD.

My sister was at the house with me (DH at work) so she knew first. Then I frantically texted @turtledoves and then posted on HB lol. DH found out a couple of hours later when he got home. This is for #2.
For #1 DH was with me when I tested so he knew first. Same for my 2 pregnancies that ended in MC.

DH knew right away. I woke him up and put a stick in his face to make sure that I wasn't imagining it. When he saw a line, he thought they had to be much darker and claimed that I wasn't PG. He bought a digital and it said "Not Pregnant". I took my other tests to HB to convince him that I was!!

DH knew before anyone the first time because I didn't know about HB but this time HB knew hours before he did!!
watermelon / 14206 posts
I didn't join HB until I was about 4 months along.
Next time, unless DH isn't here, I'll tell him first. If he's working or something, I'm going to want to wait until I can tell him to his face, so I'll probably be bursting if I don't spill the beans here, lol.

I was so shocked, I didn't even have a chance to think of a clever way to show DH. I just walked out of the bathroom with the test, and a extremely goofy grin on my face. HB found out later that week.

I joined Hb because I wanted to talk about it but bc of DH's job having a big career make or break thing that week I couldn't tell him for a few days!

You guys knew first. I needed someone else to tell me that it was actually a line and I wasn't seeing things.

Nope he found out at 5am, about 5 minutes after me. I didn't join HB until a few days later. He did find out before WB, though.

DH was with me last time so he knew before WB... this time I want to surprise him though!

HB knew first. DH had gone to work a couple hours earlier and I was in total shock when I tested and got a positive. It's kind a blur now, but that morning I started posting pics to the IF board, posted to a HB-ers wall, and started a thread on how I could possibly keep a secret all day - obviously not my strong suit. I REALLY wanted to tell someone in real life, but forced myself to wait until I could meet DH for lunch. I figured he should be the first to know, but that internet people don't count. He was fine with it, lol.

He was home when I tested and I screamed so he knew first. This time, I make no promises that I'll wait for him or even tell him first! lol!
hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts
I can't remember! I know it was a squinter and I remember posting here for proof, so I think I must've asked here before telling him. But when I got the positive digital test the next am, I told him within minutes cause he was home.

oh come on, i needed confirmation of what i was seeing! and we were both at work and i really wanted to tell him in person since we were not expecting it to happen that month! SO i had to rely on the bee to verify my first and second POAS attempts of the day, and i finally told DH at about 8pm that night when we came home. You guys knew for the whole day before him

He knew first he was at work so I called him which he know I won't do unless it was important and then I posted to HB

I was pg before joining HB the first time, but this time I told HB first! I tested on a whim while DH was at work and wanted to tell him in person

I actually have some friends who knew before DH did. I took a test and called him numerous times, but he was in a dr's appt and couldn't answer the phone. I was freaking out (i wasn't supposed to be pregnant because I wasn't taking my medication! We were taking an effing break!). So i did the "OMG FREAK OUT" to some friends first.

No, HB didn't exist yet. I had to wait 5 minutes for my husband to get out of the shower to tell him, that just about killed me!
Next time around I'll definitely tell HB early, but my husband is always going to find out first!

I posted in the POAS thread first because I wasn't expected a BFP and DH wasn't home. It was a cheapy and kind of faint...the ladies convinced me to take a digi and it was positive! DH found out pretty soon after that

I was on WB for my first and HB for this pregnancy. DH knew first for both!

HB didn't exist yet when I found out, but a couple of my WB friends knew a whole day before DH because I was waiting to see him in person, but I had to tell someone lol.
