When you first found out, who did you tell first?
I had to share with someone, so I told some friends on WB first since DH wouldn't be home until the next day and I wanted to tell him in person.

I wouldn't tell anyone before my husband-- and I purposely don't test unless he is around. He rarely travels for work, so its easy enough.
After that, I am sure I will call my older sister within a few hours.

My husband was the one who read the results to me because I was too nervous to look at the test stick. I didnt tell anyone until 11 weeks when I told my mom

My husband was right there with me when we got our first BFP! It was hard to contain ourselves but we waited until almost 8 weeks to tell anyone else. My parents first then my in-laws.

First post here... =) When I got my BFP, I casually told my husband that I thought I saw something on the stick, but I figured it was my mind playing tricks on me and was rushing to work. My husband laughed it off...then I thought about it, and it clicked on my way to work, "Lines don't appear for no reason....I know I saw one." My coworker (I work at a hospital) knew we had been trying and thought I was being weird that day. She insisted that I pee in a cup. She ran the test, came back and said it was negative. As she was saying it, I went back into the lab and saw a line...I came back out and was like, "No, you gotta look at this." She flipped! She said, "Congrats, mama!" Not thinking about wanting to tell my husband in a cute way, I sent him a picture of the test by SMS. Really? Then I told my boss (we are very close), called my best friend, and that was it =) Sadly, it ended in early miscarriage. But we are back TTC =)

This is funny- DH works offshore, he was away and I have to wait for him to call on a satellite phone. So the first person I told was Elley:). I think I emailed her like, "Holy crap! 3 in a row! This is impossible!". I had back to back CPs in Jan & Feb, and then somehow got pg with this healthy little girl in March:)

I first emailed DH a photo of a barely there BFP. And then told my coworker the next day because I needed a second opinion. DH was on a plane to Australia so technically I told my coworker first.

I told DH first and then I told SIL. We're really close and she was the only family member who knew about our prior micarriage, so it was important to me to share that with her.

@jholler25: I saw that you'd replied to this thread and was wondering if you'd say that you told me first! We were FREAKING out. I'm so glad that GG is healthy!
