First U/S on Tuesday
We told our immediate families that we're pregnant, I know it's a bit early, I haven't even had my 1st ultrasound and who knows what will happen, but I felt it was very important to be able to tell our parents and siblings. I am concerned and have no idea how this will turn out, and it was important to me to be able to say "we're pregnant!" and not say it past tense, that we were. I feel like this is my only chance to make this announcement, since if something doesn't work out, this was our last attempt at TTC with IVF. I know this might sound silly, and some of you might think it was too early, but we're only telling them and nobody else and again, I felt this need to tell them now while I know I'm pregnant. And speaking of, I have been ridiculously tired the last few days, an exhaustion I've never known. That and very moody. I am hoping these are good signs that the little bean is growing :) My 1st ultrasound is on Tuesday and my new concern is that this could be ectopic. Of course I have no reason to think this, but I was reading some stuff online (I know, I know, huge mistake) and the chance of ectopic with IVF is much higher. I am just worried what they will find or not find on Tuesday, but I'm really glad to be having an u/s finally and knowing what's going on. I am trying to stay positive, I know its out of my control for now and I'm actually way too tired to even think clearly or not right now! I guess it's just so very hard to not be worried, aside from the obvious, this was our last try so I feel like I have soooo much riding on this.
Hope you all had a good weekend and are well no matter where you are on this journey. Please say a prayer and send some good vibes that all goes well on Tuesday! Love to all xoxoxo

Oh I just keep thinking of you and really hope things look great on u/s. I understand the need to tell a selected few. I feel the same way. I just know it won\'t be for nothing. Try to stay positive. Everything looks good so far. Being exausted is a great sign.
I can\'t wait for tuesday.
Big hugs !
The way you describe the importance of telling your close family so that you could happily and officially say, \"We\'re pregnant\", I think that is such a great way to embrace and celebrate your news.
It is important to tell people because it\'s a great support system. Plus, there is nothing quite like being able to say those words. I remember, after my betas, I went home and finally POAS just because I wanted to see the words \"pregnant\" while I knew I could. Stay positive and yes, being exhausted is a good sign! Your body is working double time...making more blood, getting more vitamins, etc. You\'re doing a lot to grow that bean!!!
I can\'t tell you enough how much I support your decision to embrace your pregnancy and your news and to share it. I don\'t think it\'s too early at all. Not after the journey you have had leading up to this precious little one. Hurray for exhaustion :) I know how hard it is not to worry and generate new concerns. Thinking of you and hoping for really good news on Tuesday :)))
From someone who has had an ectopic before.... You would know it! I\'m pretty sure chopping off my foot would be less painful. I\'m a quiet don\'t make a scene kind of person and I was screaming and swearing in the urgent care like a lunatic. I\'m sure you are just fine :) It\'s great that you told close family/friends and can have a support system through good and bad.
Good luck tomorrow! Tired is a good sign! I understand what you mean about feeling like it is too early to tell and also wanting to acknowledge it in case it goes wrong... nothing wrong in celebrating today, its a happy day! I figure if something goes wrong, the people who know are the ones who are going to help me get through it :) Thinking of you tomorrow :)
Good luck with your U/S tomorrow and congrats on telling people! I would do the same thing - you did the right thing. You are pregnant and you deserve your moment :)
I\'m just like you, always googling and looking at the worst case scenarios. It\'s the IF curse. I totally get wanting to tell people. I\'d probably tell everyone who would listed. I\'m so excited for your ultrasound tomorrow. Praying for you right now! xoxo
So excited to hear the news tomorrow!! I totally agree with telling a select few. But make sure you only tell the ones that you\'d be comfortable telling if anything happened. Everything is going to work out great, and I hate to be a debbie downer, I just know how shitty I felt telling everybody about my IVF and then having to tell everybody and their mothers about it not working. Your family will LOVE to hear your news and will hopefully be the best support system ever!!
I am thinking of you and sending prayers up that all is well with your lil bean. I can totally understand your worry and concern, hang in there momma! XOXO
I\'m really glad you told your family. It\'s okay that it\'s early, share the news with anyone you feel like sharing it to. It\'s such an exciting time. Keep offline too missy! LOL
Good luck tomorrow, I just know you are going to get wonderful news!
How exciting!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you!
I hope everything looks great and \"text book\" tomorrow! There are no \"rules\" on how and to whom you share your good news, but I totally agree with Nellysgirl and only share with the people that you would also tell if something went wrong, that is good advice! You will be in my thoughts tomorrow! XO
Good luck today!
