But I never did post a pregnancy announcement on FaceBook! It's funny the different things we IFers get superstitious about!

So we can all at least have fun with the guessing while we wait for 7 October.<br /><br />Telling the world is the fun part - for me it helped to get so much more excitement (if that was possible) out of the whole pregnancy. I also put it on Facebook, but then we had been so open on Facebook about our infertility journey that I knew most people (even fellow infertiles) would Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-87579164157684067932011-08-25T18:40:22.924-07:002011-08-25T18:40:22.924-07:00I voted boy and girl.

Although if people know you are a breast cancer survivor and know enough to realize the effects chemo has on egg reserve, they may assume you used donor eggs whether you mention it or not.<br /><br />I do think asking someone if she did fertility treatment is a pretty personal question, so I think anyone who wantsShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872513410814268769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-57839578840351866172011-08-25T08:31:42.575-07:002011-08-25T08:31:42.575-07:00I'm so jealous you got a prediction at your NT...I'm so jealous you got a prediction at your NT scan. My doc and technician wouldn't go that at all. Also, I had my "coming out" on Sat as we were hosting a party anyway, I was exactly 13 weeks and the NT scan was clean. <br /><br />We did have a couple of people ask.
