When to tell SO about a BFP?

No BFP yet, but I was talking with my bestie about this and was curious what others think or would do. We've been TTC for a year and a half, and I'm finally going to a fertility doctor to see what's going on. My SO has been down about us not getting a BFP yet, and even though I would want to tell him immediately in a cute way, I'm afraid of chemical pregnancy or miscarriage. so I'd probably wait until I've had blood work and everything to make sure my levels are where they are supposed to be. Just curious to what others have done or plan on doing once they get that beautiful yet elusive BFP. 🍀 ✨

I told him imediately, mostly because he notices I was more emotional than normal. Plus if I did have another miscarriage I would have his support. I like sharing the ups and downs with him, he's my best friend and my rock when I need one.

I think my SO would be able to tell pretty quickly too.

When I get my BFP I plan on telling him ASAP, I'll need his support and it's also his baby, so I think he should know about it when I do

I told my husband right away. We had a early mc in February and I'm so glad I wasn't alone during that time. He was there for me. I'm not the only one expecting a baby. Just my feelings on it. We are currently expecting again and I again, told him within minutes

I've been ttc for a while now too (almost 6 yrs). I've had 2 bfps (one that was a miscarriage and the other I believe was a chemical. I told my dh about the first miscarriage but didn't even mention the chemical to him.... So I've decided I'm not going to tell him until I confirm it with a dr. And when I do tell him I'd like to do something cute. I've always like the idea of telling him by giving him a fortune cookie with the fortune telling him he's going to be a father.

that's my plan at least. I just want that blood test, thankfully I can get into my Dr usually the next day so it won't be a long wait time lol or else I'd explode

Ya I hear ya... I hope i can at least get a blood test to confirm but once I get that positive confirmation I'm telling him lol.

that's kind of how I'm thinking. going through it alone scares me, but I'm just being cautious. I'll probably end up doing cartwheels out of the bathroom though lol

I found out a week ago... We have been trying for a year and a half... I found out by testing at work on that Wed.. My husband was outta town.. And last Thursday was our 2nd anniversary ... He surprised me by coming home that Thursday instead of Friday so I told him!!! He was so excited!! And being on the anniversary made it so much better... I don't go to my dr for my first visit til June 19th... No way I could have held it in til then!!
