I have a good relationship with my direct boss, so she knew as soon as I was pregnant. But I officially filed my disability case around 20 weeks.

Informed my manager at 17 weeks pregnant. Filed my leave claim at week 24.

I let my immediate team know early (~12 weeks) so they’d understand what I was going through, but I only formally let my employer know after the anatomy scan around 20 weeks

14 weeks

Told my boss at 18w. With my first I was in a super toxic environment and shared the news with my manager at 26w, which I don't really recommend, but his response and subsequent actions definitely made me glad I waited!

I informed my managers when I could no longer hide my belly. It was around 24 weeks. Would’ve been slightly sooner, but between me and both of them taking 2 wk vacations back to back, I had to hold out and get very creative with work outfits until the 3 of us were all in the office at the same time.

Trying to have faith but my recent cycle netted 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and only 2 made it to day 5 for testing. There were 3 others that just didn’t mature. This is my third cycle and I’ve been pretty positive up until today. It’s especially hard to get this news in the middle of a work day. Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢

And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.
