Jen we are only telling immdediate family until after our first ultrasound. Originally we weren't going to tell anyone at all but then I thought that if we lose this baby too, it would be nice to have the support of our parents and siblings to help get us through it.
Miscarriage rates

Dr. Q,
I know a while back on a post you stated m/c rates after seeing the fetal heart beat. I can't find those posts and I'm really curious. Our plan is to not tell too many people about the pregnancy until after our 1st u/s. I want to feel pretty confident that it will "stick" before we broadcast the news to everyone (although a part of me would like to tell the world now!). Thanks!
What are your thoughts everyone on when to tell people your good news??

Here are some of those rates again as an approximation, and miscarriage rates are dependent on age as they increase signficantly after the age of 37.
positive hpt 10-15%
fetal heart activity at 6 wks 6-8%
fetal heart activity at 8 wks 2-3%
