TW - making a pregnancy announcement with subtle nod to infertility

I'm nearly 12 weeks pregnant following our first IVF cycle, after 2 years of TTC naturally.

I feel comfortable enough now to start thinking about making our announcement on social media. Close family and friends already know. I've also given friends who I know are also on the ttc journey the heads up (but I'm aware some, like I did, might be suffering in silence).

I'm only really posting on social media to tell more distant family and friends - I don't have a lot of followers (and my pages are private) but still there are still people I want to know and I feel like I deserve to be able to make an announcement after our difficult journey.

I don't want everyone to know the ins and outs (literally!) of our treatment but I do want to subtly hint that we had difficulties, just to give hope to people who are still on the ttc journey and also to raise a little glimmer of awareness that not everyone conceives easily.

I was thinking of something simple like "our little miracle due this November" but just wondering if anyone has any other ideas or quotes I could use etc.

Thank you x

We used a onsies with the words 'made with love & a little bit of science'

This might not be very subtle though. Perhaps saying 'worth the wait' somewhere in the announcement?

I tended to say to people that it was a journey to have our little one, implies not easy/long time but doesnt say why or what.

Be warned some people will straight up ask!
