Cycle/Month: 11/10
DPO: 14DPO
What we did: We had sex on days +1, -1, -2, -4.
I tested at 10DPO and got a BFN. I really thought I was out because I had a little brown spotting on 11 and 12DPO. I have been super emotional and having tons of acne so I assumed my period was on its way. I didn't have any spotting yesterday or today but noticed I was really having hot flashes at my bookclub meeting. I still really didn't think much of it but was sitting here saying to myself you know you are going to South Africa next week you can buy more tests so why don't you just go waste one so you can drink tonight. I immediately flipped out when the second line showed up pretty quickly. Not wanting to get overly excited I took another test and it says pregnant 1-2 weeks. My husband is at work right now so I prepared a little gift bag for him that has a onesie in it. I am still freaking out right now and am shaking but had to write this now because I have no one to tell. My sister wouldn't answer her phone!!! So sorry for rambling or my grammatical errors, I'm still in shock. Husband is going to freak out too because I already told him we were out this month.
EDD: December 4, 2015
I joined the other place in September and immediately felt a connection to people over there but moving to this place has been even better. Being an expat can be very lonely and I always felt like I had a place to come to for venting, laughing, sharing, and supporting other women. I sincerely appreciate all of the knowledge I have gained and all of the hugs/support I have received for various things. Good luck to all of you!! (ps I hope it's okay to stick around here)
Update: I kept my cool when husband walked in the door. I waited a few minutes then handed him the bag. It took him a minute to understand what the onsie was about but then he ran over, grabbed me, gave me a big hug and kiss, then started freaking out a little. I! Of course, was crying the whole time. I showed him the tests and I think that really hit him the hardest. It still doesn't feel real.
