How did you tell your S/O?

H has been working out of town for several months. We've been trying for 19 months and I had this big exciting way planned out. When I saw the line, with him being gone and me being in such shock, it all went out the window lol.

I sent him a pic of the test and asked if he saw the second line. He said no and asked if I saw one. Then the digi came up positive and I sent him a pic saying "We're fucking pregnant!!!" Very romantic haha

I had a meltdown the night before about TTC because spotting had started and I was sure my period would start the next day. We actually had a little tiff about it (he didn't want this to ruin our vacation, I couldn't control how I felt, yada yada) but ended on a good note with lots of hugs.

The next morning, the spotting had stopped so I tested with no hope of a positive, but I thought I saw something....

I walked out of the hotel bathroom and just stared at my husband with the test in my hand. "I think there's a line" was all I could get out. My husband jumped out of bed and looked and after discussion about if a faint line is still a positive we hugged and were incredulous for about an hour. Then we went back to vacation mode and sat by the pool for a few hours and enjoyed the sun

My husband had already gone to work when I first tested. I thought I saw a squinter on a wondfo so I got out my Walmart test. I didn't see anything on that test though.

I had plans to go shopping with a friend about an hour later and I was trying to decide what to do. I finally went to dollar general to get a frer, but they were out of ALL pregnancy tests. So I drove to the only other store around and they didn't have any tests either.

I didn't have enough time at this point to go to the nearest drug store and test before meeting my friend, so I just picked one up and saved it for later. I didn't get home to test until several hours later, but when I tested I got my positive!

My husband was still not home, so I just kept waiting. Finally he got home and I pretty much just shoved it in his face. Lots of hugging and crying then followed.

Wow that was long. Sorry.

I first tested with a wondfo Friday(10dpo) after work. I had spoken to my dad on one of my planning periods and that's when he told me about how bad off my aunt was. I was so upset so when I got home I tested hoping to see a silver lining after spending my day agonizing over the fact that my aunt is dying. And a faint line actually appeared on the wondfo. I must have starred at it for a good ten minutes before texting it to a friend asking if she could see a line. She gave me the thumbs up so I walked downstairs and called my H into the kitchen and asked if he saw it. He was unimpressed with the wondfo. He said he could see a little something but he clearly didn't buy into "a line is a line."

So Saturday morning I tested again and it was negative. There was what looked like an evap line, but otherwise the line from the night before was gone. I was so confused. I spent most of the day upset between the thing with my aunt and the conflicting test results. Finally H bought me two packs of FRERs and basically waited outside the bathroom door for me to test again. The second line came up on the FRER right away and was plenty dark enough. Lots of hugging and kissing and saying holy shit over and over.

I decided to test at 4pm on Friday, so my husband was still at work. I didn't think I was pregnant so really didn't expect it to be a BFP. Once I got the positive on the second test I sent DH a text to find out what time he would be home. I then prepared a little gift bag. I bought a onesie 6+ months ago that said "I love daddy" on it so I put that in there along with my sticks in a baggie.

When DH came in th door I acted completely normal and we talked for a few minutes. I handed him the bag and he joked about it. He thought I brought him snacks back from bookclub meeting. Once he grabbed the onesie he got confused for a second then looked at me, ran over, hugged, and kissed me. He couldn't believe it bc I told him we were out for the month earlier in the week. I showed him the tests in the bag and I think at that point it really set in.

Aw! I love these stories! I put my LO down for a nap and went to POAS before I started getting ready for my friend's wedding. I had felt ovulation cramps, knew our timing was good, and then had some crazy pains that must have been implantation cramping at 8ish DPO, so I was sort of expecting a positive this month, but it's still shocking to see it actually pop up.

I used a CB Digi because I had extra FSA dollars and bought a bunch of them. I was sitting there playing Candy Crush Soda and watching the little hourglass out of the corner of my eye. When I saw some words I looked and saw the Pregnant 1-2 and jumped up and started fist pumping!

Then I ran downstairs with the test. DH was on the patio with his mom and I totally interupted their conversation and said, Hey! Come here a minute! So he came inside with me and I showed him the test and we hugged and all that good stuff.

He was out of town for the weekend and was flying home. I sent him frantic texts to call me. I told him on the layover. LOL So romantic
