Cycle/Month: 3rd cycle trying since it resumed (4th cycle PP), 6 months since we started TFAS
CD/DPO: 29/13 (possibly 12)
Timing: Low per FF... -3 or -4 only
What we did: BBT, CM, CP, lots of water, some pom juice, PNVs, B complex, D3
EDD: January 7th, 2016 by LMP (8th or 9th by O date)
Symptoms: As with DD, I was extremely tired/sleepy on Sunday, which would have been about 8-9 DPO both times. Other than that, no real symptoms at this point. It's early.
How I Told MH: Full disclosure, I tested Tuesday (10/11DPO) – against my better judgment. FF pressured me, okay?! It kept saying, "You can test NOW!" I decided to use a Wondfo and get a BFN out of the way. So I did. Then I looked again and thought...is that a line? Since I like to pee on my money, I pulled out a FRER. There was a faint, but clear pink line at the 3 minute mark.
H had already left for work, so I kept my news to tell in person. I picked up an "I'm a Big Sister" book for DD and scooted home from work early. I put the book, the stick, and a chilled bottle of Moët we'd been saving for a special occasion on the island. (Side-eye if you must, but yes I had a glass. At 3 weeks +some days pregnant, I was not concerned about one glass to celebrate.)
When he came in, he was like, "What's this? No you aren't... Really?!" He was surprised given our "poor" timing, and then we both had an, oh shit we're having another baby moment, but obviously we are super happy & thrilled. We have to laugh that despite all our planning, I O'd earlier this month and we could very well end up with another December baby.
I confirmed with a digital and darkening lines on FRER yesterday & today, so I'm officially ready to call it!
The Mushy Stuff: Where do I begin. I found my way back to TD after a long hiatus. I left mid-pregnancy with DD for reasons and was just on a FB BMB after that. I showed up on TTGP with some not-so-great advice and was very (over)eager... thinking it would happen right away. I was wrong, of course, and my body was all kinds of different postpartum and still breastfeeding. I know I made some mistakes over there; I had some rough days. I almost didn't make the switch over here... but I am so glad I did.
THANK YOU, really, truly, and honestly from the bottom of my heart (as cheesy as it sounds) to those who gave me a second chance and let me grow to be a part of this community. I have laughed and cried here. I don't know what I would have done the last few months without this place. I have formed friendships that mean very much to me. I won't name names, but I hope you know who you are.
For your humor, your knowledge, your snark, your realism, your compassion, and all that each of you gives to each other and this place, thank you. I hope to get to spend more time with some of you (well, ALL of you, but I'll take whoever I can get) over on J'16 ... and you know I'll be lurking!
And Now for the Pee Sticks! (if you're into that)
Oh also!! Here's a little humor and someecards for your time!
and how I feel now...
