I'm pregnant!!! I thought I was out because the last time I got a BFP, my temps were sky-high. This time they are staying in my standard post-O range. On a whim, I tested Thursday morning with a wondfo, and thought I saw a shadow of a line. I convinced myself I was being crazy, and left the test on the counter. A few hours later, I saw there was an unquestionable line, so I took another test, and the second line popped right up. I confirmed on Friday with a FRER. I'm so excited and nervous and terrified and happy.
Cycle/Month: 12 (3 AL)
CD/DPO: tested at 33/13
Timing: -4,-2, 0
What we did: EOD Sex, pineapple core, 30 Day Abs Challenge
EDD: February 19, 2016
Symptoms: Fatigue and occasional back pain
How I Told MH (and parents): I didn't mention testing first thing in the morning because I thought it was negative. Once I knew it was positive, I waited (impatiently) all day for DH to get home from work so I could tell him. My mom and her husband are also visiting us right now, but I didn't want to tell anybody until I told I told DH first.
About the time I expected DH home, I got the type of phone call that everybody dreads: "There has been an accident." We are so grateful and lucky that except for airbag burns on his face and arms, and a seat-belt shaped bruise across his torso, DH is ok. (Car is totaled). He was only two blocks from our house so I went to the accident scene and helped deal with the police, insurance and tow truck. Once that was handled, we moved ahead with what we already had planned for the evening with my parents. Finally as we were going to bed, I got a moment alone with DH to tell him. We both immediately started crying (for about the fourth time that evening).
We told my parents and DH's parents last night over dinner. My mom lives on the opposite coast, and I got my first BFP that last time I saw her. Apparently if I want to get pregnant, I just need to plan a visit with my mom.
The Mushy Stuff: Thank you all! I don't know what I would do without you ladies here to encourage me, commiserate with me, understand me. Thank you for teaching me things I didn't even know that I didn't know. Thank you for being my community when I struggled with how long it took to get a BFP, and then especially after my loss. I hope I don't have to come back here, but I will be lurking because I can't quit you. Hope to see you all in Feb 16!
