I'M PREGNANT Y'ALL!!!!
This cycle we hit only -3, so I didn't get my hopes toooo high. I stopped temping after confirming O so I wouldn't obsess over my chart, but at 9DPO I decided to take my temp to see if it was still up. It was really high. My lower back has been sore, which usually happens before my period so I kept expecting to start spotting any day. Yesterday I decided if no spotting by this morning I would POAS, so I stopped at Publix to pick up a FRER. (Which even as a grown married TTC woman is fucking awkward.) I was so anxious to test this morning I kept waking up all night like "IS IT MORNING YET??"
So I wake up at 5am, creep out to get the test out of my purse & go in the guest bathroom. As I was opening the test I realized it wasn't an "early response" it was a "rapid response" which means result pops up quicker but you aren't supposed to test until your missed period. I was so determined not to get the new style I didn't pay attention. I said fuck it & dipped anyway. 2 LINES!! Pee stick, if you're into that sort of thing:
I did a private happy dance and casually walked back into my bedroom & got back in bed. Mr. Fire had woken up so he was talking to me & I grabbed my phone and was like "Hey, I think I'm going to order this shirt for M, what do you think? What colors?" and showed him this (spoiler because huge): It took him a few seconds to register & then he says "Wait, are you pregnant?" Uh, yesssss! "YAAAYYYY!" And then we cuddled & laughed & had sex & went back to sleep. I am so excited & so terrified.
I joined TB in November 2013, when we decided to TFAS. I never expected to connect with people or make the friendships I have. After two losses, some of the friends I've made here are the only thing that kept me sane. I am forever grateful. This has been a fucking journey, but I couldn't have picked a more awesome group to share it with. Thank you guys, for everything. I love y'all! I wish all of you the best of luck & hope to see so many more BFPs soon. July 16, here I come!
