I told DH over Skype that morning, knowing that I would never be able to wait for when he got home from the office. It was so hard because he never uses Skype, and hates video calling, so I had to come up with a stupid backstore about needed to test out the app on my phone to talk to a client later and then he forgot his login information. After what felt like forever we finally got to video chat and I showed him the test. It took him like 2 seconds to figure it out. He got this big stupid grin on his face, but he was in the office and couldn't say anything too obvious that would give it away. We got off the phone and he sent me an email telling me how excited he was and that he loves me :)

Awwwwwww, this is, like, the cutest thing ever. :')

My story is not fancy at all. I had gone hiking that morning and felt really winded and gagged when my cousin spit. So in my head I was thinking that I'm not pregnant, I'm going to start my period any second (it was late). So when I got home I figured I'd take a test 'to relieve my mind'. Well I took the test and the pregnant line showed up before the control line! So there was no doubt.

I went to my husband who had no idea that I was late or that I was taking a test. I was going to say 'you should probably sit down' but I said 'you should probably I'm pregnant'. He was shocked but very happy. I was the crybaby. Don't get me wrong, I wanted a 2nd baby, I just wanted to wait until my daughter was older. Because I'm scared! Lol

Lolllll @ "you should probably I'm pregnant. " you are too cute

Mine was nothing special. I took a test and didn't anticipate seeing anything since I was only 12dpo. When I saw the lines I went out to the living room and whispered, "I'm pregnant." I didn't want the girls to hear me and they were already running around.

[elebishi]

I'm not good at cutesy reveals either. I tested unbeknownst to DH. I thought it was a faulty FRER as I didn't see the window get 'wet' and saw no lines appear. I threw it away, pissed at the new crap FRERS. Pulled it out later, saw 2 lines clear as day. Took another real quick. Positive. So I called H into the bathroom. Showed him the stick and we gave each other a high five.

I bought a FRER on my way home from work cause I wanted to test that weekend. Ended up testing at like 8:30 pm that day. I brought food home for us and ran to the bathroom. Came back and said "uh.. I peed on a stick and look" he said "there's 2 lines?" "What does that mean?" "Uhh?" He was all teary eyed and asked more questions. Then he ate all my food while I stared in amazement at FRER.

I'm loving reading all the stories! I tested while my husband was still asleep he had surgery a few days before so he was resting. I smuggled the test down stairs and wrapped it up like a gift and had him open it (put the test in a plastic ziploc then wrapped it) we have been trying for a year with secondary infertility so he didn't believe me at first asked me whos test it was then got all excited! It was so sweet especially since last time he looked at the test for me haha

I was getting ready to take a shower, so we could go to see Frozen On Ice with Sweetie's folks. I felt super period-y, but I wanted to test just so that I could move on. I POAS, and puttering around. I came back and found the test on the counter saying "pregnant." So I numbly brought it to the living room for Sweetie to read. We stared. It was positive. She said, "oh crap, I'm not ready!" :-) (what did she think all that business with the frozen sperm was about?!)

[shanny]

I had tested a few days prior with a negative result (tried too soon) and had been telling DH day after day that I thought I was pregnant. I kept showing him my BBT chart and saying how my temps were matching what they did with the first pregnancy. He kept saying that I wasn't pregnant and would only believe me when the test suggested otherwise. I took it one morning and it came out faintly positive...I went back to bed, woke him up and told him...that was that. Haha. No huge surprises or fanfare here.

[misshart00]

We just moved and I was feeling very sick one day (2 days before my period). When we got home, I said I found some pregnancy tests in a box and maybe I should take one. I just took the test out to H and he was a little surprised it was positive. We're terribly exciting.

[happyin14]

We have a rule - I can only test with him. Well, I tested like 3 days earlier without telling him and it was negative. Which was surprising to me. But then tested on what should have been CD1 and got the positive.

He did a little dance. I cried because I sorted out the due date was close to the anniversary of losing Jack. I wish we had not tried this cycle, actually. But. I didn't figure that out ahead of time... It was a weird morning.

[hollyberry]

Nothing exciting here. He knew I was testing early or well before AF was due, but our RE said we could test that day. I wanted to do it early since we are heading to Canada for Christmas and wanted the dr to conferm it before I went. Anyway,I did the test and showed him and he asked what it ment, and I just said 2 lines means positive, he just smiles and we sat in silent shock for a few minutes. Then we got up and went about our day. Not exciting by any means, but since we have had 2 previous losses we just know this is just a first small step in the right direction.

[liljackjack]

I wasn't sweet at all this time.

I was going to wait to tell him. He works evenings. But that night I couldn't sleep so I called him and asked him if wanted to know the good news or the bad news.

He said "What's the good news"

I said "I'm pregnant"

"What's the bad news"

"I'm pregnant"

He laughed at me and told me he was smiling all night so it was all good!

I love reading all of these cute stories!! So we did an FET and MH really wanted me to go beta or bust. That would have been 14dp5dt and was never going to happen. I'd started to have some symptoms and decided to test last Saturday (10dp5dt) really early in the morning and two lines came up right away. I was seriously shocked and sat there for a while staring at it. I went in our room and woke MH up and handed him the test. He was at first really confused and then said "so this means your pregnant" and got a big smile on his face.

[fishchicks]

Hugs to you happyin14. I can only imagine how hard the reminder must be, but I wish you joy in your pregnancy.

My RE also does the first beta at 14dp5dt and I was also so determined to go beta or bust but I also caved at day 10 (Sunday) but for me it was in the evening and two lines came up right away. I was shocked and still attempted to wait until beta for the first number but ended up writing to them Monday about my positive and they told me to come in on Tuesday at 12dp for first beta instead. I was mad at myself for not sticking with beta or bust but I'm proud that I did actually wait 10 days

Took him 3 seconds to notice when he got home from work but a few minutes to understand.

Usually I just show him the test but wanted to do something fun this time.

[ameliabird]

Just realized I didnt do this yet.
So I had be cramping consistently since O and it was driving me crazy. At 8 dpo I decided I was going to test and get it put of my mind. I dipped a wondfo and saw nothing at first and thought "well thats it" and then slowly a very faint line started to show up. I used a dollar store cheapie too and saw maybe a line. I decided to hold my pee and go get a FRER and digi and when those popped up positive I squeed to myself lol. I pulled out the "Big Sister" shirt I had bought DD before Thanksgiving and put it on her. DH was late coming home and he didnt even see her shirt. I told DD to show him her new shirt and he sweetly said "Big Sister? Is that a real shirt?" I cried and said "yup thats a real shirt". It was totally cute.

The day I tested, I did it forst thing in the morning. I didn't tell my H that morning bc he had major meetings with C-level people at his agency all day and I didn't want to distract him. The meetings ran over, then he got stuck in horrific traffic. By the time he got home, I had been waiting 14 hours to tell him.

This would have been torture for me.

Considering it was a total surprise, it was absolute torture.
