It's been a month shy of a year from when DH and I decided we weren't going to be One and Done anymore. I started posting on GKU pretty much the day after we had that talk.
The majority of my stay here I've done this in WTDS.
Then in October we were cleared to try and I did this.
Then a sinus infection threw a wrench in things and screwed up my cycle.
We didn't count that as month 1 because everything was so messed up with my body. Then in December we found out my thyroid levels were way off and had to stop trying right before my predicted FW.
We waited the rest of that cycle and one more cycle for my new dose to work and get my levels tested. I got new doctors
and we were cleared to try again
Which brings me to this...
Cycle/Month: 1
CD/DPO: 25/13
EDD: 10/31 based on LMP 10/28 based on O
What we did: lots and lots of waiting, and then tried for a month, waited some more (thanks thyroid), then tried again. BD on O with early ovulation (CD 12, the very first predicted day in my FW, earliest O in 10 months of charting).
Symptoms: I've been having gas every morning when I wake up for at least a week. I had the same thing when I got pregnant with DD so I was sure I was pregnant again. I also noticed my bras didn't have any gaps in them any more and everything fit nice and snug (H noticed too, but didn't think anything of it).
Pee sticks if you're into that
How I told my H: I was planning to tell him when he got home last night by having DD give him a book to read to him with the title "I'm a Big Sister". He was going to go visit his grandma after work so I asked him to please come home first since we live on the same street. He wanted to know why and I told him I had something to tell him and I wanted to tell him in person. He asked what happened and I said nothing bad. Then he asked "Are you pregnant?" and all my plans went out the window and I told him on the phone. We talked the rest of his ride home. I did get to use the book to tell our family and his grandma is the first person we told since she is stuck in the nursing home waiting for her broken ankle to heal. DD gave H's grandma the book to read and his grandma read the title and it took her about a minute to put things together and a huge smile came across her face.
The Mushy Stuff: I'm so grateful for having this place to come to and talk to very informed ladies every day. I am grateful for the WTDS thread and ladies past and present since I started out there. It was great to hang out with other ladies who were waiting for one reason or another and always rooting each other on to burn the bench. I learned about BBT and charting from everyone on the main board and charted BBT for 9 months before we even started trying. Thanks to all of your for being such a great bunch of gals
I'll be lurking and loving.
I'm calling my doctor today to see if they can run my TSH and see if my thyroid med dosage needs to be increased.
ETA: I called my OB/GYN. My regular OB is about to leave on maternity leave so they have to figure out who is going to see me. They are also asking about who is going to treat my hypothyroidism during pregnancy and when I should get my levels checked. I'm just waiting for their call.

Except for the whole, waiting on a baby part. Which is seriously the best ever
