Quite Scared - BFP warning

NeonNoonNeonNoon member
in TTC after 35
I went to a mixer last night and I tell this man that we're hoping to have kids soon.  He asks to see my right hand.  He looks between two fingers and says, "you're gonna have two boys".

This morning, I take a FR HPT, and it's a solid +ve (15 DPO).  I was hoping to hold out till 18 DPO.  Didn't happen.

This is my very first BFP.  I'm relieved and quite scared.  Naturally, I am now worried about every little thing that can go wrong.  Our insurance situation is precarious.  Our maternity coverage doesn't kick in until the end of the year.  We can afford all the tests and visits up to then, but if I need surgery, we're gonna have some serious struggles.  We didn't want to waste cycles, so we didn't wait.

Thank you all for the warmth and support.  It has meant a lot since I have zero support in my community.  Good luck to each of you.  I will be checking in, so that I don't miss you too much.

Details (TMI follows):
BD: DPO -6, -3, 0
We sparingly used Astroglide Paraben & Glycerine-free lube.  Preseed has parabens, so we chose not to use it, and going without was too stressful
I was loosy goosy with the coffee - 0.5-1 cup a day.  Going cold turkey today.
Very early symptoms: twinges on the right side going down the pelvis, vivid/anxious dreams
I thought I had an implantation dip at 8 DPO, but it could easily be explained by a supplement I took to help me sleep

    Oh my gosh!!! So very happy for you! :D
    Honestly-- everything will fall into place. I truly believe that every BFP happens for a reason and at the timing it's supposed to happen, so just don't worry about any of that right now, and just enjoy your pregnancy. This is a very exciting time, and you don't want to waste it with worry. :)

    GL!

    Yay!!!!
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!

    Congratulations and a H&H 9 months to you! 

    (And hint: you are NEVER secure "enough" financially to have a baby. Yes, there are helpful things to have in place, but most of us are always one missed paycheck away from bad times. You will be okay-- even if stuff happens, you'll still be okay. :-) )
