in TTC after 35
Holy f'ing moses, after telling myself I wasn't going to test before Saturday morning, I broke down and FINALLY got my bfp tonight at 11dpo. I have been freaking out the past couple of days, thinking I might be, but terrified to test and find out I was wrong. This has been a long, emotional journey and I appreciate all of the support that I received on this board. I am cautiously optimistic, but having had a recent loss, I know that I am no where near out of the woods. I'll probably hang around and lurk for a while, until I feel confident about moving on. Please let this be a sticky bean!!!
FX'd that this is just the first in a string of holiday bfps!!!
