5. How did you react to your BFP? Couldn't believe it. Woke my DH up at 5AM to look at the test because one of the lines was fainter than the other. Cried while saying, "No way... no way..." It was our first "try" since I went on Weight Watchers and lost 100 lbs (January). We had tried a few times before that, but both decided we both needed to get to healthier weights before getting pregnant/becoming parents! We weren't successful in conceiving before - it may have been due to my weight, but I'm not sure... so in the back of my mind, I had worried there may be conception issues so getting the BFP fairly quickly after we decided to try was like, "This can't be real!"
