1st Trimester
Giddy + Nervous and BFPs
After taking 5 HPTs 3 last night and 2 this morning, I am preggers-for the first time!
I had been taking BCP for three years prior to this January. My husband and I went to my parents house for Christmas, and while there I realized I had forgotten to get my BCP from the medicine cabinet. So after abrubtly stopping my pills AF came on Dec. 25th. My husband and I have always wanted children and had agreed that Jan & Feb of 2012 would be "playtime" and we would start our calendars and counting in March of this year.
Since I had been on BCP for so long, I wasn't sure what my ovulation cycle would be. By calendar, my period is due tomorrow, January 25th. A couple of weeks ago, I suspected early pregnancy- uterus got really sore and nipples were tender to touch, but both symptoms dissolved. I took a HPT last week and got a BFN. I had two HPT left out of my 3 pack box and decided to test again last night just for the heck of it. The E.P.T. had a very faint plus sign.... ummm. Faint sign. What's going on?! Well I didn't trust that one and decided to break open my individual test strips that I had ordered at the beginning of the year (they came with my ovulation strips). Two tests later= two faint pink lines. I was so nervous and excited that I talked myself into going to Walmart to get a ClearBlue digital test. I did manage to talk myself into waiting until this morning to actually take the test.
This morning I got up and peed on the CBE stick. In less than a minute, I had a Pregnant digital reading! I took an E.P.T. just to confirm- still got a faint plus sign. My DH apeased me by peeing in a cup and I tested his urine using the individual test strips- no surprise that he did not have 2 pink lines like I had the night before.
We are both super excited. I'm a little nervous because I've read a lot of posts about chemical pregnancies and miscarriages. I called my OB/GYN this morning and they scheduled my first appointment for Feb. 27. I'll have an ultrasound at that time. I am 4 weeks and 1 day by their calculation. I'm feeling a little crampy today. I know this is a common symptom that many women have, but with my period due date for "tomorrow" I'm just a little nervous. Now it's just a waiting game.

I agree. That's awesome and hilarious! Congrats! I'm a newbie to this board too. We can be nervous together! I read stuff too and get myself all worked up. It's dumb, but worry is inevitable. I need to find a way to deal with it.
Again congrats!
I felt like the test needed validation. Lol. If he got a faint line, then I would have reason to worry.
Thanks for all of the congratulatories! I'm trying not to let myself get too excited, but it's HARD!!!
I just got my BFP this morning too! We were so surprised it happened so quickly; for some reason I just convinced myself that it would take a while. I shouldn't have taken the test before work because now I can't concentrate on anything
I already had an annual scheduled for Feb. 14th, so when I called this afternoon and told them I was pregnant, they changed my appointment for me. I'm so excited and nervous - I keep praying that everything turns out okay!
