I've been holding out on you, GP. I'm sorry, I hope that you can forgive me.

After posting on Monday about wanting to test, I ended up grabbing more tests while out on a work errand and like a total teenager, tested at work. I was shocked to see a faint line appear--at 9DPO!

I hid it in my desk and kept looking at it, even leaving the building to get a better look outside. I was beside myself.  I called my RE and they wanted me to come in the next day for a beta. Waiting for the results was pure torture, but it came in at a 29. Not great, but not bad for 10DPO.

I wanted to tell DH in person, but I had scheduled dinner guests at our home on Monday and they were arriving right after I got home from work, so I had to wait until they left--at 10:30!!!  I showed them out the door, grabbed the cats, and took them upstairs to DH where I told him that we might need to sit down with the boys--and talk to them about how they'd feel about becoming big brothers.  He got all wide eyed and was like, "I knew something was up! I knew it!" Still, he made me spell it out for him and told him about testing, the dr's appointment in the a.m. and the risks at this point.

Tuesday after my beta we went out to dinner to celebrate and the whole way there and all through dinner we just couldn't stop talking about it and couldn't wipe the sh*t eating grins off of our faces. He wasn't prepared to hit up Babies R Us, so we settled for Target.

Today was my 2nd round of betas (which is why I waited to announce this) and it just came in within the last hour at 88.  Whoohoo!

As for symptoms, I did not have ONE SINGLE SYMPTOM until the day after my BFP. Since then I've been cramping all day/night and during the day I don't have an appetite at all, but in the evening I have a voracious hunger. If I try to eat when I don't have an appetite, I take two bites and I feel completely full.  My boobs hurt the same way they do before AF. The only other thing that I can think of is that I never talk in my sleep, but two nights I've fallen asleep early and when DH comes to bed, I say bizarre things or yell at him. I don't know if this is related or if I'm just losing my mind.

Lastly, I can't say what it was that helped me to get pregnant. I was taking vitex for long cycles, but I can't pinpoint it as the one thing that helped. I drank some fertility tea (Traditional Medicinals... YUCK!) pretty regularly. We BD'd two days before ovulation and the day of--and if I have anything to say, it was that we had amazing sex in all sorts of contortions and I got up from the bed pretty quickly afterwards (maybe 3 minutes?)

So--what's my analysis? I got lucky. Really effing lucky. TTC is a crazy crapshoot and I feel like I've just won the lottery.

Thank you girls for everything. I love you so, so dearly.

xoxo
