BFP and a little nervous!

in September 2011 Moms

This is my first post here. I took a test this morning and it was positive. I am about 6 days late for my period. I had an appointment already scheduled for this Wednesday with a new OBGYN, because I wanted to go on BCP because the only way I've ever gotten pregnant is being on the pill and then going off of it. I'd get pregnant the month after I went off the pill. So you can imagine my surprise when I was late this cycle and then the BFP this morning. My husband seemed to know the whole time, I suppose he has more faith than me. :)

Anyway, we were pregnant last May and had a miscarriage. So I'm a little nervous. I want to shout it from rooftops, yet I am so terrified of telling anyone. We told everyone last time, and then the day after we told all the parents, we had a miscarriage. So while I want to share the happy news with everyone, I am too afraid. My husband and I are trying to decide how long to wait.

There is so much more I want to say but I will just stop there for now.

Thanks for listening.

    Congratulations!

    I understand your concern. I m/c back in late Oct and this time around we waited until this weekend to tell my parents and today, I told my BF. We saw the HB on Thursday so we felt comfortable telling my parents (with my DD and the pg in Oct, we told them ASAP). We are going to wait to tell more people (people who don't even know about the m/c) until 12 weeks.

    I think after my "dating u/s" this Friday, I will tell some more close friends, if all is going well.

    You will know when it is right to tell those close to you (first) and then more people. Maybe wait until you see your ob on Wed and see what they may do?

    Again, welcome and congratulations. Just think, you told all the ladies on this board ;-)!

    I called the OBGYN's office this morning to tell them about the BFP. The receptionist was like, "Well we don't do pregnancy work ups until the 10th week so..." And I said, "Well I have a history of ectopic pregnancy; it almost killed me and I'd prefer to know a little earlier this time if I have an EP" so she said I could still come in on Wednesday. She said they might do some bloodwork but not much else til my 10th week. :(

    Congrats and welcome!

    There are many ladies here, including myself, who know all too well the confusing emotions that you are experiencing right now.

    Being PgAL is a very personal experience and so although it is difficult to give advice on the various situations that you will encounter, I will leave you with this (it's a mantra that many of the PgAL ladies use around here - "today I am pregnant, and I love my baby!". Basically, just take it one day at a time. Try to relax and enjoy every moment that you are pregnant.
