Hey ladies. Guess what? I got my BFP this morning! I am still in shock. DH and I decided to "take a break-ish" this past month because we were both feeling so discouraged and stressed out. This morning I woke up thinking I should just try testing because my period should be due sometime soon and I had a test just sitting there, but I forgot and peed. About an hour later I was sitting on the couch and bumped my boob with the remote and it felt a little tender. I went back to the bathroom, squeezed out barely enough to get the test wet, and the second line started to show up as soon as I put it on the counter. I started crying and ran into DH's office (he was on a work call) and just held the test up. He hurried off the phone and started laughing, then jumped up and hugged me. Later tonight I confirmed with a digital.
Symptoms: Barely tender breasts and that's it! I posted in a 2WW post that I felt weird without all of the phantom symptoms and I felt like it was my body's way of not getting my hopes up because it wasn't going to happen. I was wrong.
What we did different: Here is my plug for PreSeed. This was our first month using it and I just loved it. We didn't chart this cycle (as part of our "break-ish") and while it made me nervous at the time because I'm such a control freak, I'm able to look back now and see that when it came time to have sex, I was a lot less worried about whether this was "it" or not. No POM, no Green Tea.
So, off I go! I will miss you ladies (Cheeky and Indiana, you can bet I'll be stalking and cheering still) and genuinely hope to see you all soon. Thanks for everything.
