I finally made it home from Indiana after flying out for my aunt's funeral. We had the first leg of our departing flight delayed so long that we missed the second leg and had to leave a day later, followed by 2 very emotional days with family (and my mother being upset about the family that couldn't find a way to get out there), and a long flight home complete with a delay of the 2nd leg of our return flight. I crashed at my brother's house last night because I just couldn't drive home at 2:30 in the morning.
Now, I didn't say anything to anyone, but I had this gut feeling when my mother told me about my aunt passing last weekend, that this was going to be my BFP cycle - almost like she helped to make it happen (is that weird, I can't really explain my reasoning, but I just had this feeling even though I was only 4 DPO). Well this morning I drove myself home holding my FMU for an hour because I just couldn't wait anymore - and there it was!
I just want to thank you all so much for all your support and help, and for your T&P when I found out about my aunt. I am cautiously tip-toeing over to first tri because I had my m/c last time at 7 weeks.
Things we did differently this month: I really thought we were out this month because we were both kind of in a funk and didn't BD very often, and only had 1 time in my fertile window. I don't have too many symptoms yet, but my big clue was the flips my stomach was doing on the return flights yesterday (I never get sick when I fly). My breasts are definitely swollen and slightly heavy but not tender yet. This was my first month charting, and I really think that helped me to be more aware of what was going on with my body.
Good luck to all of you and I hope to see you in first tri soon!

My family is a Foreign Service family. Families like mine are posted in every corner of the globe. We live our lives away from family, friends and the conviences and comforts of home. We often live and work in dangerous places among those that misunderstand our intentions and purposes. Sometimes members of our ranks sacrifice our lives to further diplomacy. Please remember that we serve too. And I'm always open to questions.
Congrats!
