Tentatively Tip-Toeing In...
I don't feel like it's real.
On Friday I had a very, very faint line on an IC. DH thought I was crazy. So I bought two digitals and got a + yesterday afternoon, and again this morning. I knew I'd be nervous - but right now I think it's also more like a numb disbelief. My last + was a very short CP in late March. I can't even allow myself to be excited yet. I haven't had a draw yet - I'll call in on Monday. I had a huge temp. drop today, so I continue to be nervous.
My story in a nutshell: I'm nearing 37, married DH in Jan/10. Was pregnant last August and my due date is next Sunday on Mother's Day. Our son had Trisomy 18 and we lost him at 13 weeks. I began seeing an RE this month and had cycle monitoring and blood work. I guess I can cancel all my testing that I was supposed to have next week...
TTCAL has saved me these past six months. I don't know what I'd have done without the support I've received from everyone there.
Thanks for having me.

Congrats on your good news! I understand how it's hard to be excited in the very beginning. I just got my BFP last Thursday and I didn't believe it either at 1st nor did DH. I've officially known about this pregnancy longer at this point than my last and that too is kinda scary, but a good scary!
I wish you the best and hope you get to stay for a H & H 9 months!
