I got my BFP this morning at 10 DPO. I know it was early to test but I typically start testing around this time. I wasn't expecting anything other than stark white but after about a minute a faint line started to appear. I started shaking and then called for my DH, who didn't believe I was pregnant. More on that below.
What we did differently: nothing...I've been doing the same regimen for the past few cycles which includes charting, OPKs, 2,000 ml EPO, 100 ml of B6, PN, and Pomegranate supplement (I always stop taking EPO and Pom after O).
This cycle was the first cycle I noticed more than scant EWCM and also had very watery cm a couple days prior to O. We BD 0-2 and 0-1.
Symptoms: Honestly, none. My temps seemed ok but nothing I was too excited about. My boobs don't feel sore, I'm not tired...I wasn't expecting to be pregnant because I was so symptom-less and BFP posts always seem to have many.
This is my DH and my 7 month trying and 6 cycle charting. I know we haven't been trying a long time, but this 6th cycle mark was pretty emotional for me (when I was feeling not pregnant and expecting to be onto the next cycle).
So here's the story about my DH, when I showed him my test, he could see a line but kept saying "calm down, don't get your hopes up. Just wait a few weeks and we'll test again". And then he went back to painting the hallway. Um...what?! He didn't get it. He honestly didn't believe I was pregnant because the line was faint (I told him over and over, "a line is a line"). I don't know...it wasn't the reaction I was expecting so I burst into tears and just kept saying over and over, "why can't you just be happy, we were able to get pregnant?!". He feels bad now but the whole thing was, like I said...sooo not what I was expecting.
I sincerely hope this isn't considered a drive-by. I am a daily lurker and sometimes poster. I am one of those people who tries to force bump breaks on myself but can never stay away long! Thanks to all for the education, I am very happy I have so much knowledge about my body and unlike many pregnant women, don't have to guess at my EDD (3/15/12) because I know exactly when I ovulated.
I know it's early for me still so I'm cautious, but hopeful. Again, thank you and you are all in my thoughts for BFPs soon.

Congrats! MH had almost the same reaction the first time around, and even today he told me not to get my hopes up too much yet. They don't understand that it's just impossible not to get excited, even for a faint line! Don't worry about it, he'll come around.
See you over on March 2012! We have the same EDD.
