Ok, so I think all the chat ladies know but yes, I tested early. I tested at 7 dpo. I received a generous amount of HPTs, thanks to MsNessa (FRER, Blue Clear Digi, Wondfos) on Wednesday. I KNEW it was too early to test but hey, I got a ton so I did just one Wondfo. I was about to throw it away when I noticed... two pink lines. I thought, ok, this test is a dud. I tested again with the Wondfo. Same results. I then tested with a FRER and while I was waiting, logged on to chat to see if they were part of the bad batch. They weren't. I checked the FRER, again, two pink lines. At this point I was still in disbelief. The girls reassured me that I wasn't imaging anything. I tested yesterday one + and one -. Tested again, HELL, I was turning into an insane pee-holic! All + except that one FRER. This morning I couldn't help it anymore, I tested with a digi. "PREGNANT"
How I told DH: We've had a false + before with a blue dye (before I found TTGP) so I wanted to be sure before telling MH this time. I held out for 3 days! It was difficult but I knew he'd ask me if I was sure this time and I wanted to confindently say YES! I bought him a travel cigar holder that holds 3 cigars. His friends have a tradition of smoking cigars at any happy ocassion. Our best couple friends just announced they were PG this week. We always talked about how cool it'd be to have kids at the same time. I bought two cigars and put them in the case, along with the digi. I told him I got him something. He had a huge smile on his face. "I love presents!" He opened it up and saw the digi. He asked me if I was sure, kissed me, and told me his heart was racing. "That happened fast!" We hugged and kissed and talked about who we would tell and when. His head is still spinning.
What we did different: Honestly, nothing. I only temped and tracked CM and CP. Everytime I noticed EWCM, I made my move. We BD O-3, O-2, and O+1.
Symptoms: Mild headache for the last couple of days and bouts of intense hunger... but I wouldn't have related them to PG if I didn't get those tests.

It is not for us to say who, in the deepest sense, is or is not close to the spirit of Christ. We do not see into men's hearts. We cannot judge...It would be wicked arrogance for us to say that any man is or is not a Christian. ~C.S. Lewis
