If I were in your shoes, I'd have such a similar reaction. Hopefully by taking it day to day, you and DH, both individually and together, can start to smile about the whole thing. For now, your complete shock is totally understandable for so many reasons!
I'd call your RE, at least I know I would want to.
Thinking of you!!!
Pregnant with #1 with PCOS and LPD, success with mostly naturopathic treatments

Our early Christmas present 12/9/10
I could have sworn I replied to this but I don't see my response anywhere?
Anyway...Congratulations! I understand the conflicted emotions of a surprise pregnancy. I was freakingoutbigtime when I got mine. And it wasn't what we planned, but DH has said over and over: Imagine if little Penny wasn't here? What would we do without her? She completes our family and things do happen for a reason. You got pregnant against the odds.
I think it's great that you and your DH have been working on your marriage. Open communication is super important and it will help you to work through both of your feelings.
Congratulations! I'm sorry it is a mixed surprise right now and understand how much you both must be processing. I hope everything works out best for you and your husband!
My bff is super, super fertile and for various reasons her DH kept postponing a vasectomy. She got pregnant with what turned out to be their 3rd son. At first her DH was really upset, thought she should have an abortion, she then was upset, moved out for awhile, after the shock, he came around and was happy about the pregnancy, she moved back in, water under the bridge.
It is heartbreaking, and none of us ever want that to be the reaction we get to a pregnancy, especially when we are IF and have had to work so hard in the past. But I just wanted to let you know that even the worst initial reactions turn the other way, and everyone can be happy and excited for the new baby in the end.
Wow! I would call your RE and ask for a beta, I know plenty of people who do and it will be nice just to get some confirmation. I hope everything turns out well for you both.
"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasured day you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart...let me hold you while I may."
I agree with everyone else. Congratulations and give it time.
I will also be the crass one here and say I'm impressed...sex two days in a row? Good for you girl! I don't have that kind of energy. ;-)
This made me lol! So, I'll say ditto!

That is truly a miracle. I am really sorry about the circumstances, though. It must be tough to be so divided. Just give yourself some time to adjust to the idea and things will feel differently after a few days.
I can totally understand your mixed feelings - but I wanted to say congratulations and I'm hoping all turns out wonderfully for you. ((HUGS))

Re: just got a surprise bfp
Wow! Congrats. Give it some time for both you and your H to let it sink in.
Oh, and call you RE about getting a Beta. I'm sure they would see you. GL!
Congratulations!
