Can't believe I am writing this (BFP!!!)

kleigh926 · June 2012

I am in shock right now. It still hasn't sunk in. I got my BFP today at 11 dpo, after over 13 months of TTC and a PCOS diagnosis, with my first round of Clomid! I was happy enough that the Clomid helped me O at a normal time, never in my life did I think I'd get pregnant on the first round!

What we did: Clomid, obviously, and I drank more water than usual. Oddly enough, I had more EWCM than normal, which surprised me because I was expecting the Clomid to dry it up.

Symptoms: Sore boobs, which always happens post-O, but this time it was different. They started hurting later than normal, but then from 3-6 dpo became just as painful as they are the day before AF. Then from 6 dpo until now, the pain leveled out and decreased. I knew something was off, but I thought maybe it was just the Clomid. I also have had NO cramping, and I normally do have at least a little after O. My skin is also clearing up nicely, unlike the PMS breakouts I'm used to.

Testing: I wasn't going to test until Monday. This morning when my temp spiked I decided on a whim to use my only HPT, an 88 cent Wal-Mart test. At first glance I thought it was negative, but right when I was going to throw it away, I thought I saw something. I leaned down and looked closer, and there was the faintest line I have ever seen. It was so faint I thought I was imagining it, but within 10 minutes (the time limit) it became a tiny bit easier to see. Still light enough that I didn't really believe it though. I picked up some FRER's and POAS again around lunch time, and got the pic below

How I told DH: I haven't yet! He's on a business trip until late Thursday night, and I really want to tell him in person! I think I'm going to go buy a little onesie or something and put it in a gift bag as a "welcome home" gift and see how he reacts.

Thank you!!!! Everyone says it, but I'll say it again: the ladies on this board have given me an incredible amount of knowledge and support. I originally came here last November, confused as to why I stopped getting periods, knowing next to nothing about temping or anything else. I can't believe how much I have learned here and I am really going to miss everyone. I will probably be lurking here much more often than anywhere else. ALWAYS rooting for my TTGP girls!!!!!!

ETA: EDD is February 12, 2013
