Somebody pinch me...(BFP)

teachingirl28 · June 2012

Well, some of you have already seen my post in the 2WW thread, and you have convinced that I do have a BFP! I'm planning on retesting tomorrow morning with a digital just because I think it will be good for my skeptical little soul, but I have definitely taken a few different tests now with 2 lines apiece!

Here's the deal:

I've been testing since Father's Day (which was dumb because that was like 7 or 8 dpo, but I couldn't be convinced otherwise). I'd been getting stark, stark white tests every morning. Then this morning (11 dpo), I took another test around 8:30ish when I got up. I'd gotten up around 3:30 and gone to the bathroom, so I guess it wasn't *true* FMU - but there was definitely something showing up on the test!

I had all intentions of finding some cute way to tell DH, which might have been successful if today wasn't his day off...but in reality, he found out when I poked my head out of the bathroom and said, "Holy sh!t!"

I also texted a picture to my best girlfriend, posted a picture on the TWW, and showed DH. Everybody said what I was thinking - it's somewhat faint, but there were two lines! I went to Wal-Mart and bought a FRER, tried to wait until later to take it and caved - but lo and behold, what I thought I was an even clearer line came up on the FRER!

What we did this cycle:

I just wanted to post this to give you girls with long and weird cycles some hope. This was my second cycle off BCP, and my first cycle was 29 days and almost "textbook," but didn't end in a BFP. This cycle was super long and today is CD 41 for me. I got positive OPKs earlier in the cycle, but no temp jump and no post-O symptoms like I always get (cramps, sore boobs). I kind of gave it up and thought that meant maybe I wasn't going to O this cycle, but you girls encouraged me to keep temping and taking OPKs and I got a positive OPK on CD 30! We had sex on O-2, O-1, and O.

I know I haven't been here very long, but you girls have been so helpful, and I've learned so much about my body while I've been here. I'm definitely going to stick around and check in on everyone, and I have my fingers crossed for a baby that sticks!! Good luck to everyone else this cycle!
