Can you believe it's been 2 years?

jcsumm0 · October 2012

Since around the time we all got our BFPs? It is crazy to think that I've "known" some of you for that long!

Should we do a reminising thread and post about how we found out we were KU?

jcsumm0 · October 2012

I got mine on Sept. 26. It was our 11th month trying so I was over testing early. We were living in Australia and my parents were visiting. We flew back from a trip to New Zealand that morning. I was 15 DPO but I still wasn't letting myself believe I was really KU. We all took a nap but I couldn't sleep. I snuck into the bathroom and POAS. BFP!!! I really couldn't believe it. That was my primary emotion. I was so happy, but also incredulous!

I snuck back into the bedroom (my parents were napping in the living room) and handed DH the UK onesie I'd bought to tell him I was pg. He said, "What's this for?" and I said, "We're having a baby!" (or something like that). We were so excited but we had to be quiet (I didn't want to tell my parents until I was further along), so we had a little whispered celebration.

I love thinking about that day!!!

It was my first month on Clomid after trying for about a year. I tested a day earlier than I was supposed to, so I think I was only like 10dpo or something. The line was SO faint it looked like it could be an evaporation line so I ran it in and woke DH up "Do you see a line? Do you see a line??" Then we both cried like babies.

My 2 year "anniversary" was yesterday. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had been charting and my temp actually had gone down that morning, just a bit, but enough to make me think I was out again and that we had one more cycle before we would have to start seeking some help. While I was at work, I started getting cramps and thought for sure now I was out. Well, by the end of the day my cramps turned into what I can only describe as the baby grabbing on tight to my insides, trying to hang on. Wink I knew then it wasn't my period.

We were supposed to go out to dinner and I was just beeping for MH at the curb, but I called him on my way home and said I was running it to take a test. I'm pretty sure he thought I was crazy, but as soon as I put that stick on the counter, that beautiful 2nd line showed. I cried and told him to come in the bathroom for a second...and today we've got this beautiful face:

I was traveling to participate in a competition for law school. I knew something was up because of extra saliva in my mouth (I swear I was drooling while doing my part of the argument) and my boobs hurt so bad. I knew my teammates would want to go out and drink after the competition so I POAS and bam BFP! I couldn't wait the two days to tell DH so I called and told him over the phone. We were both kind of in shock because we had gone 17 months of semi-trying without getting pregnant. The competition was in DC and I remember sitting on a bench near the Washington Monument calling H to tell him and crying/laughing/smiling like an idiot. Tourists probably thought I was crazy.

butterfly62682 · October 2012

Sept 29th was my two year anniversary.

I actually test during lunch at work. I had a miscarriage in June of that year and all I wanted to be was pregnant that I ached for it. I couldn't hold out any longer. So I tested, got a BFP, then called DH. LOL

kayjay10 · October 2012

Since DD was 2.5 months premature, it isn't officially my 2 year mark yet. But we had been trying for 2 years exactly (in November) and I had just switch OBs. I had been on clomid for a long time, but this was my first time with the new OB. He also put me on metformin since I had had 2 m/c before. It was actually Dec. 13 that I got my BFP. My cycles were never regular so a late period meant nothing. I just had this feeling and we left work early because it had started snowing. I have an hour commute and the closer I got to my town, there was no snow. So I stopped at Target to play/shop and decided to get a HPT just for the heck of it. I tested when I got home and couldn't believe it. I told DH as soon as he got home. We are going to start TTC again this month and I hope it's A LOT faster this time!

milesc · October 2012

I found out Oct 2nd...

It was Saturday am, and for some reason the dog woke me up early to go outside which is real unusual. So I got up, let him out, and decided to go pee while I was waiting for him. Just as I sat down to pee, I grabbed a test- purely for kicks. (I hadn't tested since August, so I figured 'why not') I had not missed my period, and actually didn't expect it for another week or so... So I put the test on the counter, let the dog back in, and went to head back to bed- just popped my head in and got the shock of my life- the digital said PREGNANT! I swear my hear stopped and I kept tilting the test to see the 'NOT' in front of it lol. Needless to say, I went back to bed, but was so excited I couldn't sleep. I took a picture of it, had it printed that day, taped it backwards on the door and wrote- 'You are the best thing to ever happen to me. This is the second. I love you' on the back of it- and locked the door so DH would find in when he got home later that day (he had school). He walked through the door and we were both so excited!!!

((I was further along than what I thought, and my last 'period' must have been bleeding))

SarahKate31 · October 2012

I found out Sept 28, 2010. I tested in the AM after DH had left for work. It was our 12th cycle trying and we had already had 2 m/c's earlier that year so my reaction was "omg...here we go again". I was excited, but also very pessimistic. I told DH that evening. Pretty sure I said "I'm pregnant again" and that was it. It seems like forever ago!!

JavaVino910 · October 2012

I got my BFP on Oct 12th.

I had been charting for a few months and my cycles were so frustratingly long (like 50 days). I was 13DPO and I did an internet cheapie that morning. It was positive. I literally didn't believe it. I went to work and on my way home bought another test. Took another test when I got home. Pregnant. I had planned to do something cute a creative for DH, but that evening, I said "So.... I took a pregnancy test and it was positive". DH was shocked. His first words were "Well, I guess I have to sell my motorcycle" LOL. FYI- he still has his bike (even though he doesn't ride it much!).

Our lives changed forever.

mamarazzi528 · October 2012

I think I got my BFP around Sept. 24th. Wow, I just realized I've had 2 LO's in these past 2 years and LO #2 came right around the 2 year mark (Sept. 16)! Kinda cool.

Sunidaze · October 2012

I got my BFP October 20. I was just a few days late, which was the norm for me...but the first clue that it wasn't quite norm was a few days prior - (and this is perhaps a wee bit on the TMI side) a big 'O' followed by an 'oh my God, what is up with these cramps from hell???' I thought since my period was just a few days late, it was making up for lost time and coming on with a vengeance that I hadn't felt since high school. That Wednesday (10/20) I had scheduled flu shots for work. When it was my turn, I did the paperwork and with the question 'are you pregnant' I thought, hmm...I guess that is quite possible. So I talked to the nurse, she wouldn't give me the shot until I talked to my doctor or confirmed one way or the other so got a cheapie test on the way home that night. I didn't tell DH right away...the next day I stopped and got a digital test just to confirm and show him and waited until Friday morning. I woke him up as I was leaving for the gym before sun up - told him and while he sat there in shock, I continued about my business. I think he was still in shock when I got home that night.

jc&cat · October 2012

great stories! i got my BFP with DD about 10 min before taking DS to his pulmonology appointment for asthma check. i was like, OMG i have to test today and DH was having breakfast with DS while I did it. I ran out and said "YES" and then shook as I walked to the car with DS. DH was in shock i think but totally happy. We were trying but it was the dawning of "holy crap this is real" type of moment. The first person we told was the doc. lol. What a crazy morning!

magnoliablossom00 · October 2012

We found out on October 17th. We had just spent the weekend at a pumpkin patch picking out pumpkins and admiring all the LOs. We were giggling to each other and hoping SO badly to get a BFP soon so that we could take our own little pumpkin to the patch the following year. I tested on Sunday morning, ran out into the bedroom, and woke up DH. I'm pretty sure I waved the test in his face! Ha! He just kept repeating, "oh my god. are you sure?!" Then he ran outside in his underwear and shouted, "We're having a baaaaabbbbyyyy!" Ha!

Turtle143 · October 2012

I found out I was KU during an ultrasound that was meant to be the start of a workup to finally find out why we had been unsuccessful TTC for 3 years. It was just 2 weeks after we'd returned from a trip to Paris. When the doctor told me to look at the screen to see what she was looking at, I braced myself for her to tell me what I had something abnormal....or serious. Instead she told me that there's an embryonic sac in my uterus...and that it actually meant I was pregnant. Almost 5 weeks pregnant! Of course I couldn't believe it so she told me to take a HPT when I get home. And that is what I did.

DH came home just 5 minutes after I'd POAS and saw a BFP. I'm sure we both wanted to jump and down for joy but I think we were both too scared that the BFP would somehow reverse itself to BFN. We heard from my OB about the positive serum test but still I don't think we allowed ourselves to be completely in it until past the first tri.

Up to now, people keep teasing us that all we needed was a trip to Europe to conceive. A cousin suggested to name the baby Paris. Umm.....right Surprise

LexGator · October 2012

I got my BFP on October 4. I was spotting the week prior, and it was our first month TTC, so I just thought I was getting an early period. We were actually out at a bar with friends (oops), and I went to the restroom and noticed that my spotting had stopped. I stopped drinking just in case. Two days later, I took a test on a whim (I was only 9 DPO) and got a very clear line almost instantly. I was in shock, didn't believe it, and went out and bought digital tests to confirm. I told H when he got home from work that night (I just blurted it out), and we waited a long 5 weeks to share with our parents/siblings.

jcsumm0 · October 2012

I love reading these! Keep 'em coming!

MrsI · October 2012

I technically have a few more weeks before our 2 year b/c DD was early but I'll play. DH and I had been trying for 8 cycles and I always tested before the actual missed period because I am impatient and needed to know. I had "spotting" and thought my period was coming and had mentioned it to DH so in his mind it was another cycle over. All of a sudden I was SUPER tired and coming home from work and going straight to bed at 5 for the night. Then we were carving pumpkins and I thought I was going to hural from the smell so at 10dpo I decided to test. We were cleaning getting ready for company and I tested and then asked DH if he saw the SUPER faint line too. He made me take another test and then we had to go get digitals to be sure. Two more of those and we were on cloud nine! Although I am super high risk so the fear also set in of all the what-ifs. My miracle baby was born with not 1 of those complications! Yay!!

march2008 · October 2012

I got my BFP on October 3rd. It was our 5th cycle TTC. I had gone to my usual Zumba class on Saturday, but felt really light-headed and just "off" during the class. I decided to wait until the next morning to test because I thought I'd get a more accurate result by testing right when I woke up. DH new I was going to test on Sunday morning, but I woke up before him and went straight into the bathroom and used one of the cheap tests I'd bought on Amazon. It was positive, so I ran back to the bed and showed him and then I tested again on a digital because I didn't fully believe it until the word "PREGNANT" popped up on that test!! I had so many left over cheapie tests that I continued to test like every day until I ran out. lol

nic5606 · October 2012

Got mine at the end of September ( i am too lazy to get up and go find the exact date). It was our last day in Hawaii and I had brought a test with me, just incase. I stopped drinking half way through the vacation, just having a feeling I was pregnant again. Had my share of pina coladas the first half of the vacation! oops.

DH said do not get your hopes it. It was the first cycle after my m/c. I am glad I did not listen to the doc when she suggested we wait one cycle. She told me I would probably get my period late and likely not ovulate that cycle, so for timing purposes, to wait a cycle. It was the only cycle I ever ovulated on day 14! I always was like day 17+. If its meant to be, it is meant to be!!! That was a good flight home.

Jaytee501 · October 2012

I have long cycles so didn't think anything of being, say, 4 days late.

I was in Wal Mart HAPPENING to walk past the "Family Planning" aisle, lol, and I suddenly stopped. I counted. SEVEN days late. Hmmm...

I went next door to the Dollar Store, of all places, bought 2 packs, 2 tests each (being cheap, thinking after 1.5 yrs with no birth control and being 37 I couldn't REALLY be pregnant!).

They were positive.

I went back out, bought 2 digital tests...positive.

I SAT ON MY HANDS to not call anyone until MH got home 5 hours later so he could be the 1st. My mom came over a few minutes later; she was the second we told. Later I called my brother...and that was it for awhile.

We were all in shock for a couple of weeks!!

Ooglybear · October 2012

DH got home from a deployment in late August, so Sept was our first month TTC. The night before my birthday I had a feeling and was going to test the next morning. Then I had a little spotting that night, so I figured AF was coming and didn't bother testing. That weekend, we went out to a bar for my birthday and had a few drinks. AF never came. I got a faint BFP on Sept 29 and was in disbelief. The next morning, I tested again and woke DH up crying. He asked what was wrong and I said something like "My body tricked me! I thought I wasn't PG, so I had alcohol!" He laughed at me.

rattlecanqueen · October 2012

I can't remember the exact date, but I do remember it was the second week of October. We just put an offer on our home and got our 2nd puppy. I was a raging, constantly sleepy, starving mega b!tch. That night I inhaled half a giant house salad, and extra large pizza, before MH even ate 2 pieces. I was throwing a GINORMOUS temper tanturm because the internet was being slower than normal. We hadn't been preventing pg for 9 months, I swore I was PMSing worse than normal, but figured that something was amiss. So while H ate, I went and POAS. The pg line turned pink before the other line. I called to Andrew to come here. His response total seriousness, "No, I'm not going to look at your poop!" I told him it was worth it, and he finally came in and he jokingly said "oh jeez...here we go!"

I can't wait to do that again!

mrsmullins0500 · October 2012

We had started trying in August. We thought we had missed our fertile window in September so when I missed my period in Oct we didn't know what was up but knew I wasn't pregnant. I told DH I was going to get a pregnancy test bc I knew when I called my OB/GYN they would ask if I had taken one. Sure enough BFP. Can't believe it's been two years.

Andie_83 · October 2012

It was our first month of trying, and I was supposed to get my period September 25, but it didn't come. After work I was supposed to go stay with a friend, but her bf ended up coming into town, so I was going home. I decided to stop and pick up a test just for the hell of it. DH was working until midnight so I was all alone, but decided to test regardless. I work in Canada so I bought a Clearblue Digital that also tells you when you conceived. I drove the 30 minutes home (back in the states) thinking I was crazy and I wasn't even a full day late. I remember taking the test as soon as I got home and when it popped up "pregnant - 1-2" I was in complete shock. I mean, even as a newb, I never would've thought I could get KU on the first try! So I hopped back in my truck and went back into town to buy more tests. I think I bought a FRER and a blue dye test, both were positive.

I didnt want to tell DH over the phone so I just went to bed. I got up to go to work early the next day, but when I got there I was too excited to stay. So I used sick leave and went home, but DH was at his sons football practice. I told him that I was going to test again, and he told me I was nuts, it's only been a month. Obviously I knew it was going to be positive again, but to satisfy him, I bought two more tests.

When I told him, he was so scared, but also excited. He gave me a big hug and said something along the lines of I cant believe we did it, and something about super sperm LOL Wow, I love reliving this, and I can't wait to do it again!

slstine19 · October 2012

We actually conceived this weekend and found out Friday, Oct. 15. It was a teacher?s institute day and we were quite excited that we only had to attend ? a day. That afternoon I received a message to call the specialist back. I thought this was quite odd because every other time the test came back negative they had left a message on the voice mail saying it was negative. I was in the high school parking lot talking to another teacher/coach who is a very good friend that knew what we were going through. She wanted me to call back right then. However, my cell phone wasn?t always the best and said I would wait. When I was done talking to her I went inside to my classroom and called the doctor. Helen, my favorite nurse at the specialist?s office, told me the good news. I couldn?t believe it. I started crying after trying for 9 yrs and 1 yr with specialist. I tried calling DH a couple of times. I left messages for him to come to the high school before going home. I couldn?t wait to tell him the good news. Volleyball practice had started by the time DH arrived. I had DH go into the coach?s office because no one else was there. I told him the good news. He didn?t believe me at first. I will never forget that day. I loved reading all the other posts. Thanks for sharing!

MommaG123 · October 2012

I found out 2 years ago today!! I wanted to dye my hair and I realized AF was a couple days late so I tested and got a faint positive... then I tested again and got another positive!

I called MH so I could meet him for lunch and tell him.

rlmanning · October 2012

We had been trying to get pregnant for 3years with no luck! On the 4th year we started seeing an infertility specialist. After many tests it was determined that I had fibroids and needed surgery to remove them. There wasn't a guarantee that I would get pregnant. I had surgery on June 10th 2010. Our infertility Dr. Agreed to give us 3 months to try and conceive without fertility intervention. Fast forward to October 1st 2010. We were on Catalina Island for Buccaneers Weekend partying it up! I was supposed to start my period that weekend. When we came home on Sunday I just had this odd feeling. I brushed it off as the aftermath of a fun weekend! Monday October 4th I went to work and I couldn't shake the "odd" feeling all day. I hadn't started my period yet so I decided to POAS when I got home from work. Sure enough, that little Window said PREGNANT. I about crapped my pants. For so many months I was used to seeing NOT PREGNANT that seeing that threw me off. So a few minutes later when DH got home from work I handed him my cigarettes I was a smoker and told him I couldn't have these anymore. He looked at me all funny and I then handed him the BFP test! He began to cry! We were both so excited! We called our parents right away and our siblings! We decided to wait on telling our friends. Well 2 days later my DH couldn't contain himself and posted "I'm gonna be a daddy" on FB.
It has been the most amazing 2 years of my life. I am happy to say I never picked up another cigarette after that day! I absolutely LOVE being a mommy!
Thank u for posting this! It had been so fun to read everyone's stories and to recount mine!!!

DaisyJanie · October 2012

I can't remember the exact date, but we were going to go backpacking the second weekend in October. My period should have been the first weekend in October, but I didn't test that Sunday because I was afraid my H or my FIL (who we were going backpacking with) would make a fuss about my going if I was pregnant. But by Tuesday I realized I really should test, and it was positive! I didn't tell H I was testing, just came home and went into the bathroom and did it, so he was a little shocked but happy. And nobody mentioned not going on the trip. We went, it was great.

Telly21182 · October 2012

I found out 10/23/10. I suspected for about a week though, but since we were playing that cycle to fate I refused to test until after a missed period. I was scheduled to start 10/20. Then we were going to a hockey game with friends on 10/22 so I didn't want to know for sure since it would have been too soon to tell anyone, and I didn't want to do anything to give it away. Well, since I pretty much knew I pretended to drink a beer (we were in a box so thankfully it was a can and not a clear plastic 20-ozer!), but of course BFF noticed and suspected too. She was helpful in helping hide it.

The next morning I asked DH - so, should I test. He said "Yep, let's get this over with". I got pissed at his response. Hormones already kicked in apparently! Went upstairs, POAS and before I was done it was positive! I was in complete and utter shock. I honestly didn't think we were timed appropriately to make a baby, but I must have ovulated early. The one time I did!

I was numb all weekend - in a good way!

vanessa999 · October 2012

I should know the date off the top of my head, but I pretty much knew I was pregnant right after i ovulated. It was out first time trying and I remember going out and getting a pregnancy test on my husbands birthday, Sept 10th because I wanted to surprise him with the positive test, but the test were not showing yet. I believe I found out the 22nd for sure, but could be a couple of days off.

I had already taken 4 test and they all had been negative. So I went out and bought another box and tested and it was positive, I came out of the bathroom and told DH and he didn't believe me but he finally took a look at the test and was so happy, I took the second test and confirmed what the first said
