Call me curious, but when did you

November3Love · October 2012

get your big fat positive? I've seen it in a couple of siggys & I was just wondering when we all got the news about our LOs & I was also wondering what went through our heads. How did your SO react to the news, too?

For me, I found out on Friday, 11-11-11, Veteran's Day at 8:11am. The things that went through my head were: "Oh My God-when!?! How far along am I?!? I thought that I couldn't!?!?! I hope when DH & I went out for our anniversary on 11-1-11 & I had that glass of wine, it'll be OK. I hope that the baby is alright..." I called DH while he was in a very important meeting (oops!) & told him he needed to get home... NOW! He kept asking if I was OK & I just kept repeating myself & then he finally got it out of me: "I'm pregnant." ... silence for a moment & then he said: "I'm leaving now. I'll be home in a little bit. I love you." ... when he came home I was sitting on the couch, staring off into LaLaLand. He sat across from me on the coffee table, rubbing my thighs as he kept telling me that we were going to be OK & we'll get me to the doctor ASAP & find out how far along I was. He was shocked, but 100% supportive.

Wow... looking at my son right now & thinking back to that moment... Whew doesn't time fly by!!?!?

I found out on the 23rd, the day after my grandmother died, so it was a weird week for sure.

nesenotes · October 2012

I found out on the third or fourth of November. My period was supposed to start 11/1 and nothing. And I had all the symptoms of it to start and was cramping like a mother. I was on lunch break and decided to just go to Ralphs and buy a test. We had been trying for a year so I was skeptical. I was sooo excited and scared when I saw the two pink lines. I couldnt believe it. But I just wanted it to stick so bad. I called my mom first. I told DH that night. I blind-folded him and plopped the test in his hand. I videotaped it but he didnt really have a big reaction. He just gave me a hug. I think we where both cautiously excited, but didnt want to get too worked up because the miscarriage the first time really hurt us both.

Found out on November 4th while MH was at work. So, I called him and told him that he was going to be a daddy and he was speechless but so happy. He had to call his mom and let her know and barely could restrain himself from announcing it on facebook. LOL

Hubby was across the state working at a show and I was going to fly out to see him. On Wednesday night nov 16 I tested and it said positive. I took another one Thursday morning before I left for the airport and it said positive. I was in shock but I drove around and found a little cute camo onesie. I called and told hubby I had got him a present and that it was very expensive and he will love it more than anything he's ever loved. He had no idea what it was. I got off the plane and handed him a bag with a onesie and the tests. He was in shock and I was crying saying I'm so scared. He was smiling and so excited. We went to Walgreens and took another test and sure enough three positives. We had no idea how we were going to do it but we knew we'd be okay. We were so happy. It's crazy how far we've come...

Good question Op!!

I need to go look back for the date, but I know DH had been bugging me for several days to test as it appeared my cycle was late. [I had gone off the pill three months before and my first two cycles were also a little off kilter so I had been putting off testing until I was more certain I was late not just wonky].

Well, I was home from work that day because I was quite badly sick with an upper respiratory infection and decided what the hell I'll test. Tested and got the second of the pink lines very obviously. I rang DH who was on his way to work and remember we were both quite excited, although I felt so awfully sick I think I was less so than I might have been.

My dad came over that morning to take me to my PCP, because I felt too sick to safely drive the 30 minute drive to her. She was about to write out a prescription and I told showed her a picture of the positive test from that morning. She had to change her choice of antibiotics, and told me I really should try not to take them unless my symptoms got worse still. Dad was so confused as to why I wasn't going to get my medication straight away... And I also had to ring a girlfriend to find out the name of her OB so I could make a booking with him because my PCP wasn't sure which OBs were good out my way. So I had to ask in a roundabout way again because I was with dad and didn't want to tell him just yet.

I think we told my parents, grandparents, DH's parents, and our sisters after the first OB appointment. The first scan we did which was about two weeks after the positive result showed a 6w5d old fetus so I must have got my positive fairly early. Based on my approximate LMP I should have been closer to 9w then, but I hadn't exactly been tracking that either.

I found out Nov 27th. I went to the Dr 2 weeks before to check up on a cyst. During the ultrasound, the tech told me I had extra fluid. And when I was talking to my Dr he said he had a feeling he would see me before Jan. I never put 2 and 2 together. I went with my mom to Georgia after Thanksgiving to see my grandparents. I was sick the entire time but it never crossed my mind because of the problems I have and my DH just had a reversal in August. I got home and told DH I hadn't felt good. He said lets go get a test! I'm so glad the Dr didn't say anything. I wasn't that far a long, but I think he knew then.

We found out on 11-4-11. I had a feeling we were pregnant because I was a week late. So we went to my office's quarterly get together & my co-workers wanted to me drink with them. One keep giving me cranberry & vodkas, which I would take outside and dump in the grass lol.

After we left the party we went to Walgreen's to buy a test and we took it when we got home. I was nervous and anxious and excited all at once! DH was smiling like The Cheshire Cat! We actually went on our delayed honeymoon the next week so he got to travel with us. We went into the doctor a few weeks later to hear his heartbeat.

Been falling more and more in love everyday since!

11-12-11. My husband was away and I shouldn't have taken a test, but I was to anxious/excited not to. I took one and it was negative, but for some reason I really, really felt like I was pregnant so I went to Target and bought another and bfp!

Same story here, I found out November 4th the day my grandma died. That's why Frankie has her last name as her middle name.The saying goes when one life ends, another begins.

surprise3rd · October 2012

I found out the monday after Thanksgiving. I was shocked, I had an IUD, and we were not planning on a third. My DH was even more shocked!

ThePinkSuperhero · October 2012

Got mine on Friday 10/28. I had a BFN on Wednesday morning, but was still holding out hope, so I ordered the back of ovulation/pregnancy test strips on Amazon. As soon as they were delivered to my office on Friday morning, I took it and BOOM. Told my husband, told my sisters. Got to go to the church Halloween party the next day and think, next year I'll have a baby at this party! And sure enough I will!

KarmB · October 2012

oh i dont know. I know I started feeling my symptoms right when I concieved. I threw up at the call of duty MW3 midnight but i was only about a week then. I found out 2 weeks after that I think....I know I found out I was pregnant at 3 1/2 weeks. I tested on a monday at work, freaked out and sent a pic to one of my KNot friends. That night i told hubby we had to get a pregnancy test because i felt off.I tested at 4am on saturday with David and my faint positive was a bit darker so I know it wasnt a fluke. he still dosent know about that first test lol

November 14th. I had felt "off" all day at work and decided to get a test at the drugstore on the way home. A second line appeared almost immediately, at which point my eyes got blurry, I got dizzy, and nearly fainted. I was so not ready for a baby. I called DH, crying, and said "I think I'm pregnant. But the line is really light." DH came home, looked at it, and said, "that line isn't light". DH was really happy, he was ready for a baby whenever. In my denial, I took a total of 5 tests.

Looking back now, I wouldn't change it for the world. I faced a lot of fears and emotional hurdles because of this, and feel like I have come out a much better person for it.

lada85 · October 2012

We found out Wednesday October 26th. At 5:30 in the morning. We had to wake up early to drive 3 hours to the airport to fly home for DH's grandpas funeral. We usually do a bit of drinking when we go back home and since we had been trying for quite some time with no luck, I thought hey might as well POAS before we leave. Well what did ya know 2 lines!!! So I stopped mid pee and grabbed another test and it said pregnant. I was so excited. DH couldn't believe it finally happened. He mad Em take another one because he thought I was playing a trick on him!

Saturday 11/19. On my way home from work (thru a snowfall) I decided to stop at Walmart to pick up a test. I was late. I was sure I was getting AF and then all those symptoms went away. This day my boobs kinda hurt. But with TTC for so long and 2 m/c, you feel the symptoms every month. I think I was 4 days late. I took a test w/o telling DH. It came up Pregnant. I started shaking and thinking "no, we'll have to miss our family reunion trip" which is every 2 years and a blast (Well worth missing of course!). That was 2 weeks after I had LO. I went out to the living room with the box and tried telling DH that I feel the need to take the test. He was playing a game or something so I didn't get his full attention. Then I finally just showed him the stick.

I remember I layed down with my head in his lap. I was scared. Not scared to have a baby. Scared to have another m/c.

Bucks County Newlywed 808 · October 2012

Got my BFP on Nov. 30th. I had been to the ER on the 16th because I had a burst ovarian cyst and was in a lot of pain. They gave me a preg test then and it came up negative so they gave me pain meds! Still had pain on thee 30th and was at my wit's end so I went to my OB. They gave me the test, nurse told me it was positive, I burst into tears and she said, "was this not good news?" Haha! I'm a crier...what can I say. Waited til DH got home to tell him. Had to go through a lot of tests during pregnancy bc of drugs I took in ER, which turned out fine thank God.

I took a preggo test on Oct. 25th. We had been trying for a month and 1/2. I had about 2.5 hours that morning where I was really nauseous on our kindergarten field trip, so I bought some preggo tests on the way home. Hubs wasn't home until 7:30, but I didn't think I was actually pregnant, so I took the test with low expectations. The pregnant line popped up before the control line did...I started laughing and crying intermittently for at least 30 minutes. I ran out to the store and bought a "baby on board" sign for the car and a card that says "Wow, you did it!" ...except I crossed out the "I" and put "we!" I threw it all in a bag with the preggo test and gave it to hubs when he got home. He immediately wrapped me in a hug and I started crying and laughing all over again. He got really serious - like he had to digest it, and then he couldn't stop smiling.

We found out Thursday, October 27th. That weekend we had planned a dinner for both our parents for my MIL's bday, and we had really hoped to have baby news.

Well, NH had a freak snow storm that Saturday, and my parents still drove 80 miles up for the dinner. We had never planned a dinner for both sets of parents so they were really hoping for baby news. They all got what they wanted and still got home safely during the storm.

The day after Thanksgiving. I had a m/c in Aug and we had been charting. AF was to come that day, but I had plans to go out drinking with some old friends that night, and theres no way that I could live with myself if I was PG and went out drinking. So I took a test (when I did test I liked to wait around 5 days late just to be sure) It was my 1st cycle after the m/c I kept telling myself that its OK to get a Not PG- that I should expect to see that. As I sat there waiting for it (btw it was 6am at my parents house) I had never been more nervous. I thought I might have been- I was hungry more, my boobs were sore, I was drinking milk like crazy- but again i didn't want to get my hopes up. Well the + scared me, I looked at it and had to look again and again. If I had another test with me, I would have taken it!

I went back to DH (who was still sleeping) and told him, I said I took the test cus I wanted to know if I could drink or not. We didn't tell anyone until early Jan (after a 10 week u/s to make sure this one was going to stick).

APendola · October 2012

I took the test exactly 4 weeks after my last period ...so that puts me at November 8th. I was thinking about it all day at work and already had a test at home. I took the test, it was positive. I was taking an online course and I had an assignment due, so I decided to finish that before telling my hubby.

My DH was playing a video game and would NOT turn it off. Haha. I told him I wanted to talk and he kept saying that he would be another minute...eventually he turned it off. He was definitely surprised and gave me a big hug and a kiss.

I cannot believe it has been almost a year since then!
