Share your BFP stories!

skio · October 2012

How did you get your BFP? Was it a surprise, or were you actively trying/charting? How did you tell your husband?

And since I assume I'm not the only one with a pee stick obsession, post your BFP stick if you have a pic!

I was charting/temping so I knew I was 9DPO. I decided to test using a Wondfo that morning and thought I saw the faintest of faint lines. DH couldn't see it. He left for work and I went to the store and picked up some FRERs. I came home and couldn't wait till the next day to test so I did and sure enough, there was a pretty clear positive. I texted DH and told him to call me when he got a chance. He called and I told him the news!

Not that exciting. Now for an exciting story, my loss BFP was kinda nuts. It's all in my blog though and long so I don't want to post it from my phone.

mmdd20 · October 2012

It was a bit of a surprise for us. We weren't actively trying, but had stopped 'preventing' in the middle of September. I wasn't charting, but based on an ovulation calendar we DTD a couple days earlier than I should have been ovulating (I know those are way off), so I wasn't expecting it. I took a test the morning I was supposed to start my period and got my BFP! It took a lot less time than I thought, but we are over the moon. Of course I took like 4 more tests after that (why not finish the boxes off, right??)

MoBlair · October 2012

DH and I decided in August to start trying for baby#4. I keep track of my cycle, but I don't chart. Anywho, I told him it was too late in August for us to get a BFP before my sept period. After my period came and left. We starting trying for baby #4 and boom BFP on 10/1. My DH thinks he is a super star(LOL) I just called and told him hey you hit the mark! I was worried it would take a long time after reading these boards. Plus I'm 37 and overweight.

Fuzzy21 · October 2012

Pretty uninteresting. I was charting/temping, so I started POAS around 9 dpo. I knew that was too early for me to get a positive, and so I got a few negatives in a row before I ended up with a BFP on 11dpo. I did see a few faint lines on the wondfros and thought I was pg, but had to wait a few days to confirm.

Telling DH was pretty uneventful too. He's still too nervous to get excited about this pregnancy, until we get confirmation that everything is okay in a few weeks, so we both took the BFP in stride. It's awesome, and we're happy, but not really super excited just yet, so we didn't take any POAS pics.

We have a pretty good story. Sunday, Oct. 7th was our five-year wedding anniversary, and was also 8DPO. We left early that morning for a road trip around New England, destination being a B&B in Maine. I secretly took a couple wondfos with me and planned to test on our last morning there, 11DPO.

In the car at 8DPO, I was having cramping and dizziness. I don't usually get cramps until the day AF comes, so I thought it was a little strange. I should say that I had a reeeeally good feeling about this cycle. It was my fifth cycle charting and everything just looked so RIGHT on my chart. And on top of my own 'feeling,' DH kept saying he thought I was pregnant. I know it sounds silly, but his gut feeling carried a lot of weight with me, because last time I was pregnant he had a feeling, and he was right. All the previous cycles trying, no gut feeling from him.

So, we're in Maine, we wake up the morning after our Anniversary (9DPO), H gets in the shower, I take my temp and see a big rise. More than half a degree higher than my usual 2WW temps. I tried not to dwell on it and we went about our day. Did some shopping, had lunch at a lobster shack by the ocean, split a bottle of wine, went for a walk. We went back to our room in the late afternoon with plans to freshen up and go out for dinner and drinks. I think the wine lifted the last inkling of patience I was holding on to, and I snuck a wondfo in the bathroom with me without H knowing. I watched it for a minute and saw nothing and got pretty discouraged, but decided to put it aside and check in a couple minutes. When I checked it, I saw a faint, but very there line. H had run to the car to grab something and I practically started hyperventilating; I was shaking and tears were close, but I held it together. I sat on the bed and pretended nothing was afoot, and H came back in and poured himself a drink. He asked me to try it and I said no. He said, "Come on, tell me if you like it." I smiled and said, "I can't." He was like a deer in headlights for a moment there, lol. Then he said, "You tested? You're pregnant?" And I lost it. I nodded and hugged him and was crying like a baby and started spewing all my recent thoughts about how I knew it and he knew it and I had cramps and dizziness and blah blah.

It was a lovely Anniversary present and I'm glad I was able to have a couple glasses of my very favorite wine before finding out, haha. The news made the rest of the trip even more special and it was fun to celebrate the two big events together.

Here's my 9DPO BFP:

BLT20051 · October 2012

We weren't really trying but we've been using charting TTA for a couple years now. Last few months I've stopped temping after ovulation because we'd avoid the whole time so I knew it wouldn't happen. Well last month I thought I ovulated while OOT for work so I quit temping. Day I got home we DTD and bam. The day my period was supposed to arrive I just knew it. We had plans with friends so I told him I wanted to test before we left. Tada BFP and I was "on antibiotics" and couldn't drink that night. Haha.

ConnieRob · October 2012

We'd been trying for 17 cycles and I had pretty much given up hope of conceiving without medical intervention. I had made an appointment with an RE to begin testing to see what was wrong and what could be done (ins covers testing and treatment of any underlying medical cause for infertility but not AI, IUI or IVF). I had accepted the fact that I probably would not be having any more children.

My previous AF was only 2 days and super light and the one before that was wonky too so I was thinking there was a hormonal issue. I had been achy and crampy for about a week so I was just waiting for AF to show up.

It was mid-day on CD 30 so I was technically 2 days late (usually run 28-32 day cycles). I thought I'd POAS just for fun but all I had was an OPK, 2 dark lines (IC test) showed up immediately. I googled it to see what that meant and found that the LH and HCG hormones are essentially the same so either I was ovulating again (and happened to hit my LH surge dead on) or I was pregnant.

I was hysterical. I called DH at work and he could not understand a word I was saying. I finally calmed down enough to say "I think I'm pregnant". He said "Why are you crying, that's good news!" I explained that I wasn't sure because I had used an OPK. He said go out and buy a digi and call me back ASAP!

I ran to walmart got a digi, stopped and got DS an ice cream cone and DH is calling me wondering what the test said. I told him to give me 10 more minutes. Got home, tested and positive came right up. This time I was less hysterical when I called him back.

skio · October 2012

Amazing, Connie!

ash1980 · October 2012

I was 10 DPO and had been spotting since 7 DPO so I thought I was out. However, I went in Target before a 2 hour car ride back home from visiting our family, and I peed on the stick in the Target bathroom (shameful). It didn't start turning immediately, so I tossed it in the bag thinking I was out. I pulled it out in the car a couple of minutes later and it was positive...we are so happy since we've been trying for awhile!

Wish82 · October 2012

I was charting and temping for 3 months, the first one we initially avoided. I tested at 9 DPO, which was supposed to my annual appt (ended up being rescheduled due to the Dr's family emergency). I had told myself I'd test that morning, just in case. BFN. I woke up super early 2 days later, and after an hour of hemming and hawing in bed, I finally got up to POAS. After 2 min, nothing. I checked again at 3 min, expecting it be negative, but there was a faint little line. I paced the house while trying to get ready for work. Before I left, I went upstairs and whispered in H's ear,"I took a test this morning and it was positive."

We were both about to explode all day at work. When I got home, I took another Wondfo and a digital. The digital popped up almost immediately.

gymnast16 · October 2012

Our story isn't really that exciting. We decided we were going to start trying in October so I stopped my b/c in September so it gave us a month for it to wear off. Not really thinking about it we dtd a few times and we were joking how funny it would be if we got pregnant before October. Well The last weekend of September we were driving and I got really sick, I knew instantly that it was nausea from being pregnan and not car sicknesst. I was going to wait until my period was suppose to return on October 8th to test, but I was to impatient and tested the Friday before. When hubby got home from work it was sitting on the bathroom counter and we both were in complete shock that it only took us 1 month of not really trying to get pregnant.

bearfootz · October 2012

skio - your story made me tear up a bit. Darn hormones.

We were actively ttc and I had been taking meds to help me ovulate. My cycles are a little long but I tested 12 dpo and when it was a BFN I started thinking that maybe I didn't want to go through the stress of ttc again. DH asked if maybe it was too soon to test but I didn't think so. I was thinking that I should just take a break - even though we hadn't been trying that long - and work on losing weight and we could start up again in a few months.

Then two days later when I still didn't have AF I decided to test again. I took a wondfro test and got a faint line. Forgetting that this was a hpt and not an opk - I was discouraged. But as the day go on I started coming to my senses. So I called the RE and told them I had a faint line - they said a line is a line and sent in the order for the blood work. I was too nervous all day at work so at lunch I ran to the drugstore and bought another hpt and tested in the bathroom at work. (I know, weird) Definately more of a line! Went for the blood test after work but wouldn't hear back for 24 hrs since it was at a different lab. When I got home from work I took another test and while I was changing into comfy clothes my DD came in and grabbed the test so I told her to go show her daddy. DH was just sitting down for dinner and saw her walk out with the test and looked at me with raised eyebrows and said "what is that?". Then he gave me a big hug. But I don't think we believed it until the blood test came back.

Actually, I don't think we really believed it until I hd the u/s.

AlllisG · October 2012

This month was our second cycle on Clomid. With the first cycle, I ovulated but didn't get pregnant. I was expecting the same this time too. I was actually really discouraged because almost everyone I know is pregnant or just had a baby in the last few months and we've been trying for two years exactly. I got another pregnancy announcement on Monday and it made me really sad. I decided just to test and get it over with even though I wasn't expecting my period for two more days. After I tested, I left the bathroom for the three minutes. After the time was up, I went into the bathroom to throw the test away (I was positive it was negative.) The positive line was as dark as the test line. I texted my husband at school with the picture of the positive and said, "congratulations daddy!" But I still didn't really believe it so I took two more tests and they all were positive!

dmlk413 · October 2012

We started trying in April and I started charting in August. This cycle I knew I wanted to wait until I was at 12DPO before I tested. On the day, I tested with a wondfo and at first thought I didn't see anything. I looked again and noticed the faintest shadow of a line. I tested again and saw the same thing. I went and bought a FRER and a digital and took both at 13DPO. I got a very dark second line on the FRER and 'pregnant' popped up within a minute on the digital. I got back in bed and whispered to DH 'I have something to tell you'. It was totally surreal!

clarec216 · October 2012

We were not trying, it was a complete (and wonderful) surprise. My period was a few days late, but I figured it was because I had been exercising like crazy. The thought was in the back of my head that I might be pregnant, but I was in denial. Finally my period was 7 days late so I went out and bought a test. Almost instantly BAM two super dark blue lines- there was no mistaking it. I started sobbing uncontrollably on the toilet thinking "OMG I'm going to be a mom!"

I went up to my husband a few minutes later and said "so I have exciting news..." He said "Oh did you finally get your period?" ..."No. We're having a baby!" He got the biggest smile and said "Oh wow!! I'm so happy beautiful! I'm gonna be a dad!" It was the best reaction I could have asked for. He's been so supportive through all of this and now we're really excited to be parents.

The 2 blue lines that changed my life:

bridetobe920 · October 2012

We had been trying for a few months, and I really felt like I was pregnant. I tested, however, and got a negative. I was so bummed, but as the days went on, and I still didn't have my AF, I decided to test again and got a BFP! I just knew I was!

I already had a "Big Sister" shirt ready, and after telling DD and recording it (i wanted her to be the first person I told), I put the shirt on her and had her walk in to show daddy. He teared up, and was (is) thrilled!

Luthien1015 · October 2012

Mine's sort of...meh. Last year on our anniversary (Sept. 27th) my husband gave me a pair of baby shoes as his way of saying that should we get pregnant, he wouldn't run for the hills. I stopped taking my birth control, and decided to let nature take its course. My husband said he didn't want to track anything or 'make a science' out of it, but after a couple months I got discouraged. Over the summer I got an app on my phone that would track my cycle and started casually keeping an eye on things, but not taking temperatures or charting or anything like that. Last month I noticed that my phone said I would be ovulating on our anniversary, so after my husband and I had our romantic George Webb's dinner (don't knock it) I basically told him to drop trou and hang on.

I didn't think it'd work, and I didn't feel sick. I just didn't start my period when I was supposed to, and after a few days I picked up a test on my way to work. I took it fully expecting to see a 'Not pregnant', but when it turned up otherwise I sort of flipped out and called him right away. It wasn't the best way to tell him, probably, what with both of us being in our offices, but I couldn't wait. I don't know why I took the test at work, but I regret nothing.

OttersBite · October 2012

These stories are amazing! We have been trying since June of last year, it took us about six months to get pregnant the first two times so after the most recent m/c around Labor Day we decided to keep doing our thing as I was positive that it would take us another several months to conceive again. Well we went to the beach for a vacation and my period never showed, I didn't get my hopes up because the first period after a m/c can take a little while... I waiting until the Monday morning that I was returning to work to test just to be sure and there it was, two lines! It's our third rodeo so this time I just texted DH and he replied with 'Awesome'.

We are still in limbo waiting to see what's going to happen but I'm trying to look on the bright side. This has been the worst year of my life so I'm not really sure how to feel yet. Our first m/c was devastating (the whole 'it won't happen to me' mentality) and happened on Christmas Eve last year. My sweet dog died suddenly from cancer in June, I had him for eleven years and it just killed me. I got my second BFP shortly after he passed and I thought maybe there was this little light in the distance and things were going to turn around for us... Cue second m/c. I've not been in a good place since then and we are just praying that things might work out this time. Sorry that got long but it kinda feels good to get it out!

+Preppy+ · October 2012

Kind of a surprise. Kind of. We'd been using condoms since I BF and it's either an IUD, condoms or mini pill. For reasons too long, condoms were the winner. The only problem is that you have to have willpower. We had a whoops.

I took a test either a day before or the day I was supposed to get AF, and it was negative. I just figured I'd get AF soon and that would be that. Another week went by and I still didn't have it. I took a test just to be sure. This time it was positive!I was kind of wanting to wait a couple more months but everything happens for a reason right? We wanted our kids to be pretty close anyway.

DH was giving DS a bath, and I just walked in with the stick and told him, "I think I'm pregnant." I then asked if he could get me a brown paper bag lol.

PurpleFrog15 · October 2012

These stories are so fun to read. Mine is much less glamorous.

We had been trying for over a year when we were referred to a specialist. This was our first round of IUI. My husband was so good with my shots, as that was his job. Two weeks later, I went in for a beta test. My friend told me if its positive they call earlier in the day and negative they call later. I was spotting and feeling cramps so I was sure AF was coming. Plus, I hadn't heard anything from them yet.

At 5:30, the nurse finally called me and said, did you cheat? I was like, no. She was like, congratulations, you're pregnant. I about fell out of my chair at the salon where I was getting my haircut.

I went home and took a test because I still didn't believe it and it was positive. So, when my husband got home he asked about the test and I showed him the stick. He was so excited and just kept saying, we're gonna have a baby, I'm so excited. Melted my heart.

PurpleCobra1 · October 2012

I won't say we were actively "trying", but we had stopped using BC at the beginning of August. I felt very lightheaded/nauseous during work one day and had some mild cramping (guessing about 6 dpo), so I decided that I would test in the next few days as the symptoms felt VERY familiar. I took a HPT on about 9dpo and didn't see a line show up after a couple minutes so I put it back in the package and under the sink. I felt like crap for the next couple days and decided to POAS again, but before I got the new one out, I looked at the one I had done a few days prior and there was a very faint line! I peed on about 4 more after that just to confirm Big Smile all positive!

A little background: My DS is from a previous relationship (not planned) and my SO and I's DD was a total baby oops, and we'd only known each other a couple of months when I found out I was pregnant with her, so our reaction to a positive pregnancy test has historically been a little terrifying.

I had to wait a week to tell SO, he was out of town, and I didn't want to tell him over the phone. I ended up drawing him a picture of a stick figure with huge boobies and a big ol' belly labeled "Me" and wrote "You did this.....again". I folded it up, gave it to him, and then walked out of the room to give him some "process" time. A couple of minutes later he came into the kitchen, gave me a huge hug, and said, "I'm so, so happy, still terrified, but happy". He's had a sh!t eating grin on his face ever since, and is going crazy because he wants to tell EV-ER-Y-ONE and I won't let him yet Zip it!

WannaBeAMommy13 · October 2012

Hello!

Well, when DH and I decided to start trying I was already pretty discouraged because I had previously been on the Depo shot. My next shot had been scheduled for April but I skipped it and got on the pill to regulate my cycle so I could start keeping track (Depo had AF alllll over the place). After the first month of being on the pill I just got fed up with taking BC no matter the reason and stopped. At the end of May DH and I decided to start 'not trying/not preventing'. DH was still a tidbit skeptical about the idea of being a daddy so we just decided to go with the flow, no charting, no thinking about it really, just taking it a day at a time. A couple months after NTNP we'd be in Walmart or something and walk by the baby clothes and hed make little comments like "We should get that if we have a son/daughter." or "You would look so cute pregnant" Thats when he decided maybe we should really start trying. Then he said "I'm thinking October will be our magical month." I was excited but skeptical because I thought it might take a while for Depo to leave my system so I estimated a while before we'd be successful.

**Almost done promise!**

So in September, according to an awesome app I had on my phone, the days we DTD danced all around when I ovulated so I was thinking there was a good chance of success. That week we went home to visit family and my mother in law asked out of the blue "so hows my grandchild comin along?" I was like, what? idk, were working on it" She said she could tell. I just brushed it off because I didnt want to get my hopes up. A week passed and I didn't feel any different...which was weird because I ALWAYS get every PMS symptom you can think of exactly one week before AF like clockwork! No sore boobs, no bloating, no moodiness, nothing! DH thought it was weird because he knows to stand clear and bring out the chocolate and ice cream! This time, I was totally pleasant! Two days before AF was to show her oh so ugly face I had a dream about fish. I caught so many fish I couldnt hold them all! They were the size of small children! And you know what they say about fish dreams! Funny thing is, I had the dream and normally in my family my grandmother has the dream and shes right EVERY time! Well...the next day I couldnt wait anymore and it was only one day before AF so I figured what the heck? I told DH I'm going to test and to be ready with chocolate and ice cream if things go south. He just smiled at me. I tested and waited for the dreaded negative when almost instantly I got my BFP!!!!! I just stood there staring like a crazy person! I came out and showed DH and he just smiled and laughed! His prediction was right! I found out on Oct 5th. I texted a pic of the test to my parents, in laws and my absolute best friend (who happens to be 7months pg today...which had me super jealous before DH and I started trying). and my mom almost lost it! My mother in law just squealed because her prediction was right too!

After all of the initial excitement my mom tells me that she thought I was pregnant a week before I told her, the same time my mother in law predicted. Then my dad says he thought it too! He said I just 'looked pregnant' How on earth does your dad know before you do?? haha so thats my oh so very long story!

Abenay · October 2012

We were actively trying and every month I obsessed over tests and got more and more discouraged with each negative I received. This time I decided to just forget about it and try to relax. I took a test three days before period was due , on a whim, and partillay because I had no pms symptoms , Nothing, nada! I was so surprised when two pink lines showed up, I grabbed my keys and went out for more tests, lol!! True POAS addict here!

Im 34, have two girls ages 8 and 10. My husband and I conceived after I was put through Lupron for endometriosis last year and he had his previous vasectomy reversed in April ( a huge mistake we made at a young age, but glad reversal worked).

This is amazing!! So happy and blessed!!!! A huge congrats to all!

Saritaota614 · October 2012

I'm sitting her fighting back tears reading these!

DH and I had been trying since April 2011 after nuvaring and had basically given up. I did CM and charting and my cycles were all over the place. I was getting ready to schedule an appointment to see what the next step was.

DH happened to see this little puppy run in front of him and stopped to get him (because he was far too small and he knew he would die if not) and of course I could not refuse the pup regardless of the expenses. So we pretty well threw TTGP to the back of our minds to focus on the new pup..

So much for that!! HAHA! And I couldn't be more thrilled!!

I called DH from work Oct. 4th and said I would be a minute late. For days DH had been telling me that I was emotional and he thought my boobs were getting bigger. So I went to get a test. I couldn't take it any longer I would POAS in the AM. We ate dinner and I said screw it! I'm gonna try it now.

Sure enough 2 VERY dark pink lines!!! YAY!! I stood in the bathroom and just cried (happy tears) for a minute then ran out to the living room and showed DH. He gave me a death grip hug and said, "So I'm gonna be a daddy? You're really pregnant?" He couldn't wipe the smile from his face! Best moment of my life so far!

RIngReady · October 2012

DH and I had been charting for almost 10 months and knew I had a really short Luteal phase and figured we would be making and appointment to a fertility specialist in a few weeks. I was 6 DPO and started spotting which is usually how AF starts so I thought we were out and told DH the news. I then spotted for another 4 days, but never started a real flow so on a whim I I decided to take a test. DH was downstairs with his parents as they had come to visit us that weekend. I saw a faint line and thought I was seeing things-or figured it was wrong or a chemical pregnancy or something. I hid the pg test in my sock drawer. I took another test the next 5 days in a row and they all came out positive-and my sock drawer was getting full.

Finally after 3 weeks of testing almost daily I told DH by giving him a baby frame with an appleseed in it to represent baby's size. He was completely shocked!

DeAndraM01 · October 2012

Ahh, I need to take a picture. I have more pee sticks! Lol

I was trying originally but then I stopped so I wasn't charting or anything when I took my test.

I had been feeling nauseous and such for about a week or so, and one day while we were out I brought it up to my husband and he was laughed and said you're probably pregnant.

I was like you think so? He said he was kidding but then I decided to take a test.

I was so excited that I didn't want to wait until we got home and I took the test in the Target bathroom lol.

It said positive and I came out of a public bathroom dancing up and down and screaming my head off with everyone looking like I was crazy.

My DH got so happy when he saw my face and we had a mini celebration going on in front of the Target bathroom's lol. Kissing and hugging and all that haha.

We looked like insane people but I was just so happy about it!

stephb7i · October 2012

I love reading everyone's stories. My BFP was a complete shock as we were not planning on having any more children we have 3 beautiful children. I am very regular so started wondering when AF didn't arrive on time. I bought a frer, tested at 10 PM because I couldn't wait until the morning to test. The two lines popped up immediately. I came out and held up 4 fingers for DH. : He was/is thrilled....and I have to say that over a week ago he said out of the blue that he thought I was pregnant! So strange.

AbbeyGirlBride · October 2012

I'd been waiting more than a few years (not exactly patiently) for DH's blessing to start trying. Work, money, you know, all of those reasons got in the way. He finally agreed we should just get a move on.

We hadn't ever taken a real vacation for ourselves, so we planned a trip to Europe for our 5 year anniversary. I'd been stressed living in LA, and one day after a particularly bad commute, I shouted that I was so stressed, I could never get pregnant here. So we thought we'd try on our vacation. I don't know anything about charting, but I had a iPhone app that recorded all of my periods and predicted my ovulation. Also had an ovulation test that my friend bought and never used. We had a great vacation, but I got a little sick over there and needed to get antibiotics. I figured it wasn't going to happen (but we tried anyway).

Once we got home and I got back to work, I was freaking out over the 2WW. I was sitting at my desk earlier this week and getting ready for AF and disappointment. I kept feeling cramps and running off to the bathroom, but no AF. Plus, the ladies were pretty sore! I had planned to wait for my 3rd missed day before testing, but couldn't stand it. Ran out and got a test, and ran into the bathroom before I even got to tell DH that I was home. Got the BFP and started crying/laughing. I can't believe our plan worked! He was very happy.

Went to the dr. the next day to confirm. I had just been there a week before for my annual, so when I saw her again, she exclaimed "that was fast!"

Now I'm just happy, trying to stay calm, trying to keep it a secret, and hoping that this little one sticks.

ashlo618 · October 2012

We started trying in June 2011 on our honeymoon, I had been on BC for 6 months and in that time only had one period. I had my yearly OB/GYN check up a few weeks before the wedding and brought up my concerns of not having a regular period ( this was the case before BC back she I was a teenager as well ). She ran some blood tests and a pap and my pap was normal but some of my levels were off and she said that I more than likely have PCOS and would need to consult a doctor when I decided to have children.

After 3 months of obsessively charting and seeing nada, nothing, no ovulation, no period, I called an RE in the area and she agreed to see us even though we hadn't been trying the full year because I clearly wasn't ovulating. I had to induce a period at CD 115 and get a HSG and u/s and bw done then we did 3 rounds of clomid plus trigger shot, which I had horrible side effects on, 3 rounds of femera plus trigger shot, the. 2 rounds of injectables with IUI thrown in for good measure although DH's boys all were rocks stars. Mixed in was all the "extra" stuff like prim rose, pom juice, pineapple core etc .After only one month being successful with a very early loss 4w1d, we were given an unexplained diagnosis since my not ovulating was not the only problem it seemed.

We chose to move to IVF rather then spend more money on treatments that weren't working, we are pretty much 100% OOP. It was a hard decision to make, I am 26, healthy and we had no clear reason why I couldn't get pregnant. I have amazing in laws who offered to pay for IVF, we would have taken a major blow finically if we had to pay the $15,000 it cost. I also had to have a lap before they would do IVF to rule out endo and some other things which all came back clean. So after healing for surgery, I took multiple pills a day, gave myself my 2x a day shots and went through the exhausting ER and ET process. We decided to put back 2 embryos to give us the best chance of success.

At 5 days past my 5 day transfer I caved and peed on a stick even though I promised DH I wouldn't and there is was, 2 beautiful pink lines. He was in the kitchen and I ran in holding it and crying. He started to say sorry and it's just too early, I pushed him back and shoved it in his face and was like no you fool these are happy tears, he was so excited I swear he hugged me for 10 minutes and wouldn't let go. I have been nervous about a loss because we worked so hard to get here and the thought of doing it all again seems impossible but so far everything is perfect and I just can't believe it really finally happened and I'm going to get to be a mama, the one thing in the world I have always wanted

We weren't actively trying but we weren't preventing either. I had a REALLY emotional day. I cried/melted down about everything. I was only one day late but tested anyway and well, there was the faint little line.

Called DH at work for the second time and told him I was KU. I'm bad at that.

I had been trying since October of last year. I was charting, and this was my first Clomid cycle. I had BFN's on 10 and 12 DPO. When my temp was still up on that Sunday, I tested and got my BFP!

I gave DH a cute onesie, and showed him the pee stick. I have the cuter/longer version of the story on my blog. Big Smile

We started trying in August. I got a BFP on sunday, so I've known for about a week. I was feeling off.. Tired and hot. I took a test while my SO was out and it instantly went positive..5 days before AF was due. I made a card that said Hi Dad! I can't wait to meet you! Approx. June 21, 2013, and wrapped it up in a plain gift bag with tissue paper. I went to meet him, we did our errands, then when we were on our driveway I put my phone on record and pulled out the bag. I told him I had a gift for him because I want him to know how much I love and appreciate him. He opened it and his reaction was priceless, and I will have it captured on video forever! I took a second test a few days ago.. The clearblue digital kind this time.. just to be extra sure and sure enough it read pregnant 3 plus weeks. We are so excited for our first baby!

I would also like to add congratulations to everyone for their great news! Especially those who have had a harder time getting their BFP, your stories make me realize how truly fortunate we all are to be able to see those two little lines.. and some of yours brought me to tears to experience the joy and surprise with you! I swear it isn't just the hormones!
