BFP ~ I hope

skinnykate9 · December 2012

I guess it's time to officially announce that I got my first BFP! I tested Christmas morning (12DPO) and got this super faint line on a FRER. I've tested every morning since then and continue to get faint lines on FRER. I did take a digi at 14DPO, and it came back negative. I'm hoping that it was just less sensitive. I was hesitant to announce because the lines are still so faint. As of today I am 16DPO, and my temps are staying up, so I decided to go ahead and share. I plan to call my doctor on next week and ask them to confirm. I am nervous about an etopic because I have some scaring on one of my tubes.

Estimated Due Date: September 5, 2013

What we did: This was our 16th month and 8th cycle TTC. We hit O-2, O-1, & O this month. I had my HSG at the beginning of this cycle, so I'm wondering if that helped clear out my tubes. I also started metformin mid-cycle this month, but I doubt that made any difference this soon. We also used preseed.

Symptoms: Not a lot. My boobs are pretty sore/heavy, but that's about it.

How I told DH: Nothing exciting, he's been by my side all week analyzing lines. I want to tell my mom today. It is her birthday, and I was thinking about buying a grandma birthday card. I would want her support anyway if something went wrong, so I'm not too worried about telling her this early. We will probably tell my SIL on New Year's Eve because they announced at Christmas that they are due with their second on August 10th. It would be so cool to have two babies so close together

The mushy stuff: I'm so grateful I found you ladies. I spent more than a year TTC without the wealth of information you have provided. I wish I would have found you sooner because I think I would probably have gotten my BFP sooner. I had no idea I was so clueless before.

I'm still really scared that this won't stick. My lines have gotten slightly darker since this picture, but not a ton. Hopefully the doctor can ease my fears next week.

Good luck to all of you. I hope to see you on first tri soon!
