Woah...BFP

So I really was trying to hold out and test on 11 or 12 dpo but I really couldn't. I dipped a wandfo at 8 dpo and saw a squinter. My DH wasn't convinced even after his nurse wife explained to him how HPTs work and that a line is a line. That night we bought FRERs and digitals for confirmation. I dipped one of each and got another squinter on the FRER but a "not pregnant" on the digital. My DH was disappointed but I knew I wasn't out of the game yet. I got up for work this morning at 5:15 am and decided to dip another digital knowing it'd be about 80% accurate since AF would be due on Monday, if it were coming, and I was 9 dpo. Lo and behold: the hourglass turned into a "pregnant"

What we did: Temping and charting with good timing and using OPKs. I've also been taking prenatals for the last 6 months. We were able to hit 0-3 and 0-1. This was cycle #4 of charting post-BC and our first cycle actually TTC so we are incredibly fortunate.

How I told DH: I was tempted to wake him up at 5:30 am and wave the digital in his face but instead I left the test on the bathroom sink with a note that said, "I told you I saw a line! " He texted me later, "I just went into the bathroom. HOLY SH!T." I took another test when I got home and said, "Still pregnant!" And he's so cute. He researched how big the baby is right now and keeps calling it a poppy seed lol.

Mushy stuff: I've learned so much from this board and I'm happy to be a part of it, and I'm very glad I can be even more a part of it. I hope nothing but good things for everyone here.

Due date of my little poppy seed: December 4, 2013.
