It's been real...BFP :)

Well I guess this is goodbye. I got a squinter yesterday, and today it was dark enough to call it.

What we did: This was our third cycle trying, although I don't think the first one counted because we decided to start trying halfway through the month, and I already knew I probably missed O day. Last cycle I just used OPKs, and this cycle I also started temping. If my O date is correct, we hit O-5, O-3, and O. I wasn't thrilled with that, but I guess it was good enough! I took my OPKs, Pregnitude, and we used PreSeed once.

How I told DH: I had already bought a collar for our dog that says "Big Sister" on it, so yesterday when I took an FRER, and decided it was enough of a line, I put in on her before DH got home from work. Well, normally when we take her collar off it means bath time, and the new one was gigantic compared to the old one. I guess she hated it, because she went and hid under the bed. When DH got home, she still wouldn't come out. He came home and said "Where's Josie?" cuz it's very unusual for her not to greet him at the door. I told him she was hiding because she got a new collar today, and then he told me that he already knew what the collar said because he apparently had been snooping. (He was curious, because he saw the package when it came in the mail, but I wouldn't tell him what I bought). So he said "Did you take a test?" and I said "Yeah. It was positive. But then I took another one and it was negative" I don't know why I said that because he doesn't understand that the digital one is less sensitive, so he was very skeptical. I had to show him internet proof that "A line is a line" because the FRER was so faint. The whole thing was really just a big failure. He believes me now after he saw today's test.

Symptoms: A lot of PMS symptoms- cramps, sore boobs, bloating. The only difference is that they started earlier than normal. But it doesn't make sense to have symptoms at 4DPO before implantation, so I doubt that means anything. And they are all way worse than normal.

Mushy stuff: I am so happy I found the TTGP board. I learned so much from all of you, and you have kept me sane at moments when I really needed it. Thanks for everything, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

PS. This pic is from yesterday. This morning's test was a little darker, but I think I still need a day or two to turn a digital.
