So with ds i didn't test until kind of late because i didn't think i could be pregnant from having sex 5 days before ovulation despite my pretty triphasic chart. When my temp was still up at 15dpo i told dh to grab a test since he worked near the dollar store and i had a longer commute. he waited impatiently outside the bathroom door and when i excitedly walked out of the bathroom door we both started jumping up and down. lol.

dd was much more anticlimatic. lol. i tested on a sun morning and got a line so faint i couldn't tell if it were an evap line. i decided to wait until Wednesday morning to test again to give the hcg more time to build up and didn't tell dh because crazy enough he was ready for another baby and didn't want to get his hopes up. well i woke up at 1am wed morning and couldn't sleep. I took the test and the line was really faint but looked like a bfp.i woke dh up and showed him the test saying i was pregnant. he looked at the test, said he didn't see a second line and went back to bed. lol. it took.another week before i got a dark enough second line to convince dh it was really happening.

I was so used to seeing negative so I threw it away as soon as the liquid went past. I threw it away.

My husband went to the bathroom much later and saw it in the trash. He came and found me and asked me if there was something I needed to tell him. I had no idea what he was talking about. I tested it the next morning and got an instant positive this time. I called the dr and started to set up appointments

So really, my husband told me I was pregnant

LatteLady5 · February 2014

With DD I was sure there was no way I could be pregnant. I'd been married less than a month and we hadn't planned for kids for at least 3 years. I had a horrible metallic taste in my mouth (like I'd been sucking on pennies) and googled it and it showed it could be a sign of pregnancy. I was still in denial. After a couple of hours (on and off) of googling "signs of pregnancy" DH and I went to Walmart and got a couple of tests. It showed pregnant immediately. It took a few weeks for it to actually sink in.

With DS we were TTC and I tested negative the month before. As soon as I stopped breastfeeding the following month I was late and grabbed a few tests from the dollar tree. I wanted to surprise DH with something cute and clever but I just ended up testing and telling him it was a positive test haha

jensriot · February 2014

DD1 - 1st cycle off bcp and we were so clueless and excited to start trying. I tested too early with DH there. No charting or anything, but too early. The next day, I was home alone and just could not resist. I tested and the second line showed up faster than the control line. I almost vomited and then though "Oh God, what have we done?!" I was happy and terrified and didn't want to tell DH on the phone. I called my sister because I knew she could keep a secret. DH was in disbelief later.

DD2 - 7 cycles, I had a CP, so positive pregnancy tests didn't bring on the same excitement as the first time around. I waited until a bit closer to my expected period date. I tested every day for a week, just happy to see the lines getting darker instead of fading.

DS - 1st cycle off bcp and I figured we were out, just because it was the first cycle. I was getting my first ever yeast infection, so I took a test before going to the OB. I saw the faintest of lines. They did a test and bloodwork in the office because I was there anyway.

joyfullyfound · February 2014

DD was a... whoops, haha. DH and I had been married less than a year and weren't ready to start trying yet... we were planning on waiting at least 2-4 years, actually. I was on the pill, so I still don't really know how it happened, but I missed my period and it didn't even occur to me I could be KU. I went to the doctor because I was all worried it was some serious medical condition, and he had me pee in a cup and told me I was pg. The only emotion I felt was total, total joy, and we've never regretted having kids earlier than we planned.

Number 2 was less dramatic. We started ttc so that they'd be 2-ish years apart and I had an early miscarriage the month we started trying. Then it took 4 more months to conceive again, with me being convinced each of those months that I was pregnant, haha. TTC is seriously stressful...

lyingliarlies · February 2014

we just had our first month trying Clomid & i was getting all antsy, figuring it was early but possible for a positive. DH was in the shower, getting ready for us to go out to dinner w/ friends to celebrate a birthday. i got the BFP & was floored. so flipping excited & in disbelief. i waited til DH turned off the water & opened the shower curtain (needless to say this felt like HOURS were passing!) & told him, "hey hon, we're going out for a friend's birthday tonight....but we're going to have another birthday to celebrate in 9 months." i think he said "you're shitting me?!?" we got to the restaurant early & i ordered a virgin margarita (me not having a drink would be a dead giveaway.) the next morning i got a darker line but DH still couldn't believe it til i went to the OB to confirm.

caybeh · February 2014

With DS, I promised DH that I would wait to test until I missed my period. The morning my period was supposed to come, I kept going to the bathroom expecting my period and nothing. I was driving DH crazy, so he told me it just go test already. It was positive right away.

With my miscarriage baby, I woke up at like 6 am and tested. I thought I saw a line, but wasn't sure. I bought another test and tested later that day and there was a faint positive. I alluded to it on the phone with DH on his way home from work. He told me to tell him in person. Showed him the test. Took another test a few days later and it was a very clear positive.

With this pregnancy, I was on our first cycle that we could try after our miscarriage. I had been using OPKs for like 20 days with no positive in sight. I decided to take a pregnancy test on my birthday just for fun. It was a faint, very faint positive. DH wasn't as convinced, so I took another test and a digital the next day. Both were positive. I showed DH the test and he realized it was real. Best birthday present ever!

chardonnay24 · February 2014

Both of my kids were unplanned.

I was originally told that I couldn't have kids without help, so we were not preventing a pregnancy, although after 2+ years off birth control, it didn't seem likely to happen. I had just started grad school and hadn't had a period in about 3 months (not unusual for me). However, my boobs started hurting, which was a sure sign that it was on it's way. We were about to go on vacation to celebrate my sister's 21st birthday and I calculated that it would show up right smack dab in the middle of our beach trip. Lo and behold, it never showed. When I talked to my BFF after we got back, she encouraged me to test even though I was positive that I couldn't be pregnant. I used a digital and sure enough, "pregnant" popped up in about 20 seconds. I went out in the living room and screamed, "WTF is this?!?!" at my husband. We were very excited, though, since we had always wanted kids.

This one is a little different. We were preventing (2 methods!) since we were 99% sure we were OAD. My nephew was talking about me being pregnant and having another baby on Christmas Eve. I didn't think much of it, but all his talked freaked me out. I took a test the day after Christmas and it was positive. I called my husband and told him, and I was pretty calm even though I was freaking the fuck out. It's been a lot harder accepting this one, but hopefully we'll get there eventually.

Disneygeek77 · February 2014

WIth DD- I got a BFP and told my best friend and coworker. I didn't tell my DH because I had a cute way of telling him in my head for years and wanted to wait until that night. Well, on my lunch break I started spotting. I was very upset and called my DR. They told me to come in to have some blood taken. I then called my DH and told him everything and that if he can take off a little early, I would appreciate it because I wanted some support when I went to the Dr's office.

With DS- I had a feeling I was pregnant because it suddenly hurt to breastfeed DD. Sure enough I got a BFP right away. I left the test on the toilet tank for DH to see when he got home from work. WHen he found it he had a huge smile on his face.

mandymack · February 2014

With my 1st, I stopped taking BC the week of our wedding and decided we'd just go for it naturally, however and whenever it was going to happen was fine with us. We had no clue what we were doing nor when I ovulated and we didn't care: no taking temps, no charting, we didn't even know what that was! We got pregnant two months later (the night of my office Christmas Party!) and I found out on New Year's Day when I was flipping through my work calendar, planning my next audit, and realized I had no period marked down for December. Bought a test and it turned pink before I finished peeing on it!

With my 2nd, I was on BC and we had no plans to TRY to get pregnant. It was a very traumatic time in my life with friends and family and the stress had my periods all over the place. I was a mess! I got pregnant while we were in Las Vegas for our anniversary trip in August and found right after Emily's 4th birthday party. We were at our annual block party and the margarita my neighbor brought me made me want to vomit. I knew immediately. So did my husband.

It was THE BEST way to have a baby, with both kids.

zbeesma86 · February 2014

It was Christmas Eve. I had worked super late the night before & woke up to pee. My period was late by like 4 days & I didn't think much of it. DH had set out a pregnancy test for me to take in the am. It was 6am. I peed on it & set it on the bathroom counter in my sleeply haze. Went back to bed. Woke up around 10 & went to pee again. Looked at the stick and it said pregnant. I was like no effing way?! Went in the bedroom & jumped on DH & showed him the stick. He jumped out of bed & we hugged & kissed & then we started that whole adventure

KatieKim0815 · February 2014

With Ds1 we had just celebrated New Years and had gone for he nutcracker. I was so dizzy and under te weather! One morning I kissed DH (who was my bf at the time) and told him I would o out to get us hot cocoas and a test. It was blustering snow! I came back, peed and it was an instant positive! DH squealed, hugged me and screamed "let's go buy baby books" and we did!

With Da2 I was scared as I had two miscarriages in te four months prior to my bfp! Funnily enough that day DH and I had a convo about whether we should stop trying for a bit budget-wise. I decided to pee on a cheapie while he was at work. When we came home I said it was time to budget for mat leave!!!

With this pregnancy I took an opk hen I thought I could be ovulating, my ovaries felt funny! It came up positive. I had never seen a positce opk! High triumph for a Pcos girl! So I said to DH "wanna wing it"??? 14 days later - positive!

ASullivan1231 · February 2014

DH and I were married 3 years and we had been hemming and hawing about when we would start trying to conceive. We had been unofficially trying on and off since February - meaning I was off birth control, but sometimes DH would pull out and sometimes he wouldn't (so silly, I know!) We really liked our lives, and although we wanted at least one kid, we kept getting scared about how life would change.

We were out on a Saturday in early Sept '12 for dinner celebrating our 3rd anniversary. Right before dinner I'd found out an acquaintance was pregnant and it made me feel like I'm really ready to be pregnant. At the end of dinner we toasted and I said, maybe at our 4th anniversary I'll be pregnant! DH said, "It will happen when it happens."

On the ride home I suddenly thought I was pregnant. God knows why, but it hadn't occurred to me once before that night that I was over a week late with my period. I didn't say anything to DH. When I got home I took a pregnancy test, but I really felt I knew the answer, and I was right. I was pregnant.

I took it out of the bathroom and showed DH. We hugged in silence. We were shocked. We barely slept at all that night. I took 3 tests. It took a couple weeks, at least, before I really believed I was pregnant.

Looking back, I feel like we were SO lucky the way it happened. I remember the details of that night like it happened yesterday.

thechickencoop · February 2014

We had been not trying but not preventing for about 5 months. I was supposed to get my period on Saturday, but we were going to a football game Friday night. So Friday morning, for shits and giggles, I decided to test to see if I would be drinking at the game that night or not. Lo and behold, BFP! H hadn't left for work yet, so I just came out of the bathroom and told him. Then I had a minor freak out, while he hugged me and told me it would be fine lol.

blushingbride_08 · February 2014

I'm currently pregnant and it was unplanned. We had just moved to a new house so my LO was sleeping in our bed until we got his room settled and we felt comfortable with him sleeping in his new room. Needless to say dh and I were not getting busy. One night LO did sleep in his room. That one night we had a quickie. I told dh I would be ovulating the following week so no need for protection. Well that was our lucky day. We only had sex ONCE the entire month. I missed my period and it still never dawned on me bc we only had sex once and thought the chances were slim. I took a test after my teenage niece said I was being crabby and was probably pregnant. She was right. I nearly fainted when I got a bfp.

ToastieSimons · February 2014

With DS1 I tested on my birthday, we were ttc and I was only 9dpo but I just had this "feeling". Not like I totally felt the sperm meet the egg, but just a my chart looks totally different, and there was a huge possible implation dip on 7dpo and i have to pee every 20 minutes. there was a definite line on a $ tree tes. to me anyways. DH wasn't convinced. That afternoon I bought a FRER and it was positivie, even enough for DH.

With DS2 we weren't actively ttc. We had sex once, on CD27. 2 weeks later itt was my birthday and DH told me at dinner "hey it's been a while since AF came, are you pregnant?" Totally random. I said No Way! That evening I realized I was peeing a lot and that for the past few days I felt like I was starting to get sick, but that I felt fine by bedtime and wasn't getting any sicker. The next day I POAS with FMU on a $ tree test and there was a possible line. So I went out and bought like 6 tests and 2 of them were so positive even with afternoon pee.

raraavis28 · February 2014

I got terribly sick around when I was expecting AF....sinus infection, sore throat, fever for days. I figured my period was late b/c I was sick, even though I was also temping and charting and knew that pregnancy was a definite possibility (we were neither trying nor avoiding). DH took me to the Urgent Care clinic to get a strep culture taken (it was over Memorial Day weekend so the doctors' offices were closed) and after they asked me when my last period was, they tested in the office. The doctor came back and said "Well your pregnancy test is positive!" DH and I high-fived, then we called our parents....and he cried the rest of the day (in a good way

)

Then two weeks later we went for our first u/s and got the real shock...."There are two babies in there!" More waterworks from DH....and when he went into work afterward, his boss (a woman) sent him right back home LOL.

bhuffman · February 2014

DS1: we had been trying for 8 months. My husband had been told he had a low sperm count and the doctor was running tests on me. I had taken countless pregnancy tests over those 8 months. One weekend we drove six hours for a good friend's wedding. On our way home, I bawled my eyes out because the drive was "so long"! When we got home, I decided to take a test because DH suggested it due to my extreme exhaustion and crying. I was incredibly shocked when I got a clear positive. I walked downstairs and looked at DH who was unpacking and held out the test and said, oh my god, it worked!"

DS2: total surprise. We had unprotected sex one time the first night we moved into our new house in AL. That one time produced DS2. I was so tired and so sick that DH came home with a test. I had no idea. Sure enough, he was right. I cried, first of shock, then of happiness. That was Valentine's Day. 2 days later, our house in TN sold and we weren't carrying two mortgages. I felt like DS2 was meant to be!

nosoup4u · February 2014

DS1 wasn't too exciting, but with DS2, I was still nursing, and hadn't gotten my period yet. I was cutting back sessions, trying to trigger ovulation when we stopped using protection. I tested on a lark, convinced there was no way I could be pg so quickly, but yep, I kept getting reeeally faint second lines. I think I checked every other day for a week, bc I didn't believe it. At one point, I finally got a dark enough second line that I had to woke DH up at 4 am to tell him.

peacelove&mama · February 2014

Uh... Well, I was 16 when I got pregnant with DS1. My mom came home from doing groceries and threw a pregnancy test at me and demanded I take it. Boom.

For DS2, I was babysitting and had been having a hard time staying awake during the day, like I was insanely tired, if I sat down I'd start nodding off. I didn't think anything of it even though it was really unusual but I mentioned it to DH on a Friday and he's like "well maybe you're knocked up, isn't there a test left in the cupboard?" (We had been trying for a year). I decided to wait for FMU. I ended up waking up at 5am, POS, and didn't see anything so I went to throw it out but something told me to look again. So I did, and there was our line! I ran to the bedroom and woke DH up and told him/showed him, and he was like "oh, cool" and went back to sleep lol. I sat and happy cried for a while by myself and I don't think I ended up falling back to sleep.

babywisher · February 2014

We had attc for 4 years before we adopted ds. We decided to forgo ttc as we moved on to adoption and be one and done. Then I was having pretty bed endo issues. So in Feb I had a lap done where they removed the endo. Dr said it wouldn't hurt to try over the next few months. So I was temping and charting. My period was due, but never really on time. So I said if my temp stays up then next morning I would test. Sure enough it went up and I waited for dh to leave for work. I never test with him home. He didn't know I was testing. He had just kissed us bye. Ds was in our bed watching a show while I was getting ready for work. I peed on the digital test. Went and washed my face. Went back to check. Never in a million years did I expect it to say positive. I mean I had taken hundreds of tests! Sure enough positive. I herd dh come back in and I ran out crying. He was freaking out thinking something happened to ds. Finally I got out I'm pregnant. He said what! I said I just took a test and its positive. He held me and cried for a while. Then he came to see for himself. After years of trying I had so many cute ideas of how I would tell dh. They all flew out the window!

vlagrl29 · February 2014

mine is really bizarre. I didn't test positive for 4 weeks and I was peeing on sticks left and right. I had been really ill for several weeks. waking up at 5 am with severe indigestion and nausea, having to eat 2 snacks in the middle of the night, eating dinner and 4 hours later eating another dinner, throwing up and needing to eat right away. I thought something was severly wrong with me. Went to the doc several times and they gave me zantac, that didn't help, they scanned my gall bladder, it was fine. They did blood work and tested it for everything including pregnancy. That came back negative. Finally they told me to get an upper GI scan and maybe I had an ulcer or gastritis. The morning of the GI test I peed on 1 more stick and it came back with a faint line. We went to the appt as scheduled and they tested me with their pee sticks and all came back with faint lines. I was literally on the bed with everything hooked up for me ready for the endoscopy when they told me to go home, I was pregnant. Went to the OB that afternoon and they took blood. Called me the next day to tell me I was preggo! What an ordeal!
