Want to reminisce? When's your BFP anniversary?

Summer889 · April 2014

May 1 is my BFP anniversary

I was charting to avoid, thinking we'd wait another couple years to TTC. My cycles had always been long (35-40 days), so when we DTD 9 days into my cycle, I was sure I was safe. Then I O'd on day 12 and freaked out, but still thought the chances of being pregnant were super low. I waited and waited for AF to come, but it never did. I was still totally in denial that I was pregnant though. A few days after my period should have come, I finally asked DH to pick up a pregnancy test on his way home from work "just to rule it out." I took the test that night while he waited outside the bathroom door and it said "pregnant" before I'd even finished peeing! I was totally in shock. I opened the door and just started crying - I didn't feel ready to have a kid! DH was so supportive. He said, "let's try to make this a happy occasion," so we did. I found out later that when he bought the test, he also bought me a Mother's Day card because he was sure I was pregnant.

After 15 months of trying and 5 treatment cycles, I got my BFP on May 7th. I 100% thought it was going to be another failed cycle. I went in the bathroom and POAS and didn't see a line pop up. I was in there thinking about coming out of the bathroom and telling DH that it was negative, once again. When I picked up the stick to throw it away, I saw the faintest line ever. I ran out and asked DH if he saw anything. He did, but kept saying "don't get too excited yet" and "are you sure that means you are pregnant?" We were both in disbelief. That was the longest day at work ever. After work, I stopped and got a digital. When it said pregnant, I started bawling. It took another couple of days and many more tests before DH actually believed it. Oh what happy memories!!!

My BFP anniversary is May 17th, well technically May 16th, but I totally did not believe it, and waited until the 17th to take a digital. I wish my BFP story began happily, but it didn't. My son is special needs, and though I love him with every ounce of my being, he requires a lot of care. My husband and I were not ready to have another one (not emotionally or financially), and at times did not think another child would even be in our best interest. We were preventing. I thought my period was late because I had lost a lot of weight and was exercising a lot, so I thought my cycle got messed up. Finally after no period after almost 2 weeks, I took a test. I saw a faint line and said, no way, this thing is wrong, there is no way I am pregnant. The next day on the 17th, I went and bought a digital. When I saw "Pregnant" I was in complete shock, complete shock. I was freaked out. I was worried and excited at the same time. I wondered how in the world it happened. I didn't know how to tell my husband. That night, my husband and I were sitting out on the patio watching our son play when I grabbed his hand, shaking and said, "Honey..... I'm pregnant." He looked at me, with the biggest smile on his face, squeezed my hand and said, "I had a feeling. Everything will be fine." and he hugged me. Sometimes the very best things in life, are the biggest surprises. We are so thankful every single day for our smiley girl in our lives.

In the beginning of April I told DH that I was ready to start thinking about having a second child (before that I had been thinking I was one and done). The Friday before Mother's day was a slow day at work and I was surfing the internet when I found myself on the January 2014 board, thinking "if I were pregnant now this would be my new BMB". After a couple hours of this I snapped back into reality (because I had not even missed my period yet - it wasn't due for almost another week). I stopped at the dollar store on the way home to pick up some pregnancy tests and all three were positive.

I am very much the girl who thinks about getting pregnant and boom I am. Same thing happened with my first - I decided to trying to chart when we decided to start trying and I kept complaining to DH and my friends that my chart wasn't coming out right. Nope it was, just as one for someone who got knocked up.
