I don't believe it... (BFP warning)

carrieandrcarrieandr member
in TTC after 35
This month my temps were deviating from their usual path (not in a pregnant-looking way) and I didn't have any symptoms for once. I recently bought a bunch of cheapie tests, so I figured I'd test to confirm that I'm out so I could mentally set this month aside and be done with it.  A shadow appeared on the cheapie, so I took a FRER and it was positive. I was stunned. I looked up at the mirror and my reflection looked utterly bewildered. I was so skeptical that I went to the store and got a digital test to confirm.

I had a missed miscarriage in March, so I'm cautiously excited and hoping things go well this time. I'm afraid to join the May '16 BMB or change my Bump status yet. The thought of history repeating itself is daunting, to say the least. For now I will focus on the PGAL mantra: "Today I am pregnant."  I hope all of you can say the same very soon.

I'll probably hang around here a while, like Goldsgirl, if that's okay. It's too early for me to trust this yet.

    OMG!!!! What amazing news!!! WOWZA!!! This is soooo exciting! I understand being cautious and nervous. I had 2 miscarriages last year and I know that when (or if) I get pregnant again, I'll be an extreme mess of excitement and fear. My fingers are so crossed for you that everything goes wonderful and smoothly.

    By the way, how many dpo were you when you took the test?

    Thanks @jilligan14!  I was either 11dpo or 9dpo.  I missed 4 temps this month, so it's hard to say.  I had a BFN two days earlier.

    Wonderful news!!!!!!
    Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
    Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
    TTC with frozen donor sperm and science

    7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
    2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
    Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
    Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!  
    fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! 
    Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)

    The doctor said to call when I've missed AF and make an appt for 8 weeks.  No betas.

    This is going to be a long wait.

    It was exciting for a week, and ended up being a chemical pregnancy.  AF arrived on Saturday.
