Since I'm avoiding working, I figured that I might as well bump....

When did you get your BFP and how far along are you? I got my BFP on 7/31 and right now (according to my chart) I'm 4+6

Rants/Raves/Other? I'm still very impatiently waiting for my hcg results from Friday... I dipped a Wondfo yesterday because I'm crazy and it was the darkest that I've ever seen. However, I keep telling myself that it's because my pee was very concentrated and it could mean absolutely nothing.

Symptoms? My boobs, especially my nipples, have been so tender since ovulation. Also, does anyone else feel like their kidneys hurt? I thought that I had slept weird at first, but the last three days my kidneys are just so sore!

Questions?

GTKY: How did you tell your DH/SO? Eh, nothing exciting. I just brought it up to him behind my back and told him that I had a surprise. He was surprised because I had just been complaining the day before that I felt like I had little cramps that might turn into AF.

GTKY: How did you tell your DH/SO?
I told him in Mandarin and he thought I was saying "You're a brother" instead of "You're a father" and "We want a baby" instead of "We have a baby". Not that I had the phrasing wrong, he just didn't believe me.

@TheJerilu I'm doing my best to GIF everything I post.

I have to start my new workout plan today and with the fact that I want to take a nap right now, I don't know how that's going to go.

Symptoms?

Potentially going bra shopping to properly holster these puppies.
Otherwise just the bouts of nausea when I don't eat, constipation, etc.

Questions?
None atm.

GTKY: How did you tell your DH/SO?
Showing him the test to confirm there was a second line. After a while, the excitement of announcing isn't quite there. Plus I was convinced I was out and tested on a whim.

When did you get your BFP and how far along are you? I was all set to not test until 14 or 15 dpo. And then I just had this really strong "feeling" and so I tested at 10dpo, not even with FMU. It was faint, but definitely 100% there. I think I must have implanted pretty early. I am now 4 weeks, 3 days. Due April 15th.

Rants/Raves/Other? @Mokay19 On Saturday, at 14dpo, I also dipped my last Wondfo and it was the darkest I have ever seen. The control line was as dark as the test line. I can't help but feel happy about that. I am over the moon happy about this pregnancy. But, right now I am in such a funk. DH and I are going through some issues right now and some other things are really weighing on me. I am just looking forward to feeling confident to focus more on the pregnancy, since that is a happy thing.

Symptoms? SOOOOOOOOOO tired. Just tired beyond belief. I don't think I have ever been this tired, not even when I was pregnant with DD or when she was a newborn, up all night. My boobs are still a little sore, but not as bad as they were. (which of course makes me nervous) Some light cramps the last day or two. And some possible RLP when I stretch or sneeze. Isn't it way to early for that?

Questions? I wish I had one, but I can't think of any at the moment. I second more snark. I have tried a couple of times. But I don't know if I am willing to really commit to this board just yet. Give me another week and then I will work on the snark.

GTKY: How did you tell your DH/SO? I tested the day before DH's birthday. So, I went and bought some FRERs and took one the morning of his birthday at 11dpo. Very strong line. I wrapped it up like a present and then when DD and I woke him up with birthday hugs and kisses in bed I gave him the present to open. He wasn't really expecting a present, so he was a little surprised. He opened it up, like seriously not expecting a pee test. I had him super fooled. We had only had sex once during FW and he knew that and then I was telling him about all my pms symptoms and about how I was just about to get my period. So, when he saw the stick it took a minute for it to even register. His words, "oh, so you are knocked up? I was definitely not expecting that." It was really fun to surprise him. He usually knows exactly what is going on with my cycle. And it will definitely be a memorable birthday present.
