On New Year's Day, I took the test with my husband by my side. I was still sitting on the toilet as we watched with anticipation and quickly saw the test changing both of us saying "that looks like a plus, omg that the plus!" Cried and hugged after! Best way to start this year.
What was was your first reaction? Happy, sad, mad- let's hear them all!

BFP on 1/6/17!
Well, we had a snowstorm on O-2. We slept in and totally spaced the contraceptive film.
I took the test the day AF was due. I think if anything I was immediately mad at myself and him for messing up the testing plan by getting pregnant. I was assuming it would be another loss and it would delay my getting the full diagnostic process done with advanced reproduction for 3-4 more months.
As the betas turned up great and I haven't hit snags like spotting, we've started being less "dang, we messed up", to "holy crap, this one is going to actually stick!!!" and allowing ourselves some happiness and excitement.
I was like "no way..." thinking that it was positive because it was expired. I told my fiance "ummm can you read this?" (I totally failed at how to break the news to him lol - he thought it was a joke because it was our anniversary of being engaged for 4 years too...) He read it and his eyes bugged out of his head kind of like a cartoon, lol, in a cute way though. Just complete shock / surprise. We've both always wanted kids though, just we never thought I could have any.
I took another (also expired) test and it came up the same. Then we bought 2 more and they came up - I'm like 4 tests probably don't lie at this point. Then when the blood test results came back I almost totally believed it. And when we saw the ultrasound with egg/yolk sacs I'm almost 100% sunk in to the news.
Now I just need to see a heartbeat I think for it to completely sink in lol, so hopefully this Friday's ultrasound.
It's only been 10 days since I found out so it's only starting to sink in. I've had loss in the past, so I think I'm not getting my hopes up all the way, but I'm ecstatically happy all the same.
After DH got up, I put together a newborn size outfit and a newborn diaper and the digital and gave it to DH as a Christmas present. With DS, I just came out of the bathroom (totally naked after a shower, haha) and started crying. He thought it was negative at first, bc I was crying so much.
DS2: EDD- 09.08.17
I took a test on 12/31 and it was negative but I felt different then I waited until 1/2 and there was a faint line. I came down stairs and showed DH and he was like omg. We both kind of chuckled because we were trying but not expecting it to happen quick. Each pregnancy is different so I wasn't expecting it to be so quick. At least DH didn't look like he was about to faint like last time lol
I couldn't believe the test was positive! I had been out of the country for most of tht cycle and had given up on trying to temp thanks to crazy sleep schedules and time zone differences. Somehow we managed to have perfect timing and finally got our BFP!
I had to call my dogs into the bathroom with me to tell them they were getting a sibling. They were so excited! My great Dane had to give me big hugs. It was precious. I'm sure in some fashion they must comprehend / know because they have been more loving and protective of their mommy than normal.

I actually only took another test because I was sad I wasn't pregnant and had every intention of drinking an entire bottle of wine, lol. I figured, since I had never actually started bleeding I would take a test to be 100% sure. I was so sure it would be negative, I left it in the bathroom for almost 10 minutes while I was finishing up laundry. So when I saw that very clear second line I was completely shocked... but over the moon thrilled, of course!
My two are laying on my lap now too.
Of course there were no signs and symptoms, so when DH and I got up on Sunday, I tested. He was in the kitchen making tea, and when the tests turned positive (one regular FRER and one digital FRER, just in case the other was hard to read), I scaremed "Holy shiiiiiiiit!", which is how DH found out I'm pregnant. And then he held me while I cried for about ten minutes. We were both really happy, but shocked. Shoot, we're STILL happy but shocked.But so far everything looks really good, with no spotting so far, and I'm feeling really hopeful.
