BFP!
After work Thursday night I POAS from the $store. I saw a line, within the 10 minute time frame. I eagerly waited to tell the Captain. I see-sawed if I should wait until Tuesday or what. But you know me, I can't keep this in! I showed him the test. He saw the line. But within an hour it seemed to be a grey evaporation line. I begged the Captain to go get me a First.Response test, as they are probably the best tests ever. he said NO, he didn't want to go out. Oh well, I had a $store test for the am and I would just use that.
I went to bed at 7:30! I was exhausted! I woke at 9pm to pee and lo and behold, there was a FRER test waiting for me. I wanted to wait til the am to use it. I tossed and turned on and off all night. Everytime I woke with my thoughts, I just would think "It's not going to be positive. This would be too good to be true."
Friday March 11 @4:30 am. I was working the 5:30 shift so I usually get up at 4 am. However, I'd overslept and woke at 4:30. I quickly peed on my stick. At first it seemed the colour passed over the "test" line and didn't stop. Then after a minute I thought I saw something. I had to get ready fast so I jumped in the shower. When I got out there were TWO lines on the test, although light, still a definite positive. I was so excited. I left it out for the Captain to see.
On Friday evening I bought 6 more $store tests so I could do one each morning and one each afternoon. I also have a ClearBlue Digital with "Conception Indicator" that I am saving for later, not sure when but, later. Anyways, I got home and PIC and drop some peepee onto the test and within 3 minutes I had a definite, faint positive.
Saturday morning, approximately 14dpo. I POAS and PIC and use both a FRER and a $store test. The FRER line came up fairly fast but at first I thought it was lighter than the day before and started to bum out. Then I could see that it was indeed darker! This is when I really started to get excited. The $store test was also positive and darker then the test from the afternoon before.
I didn't really have major symptoms before my BFP but there are a few things to note.
On Friday March 4, just 4-6 days after ovulation, I was working out when my right side started to really pinch and pull. I worked through it, thinking it could just be work out pain. Another day shortly there after, I had the same pinching and pulling on both sides at the same time. Part of me is excited for this but part of me worries that implantation happened where it shouldn't.
Throughout the last 2 weeks, on a couple of different occasions, I would turn over in bed and get the "pull" feeling in my sides, near my ovaries. This has been a symptom for almost each pregnancy. But I tried not to get too excited as it's happened when I haven't been pregnant too.
In the last week I have had a headache everyday. Kind of sinus like. I only took regular Tyle.nol but one day I had aches and pains due to my work out so I took one Ibupro.phen.
My skin is oily. My gums were swollen the one night. I was semi-constipated for a day but I had taken an iron pill the night before, not knowing I was PG. My breasts seem bigger and at times will throb or be tender. I am not really peeing more all the time but during the day I seem to be. I am more tired. When eating I get full fast and then once I am full, thinking of food makes me quesy (not like me, believe me). When I get up in the morning I am very hungry, not just hungry, LOL. Overall, I want my symptoms to increase day by day. I will not be upset if I vomit. I have said it before, I will gladly take any morning sickness that comes my way!
If I remember correctly my symptoms usually came in stronger after the 4 week mark. Of course many times I would be farther along than 3w5d when I found out. Almost every other time I had a period before my BFP. I am extremely thankful that my prayers were answered on this one. I have asked God many times to give me a BFP after my period is late. And this time my period was technically late, as I generally start at 11dpo.
The Captain and I are excited but cautious as well. I told him that we need to enjoy each moment and act as if the only outcome will be a healthy baby. I have started to plan to garage sale with my neighbour for bargains. I am looking forward to finishing my degree while on MAT leave. It shouldn't be hard, I'll have lots of baby sitters, 2 nieces and 2 Auntie's will gladly babysit. The Grandma's will babysit. The Grandpa's too!
I can't wait to tell our families the news. I am planning on Easter sunday. I will be just shy of 9 weeks. I am positive we will have seen the heartbeat(s?) twice. I have told 3 outside people plus my On-line community. I told my trainer, cuz I want her to take it easy on me. I told another supervisor who I really am fond of and I told an employee who I really trust and have come to admire. I want to tell Rachel and probably will tomorrow!
I will be telling my boss when I have my first ultrasound, so probably in 2 weeks. If I can hold out that long. I always see it as job protection when I am pregnant. I want to reassure them that I will stick it out to the end.
I am just so confident this time. Not cocky. Not over. Just a really good feeling.
And today's $store test had a darker line than yesterday! That's a good thing.
