Cautiously optimistic

September 24, 2008

HI Ladies. Just wanted to share the news. I finally got my BFP! I took a digital because I was only getting faint lines on the cheapy tests, so I couldn't really know for sure. But, it's still early, so I'm being cautiously optimistic. I've had two MCs one of them a D&C, so I don't want to get my hopes up high. But I wanted to tell you all that I couldn't have gotten through this emotionally and mentally without the support of all of the wonderful, smart, funny, incredibly postive and supportive women on this web site. I truly believe in positive reinforcement and I think that is how I was able to get my BFP. Even when it wasn't directed to me personally just reading about how all of you have supported eachother's TTC journey is simply breathtaking. I have learned so much. You are the kindest, bravest people I have had the pleasure and privilege of sharing this aspect of my life with. Although we have only a name and maybe a photo, we share one of the hardest things each of us will probably ever have to experience. I know I wouldn't have been able to get through the months of disappointment and heartache without FT. So, a truly heartfelt thank you. If he hasn't already, God will bless you all. I'll keep you posted. I pray this one sticks.

hi! i found i was scared to, but we do need to be positive and have that happy, positive energy running around our bodies and it turn to our growing babies, hard to believe its only 3mm at 4wks!!! im glad you going to doctor, they will be able to see a sac but dont get scared if you dont see a heart beat, sometimes you cant see it till 7 wks.

im wishing us both lots of positive thoughts and sticky glue!xo

Hi Jules! We saw a sac,you're right, too early to see much of anything else. I did a preg. test there too and it was no doubt a full on positive! I did the blood test today too and should get those results back tomorrow. I think it's sinking in finally and I'm feeling really good about this one.

Maybe we should start a June baby thread. I think we'd be due in June, if I'm counting right? Would love to exchange stories, symptoms, U/Ss, tests, whatever...

Baby dust to all you gals and loads of sticky glue to Jules.

Congrats SS! You got your BFP! A faint line is a line. I took those cheapie ones and got an expensive digital one from the drug store and it came up BFP. If you're like me, and just wanted another confirmation, then by a digital. They're easy, no lines to read, just says pregnant or not pregnant. But Jeri and Jules were right about me, when I got the faint line. It was BFP.

I'm starting a June thread, so that we can all compare "notes." Please join. I got in for another ultrasound on Thursday. I think I'm only 5 weeks. The only symptoms I've had are really sore BBs and constantly having to go pee.

Sticky glue to you and hope to see your post on the June thread.

Jules and LCTTC, thank you so much for your support. I tested again this morning - another faint line. I am going to call the doctor and set an appointment. Maybe they can confirm via bloodtest. How are you feeling? Any other symptoms?

September 29, 2008

Congratulations to all of you!! Sticky glue to all!

My dh and I are doing IVF/ICSI so I hope to get my BFP in December!!!

Thank you Lara! I'm so excited for you. I'll be praying for you! And sending you loads of baby dust. Please keep us posted on how the retrieval and transfer goes.

Hey SS, have you gotten a digital test to double check your BFP? I forgot to ask what DPO are you. I got my faint lines at DPO 12 and 13 - I guess you can say I was an overeager Pee'er on a stick(P'erOAS). So getting a faint line is totally normal. I didn't get a dark line until I test again on DPO 17.

Well, we all believe it's a BFP, so sending good thoughts and baby dust your way.
