cautiously saying hello
hello all! I'm so excited to finally join the GPM's board!!
if you don't know my story here is a quick summary. In December of 2011 my husband and I started TTC. In October of 2012 I was refered to the RE by my midwife. we went through all the testing and found out that we were dealing with a MFI issue. failed IUI's in January/February of 2013, failed IVF cycle in July 2013 ( we didn't even have anything to freeze).
we decided to keep trying with OPK's and crossed fingers and somehow here I am. and just last week we went to see a new urologist to see if they could do anything to help DH.
AF was due on Saturday and I was crampy so I figured she was about to show so I put off testing. But this morning I couldn't hold back any longer and I tested and got a postive on a strip test and a digi!!
I stopped by the RE's on my way to work and had my blood taken and i'm waiting to hear back from them. I'm terrified they're going to be like, you're cray cray and not pregnant...but I know that I saw those 2 lines.
also my husband is out of town in Montana on a fishing trip and completely off the grid so I can't even share this news with him.
I think i'm 4 weeks 2 days pregnant.

@LooneyLife he has no idea! he asked before he left if I was going to be on my period when he saw me next and I said yes.
so I'm flying to Montana on Thursday morning to meet up with him and we're going to a friends wedding and celebrating our 6th anniversary.
I don't know how or when i'm going to tell him but i'm soooo excited!

Congratulations! What an amazing story!!
I also ended up with a random, unmedicated BFP after being told that such a thing was basically impossible. So I know how shocking/wonderful this is! Congrats again!!

BFP #5: 3/25/2015: EDD: 12/8/2015.
Definitely keep us posted on those betas and your DHs reaction.
I would wear a cardigan or sweater over it though because i'm not trying to announce my pregnancy to every person I walk past!
also I like this idea because my husband goes to Montana every year for a boys trip and this is the first time i've going out there!
