It's been almost a week
Since I found out I was pregnant. And so begins the next 40 weeks (hopefully) of worrying about every pain (or lack of pain), stretch, food, exercise...just basically everything in my life.
I knew this cycle was different but didn't want to let myself believe it for fear of disappointment. On 7dpo, my bbt jumped higher than it had been, which made me think this might be possible. That night I had a burning sensation in my nipples, which was the first physical sign for me. I get breast pain around my armpits during my TWW, but my nipples are never invited to the party. They continued to get more sensitive during nighttime that week. I also had some weird gagging and bleeding gums at 9dpo.
On 11dpo I took a HPT, but only had a digital. It came up negative. I went back to bed thinking it was probably too early but just couldn't go back to sleep. I came downstairs and ripped apart the digital, seeing a faint second line. Now, people say all digitals have a second line, but I've ripped apart this particular off-brand before, and I know it had more of a colorless, evap looking line. This prompted me to go out and buy a FRER, and I got a very faint line with what was left in my bladder (it's hard for me to empty my whole bladder at once, so I assume it was still FMU). Holy crap. I'm pregnant.

Congrats on your BFP. Your TTC Story is similar to mine in that we have been trying to conceive for a long time. I have just read your next entry and all I can say to you is try your best to relax meditate try bachs rescue remedy which is safe to take but effective in calming you down. I have had a early mc at 5-6 weeks and an ectopic at 6-7 so if I am blessed enough to get pregnant again I will have to be monitored as soon as I find out and will have to get my hcg checked too. I know the first few weeks are nerve wrecking but try relax and enjoy:) h&h 9 months x

Oh no, I just meant worrying about what's going on inside me. I told my mom when trying to conceive that I realized I would never not be anxious again. First it would be worrying about getting pregnant, then staying pregnant, then birth, SIDS, kidnappers, bullies, bad decisions, etc. She laughed and said "and here you are 32 and it still hasn't stopped for me. " :)
