I hope this doesn't come across as insensitive to Amy who just posted such sad news. I certainly know what it's like to have multiple m/cs.
But I just got a BFP from a HPT this evening. I missed my period yesterday but I was 2 weeks late last month and I took several pg tests (waste of money) and wasn't pg so that didn't mean much to me, esp because I'm still nursing. I told myself I'd test this time though if I felt pg symptoms and tonight I felt kinda off, dizzy n kinda carsick so I tested.
I took two, one being a digital and it definitely says the word PREGNANT. So it's sinking in. Frankly I'm terrified (of another m/c, having 2 under 2, and of having a baby with some sort of genital issues due to my advanced maternal age). But of course most importantly I feel incredibly blessed, esp being an old lady LOL.
I'm dying because it wouldn't be right to tell anyone before I tell DH and he doesn't get off until really late tonight. I'm about 4w1d (it's lovely to me that I dont' know my exact conception date). Please pray this sticks and is a healthy LO.
DH and I decided to start actively trying again this C (but havent' been using protection since I got my first AF months ago). It took us 11 mos and 1 m/c last time to have this LO. We thought it might take us awhile this time too and that we might need some help. Last time also required 3 IUIs and fert meds (injectible and oral). Wow, just wow.

Congratulations!!!! I assume it's a strange feeling to have a BFP without having had all your previous C days mapped out; allowing you to know your exact day of conception. It must be freeing. I'm so happy for you and your family. Keep us updated on your progress and I'll keep thinking sticky thoughts for you and your future LO.

I'm sure this is obvious to most ladies on here that I'm FB friends with but if this LO sticks we likely aren't announcing on there until after genetic testing.
And on another note, my older brother's girlfriend is PG with TWINS (they planned the pregnancy) so I'm going to be an aunt for the first time X2 early next year : )

Thanks Emily. DH came home at midnight and I'd been asleep awhile so I was pretty groggy and just walked out and said I have something to show you and handed him the digital hpt. He was very shocked and said "Are you serious?!" and he asked questions about the validity of the test (LOL) and then we just talked a lot about plans : )

Sorry didn't mean to sound exclusionary by only mentioning Em in my last reply. ALL of your ongoing support means a lot me ladies. I really appreciate it Sarah, Emily, Heather, Candace and Stacy!
I'll certainly keep you updated. I contacted my OB and it seems I won't be as closely watched this time since I didn't go through their fert dept, which is fine by me. I'll have my first doc appt in about a month (8 wks) : )
