It's my BFP!!!


@13dpo
So here is what happened:

My last diary entry was written on Saturday the 23rd and I said that I wanted to wait until Christmas day to test. I listed some symptoms that I was having and I was starting feel like I really could be pregnant. Well literally aout 2 hours after I posted that diary entry I decided I was going to be weak and test. What made my mind up was that I thought that because Nigel's mother would be going to stay at Nigel's brothers house, because I wouldn't want to tell everyone it would be really hard to keep it a secret from my MIL, so I thought, if I tested positive we could tell her that day.

After holding my water for about 3 hours and not drinking much, I went upstairs and pee'd into a cup. I dipped the test in for 10 seconds and then put my finger over the results window. I then ran downstairs and sat next to DH. I was very nervous and shaking, my heart was beating so fast I felt like I had been running. After 3 minuts, I said to DH, "right then, are we going to look" DH hid is head on my arm, I think he was just as nervous and I can say that I was convinced the test would be negative. So I said "Right, one, two, three....." I took my finger off the results window, and there is was, a little bit faint, but non the less, obvious positive result. Well I threw myself onDH and sobbed into his shoulder, DH went all silly and slapped my leg a few times whilst cuddling me. I then rushed back upstairs and used a digital test. Ran back downstairs and sat with DH again, there is was, those magical words, "PREGNANT".

We went to Nigel's mum's house and I showed her the digital, basically her words were "Don't get too excited" she is worried that I may get my hopes right up just to be smashed like last year, she was happy though. That night we had to go to my aunts house for pre-crimbo drinks, it was hard not to tell everyone, expecially my parents who were there. we managed to be quiet though and the next day we made our way to my parents house ready fro Christmas Eve and Christmas day. We got there just in time for dinner and we sat down, my heart was beating again with anticipation of telling them. As they poured the wine, I said "I wont be having any wine today as I am expecting" It took them a while to understans what I was saying, but they were very happy.

Basically, we are all on our guard seeming as this happend nearly exactly the same last year. My cycle had started on the same date last year and I was pregnant for Christmas, sadly I started miscarrying on New Years Eve. The differences are that I O'd later this cycle than last years cycle, so the fetal age of my baby is younger than it was last year, and this time I have laot more symptoms! Really all I have to add to my list of symptoms is veiny boobs, they are disgusting, but I love them, they mean I am pregnant, yay. I have also been having mean cramps that last for about 2 minutes, sometimes they are even more painful than period cramps and they are not all the time, so at least I have that to be thankfull for. The ladies on FF assure me that this is normal so long as there is no blood or spotting and that they too have had really painful cramps and everything turned out okay for them, so I am not worrying about that anymore. Okay I am lieing, I am worried but not so much.

So basically all I have to do now is get my pregnancy confirmed by the Dr, this was a disaster last year, I think I wrote about it in my introduction, and then try and wangle an early scan some how, so watch this space.

Right then, just so you can all see what a fat bloater I already am, and so we can all actually see my belly develop here is a belly pic take at 4weeks pregnant, 14dpo on the 24th Dec 2006. Please xcuse the stretch marks and fat sticky out belly, it's just the way god made me:O)



So it looks as though Anne's BFP was catching and I sincerely hope it's catching for all of you.

I hope you don't mind me staying on the precon diaries for a while but I really want to make sure this is for real before changing over to the pregnancy boards.

Hapy New Year to all and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas,

Love from Helen and Baby bumb at 4 weeks and 3 days by O date.
