My BFP

I just realized I hadn't posted about the day I got my positive test. I want to do that to make sure I don't forget any of it...

I woke up at 4:45 on Monday, Feb. 15th (President's Day and my brother's birthday). My period was supposed to start at any moment. I figured I'd do the test and would see that the dreaded Aunt Flo had arrived. So, I put the test on the counter. In about 30 seconds, I checked the test. There was a line where the test line was supposed to be!! The control line wasn't even there yet. I just stood in the bathroom and stared as the second line appeared. I debated waking Steve. I did, because I just had to tell someone - and I didn't want to call and wake anyone yet. So, I woke him and told him that it worked. He didn't quite understand until I said this month worked and then I turned the headboard light on to show him the test. He kissed me and went back to sleep!! I couldn't believe it!! I told him that I was too excited to sleep, so I came downstairs with my cell phone. I debated calling my mom, but figured 5:00 was still a bit to early. So I got on the computer and posted to Jeanie and Leah that I had started our POAS party...
I am in serious shock right now. I tested at about 4:45. I GOT A BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it!!! Now I'm terrified!!! I don't know if I can go through a m/c again! I'm praying so hard!! I am going to make an appt with the RE - he said if I got pg, to make an appt and they will monitor closely... Holy crap! Now I can't sleep! And no one is online to tell!! BUT SHHHH on facebook please!! That was my msg to them. I never did make an appt with the RE. The weather had been too nuts to try and plan a 2 hour trip there.

Then my best friend from HS was online. I told her through FB chat. I then posted on SK. Finally, it was 5:30 and I couldn't wait any longer. I tried to call my mom's cell phone. She didn't answer. I called the house phone, hoping that my dad didn't answer. Mom answered, sounding quite worried. She was quite thrilled and was ok with me calling more than an hour before she had to get up for work... I stayed up for another hour and about 6:30, I went back upstairs to try and sleep some more. It didn't really happen. I tried. But was just too excited! Steve finally woke up around 8 or 8:30 and asked if it had been a dream. At 9:30 I called my best friend and told her. I was a little disappointed that she didn't sound super-excited - she took it quite calmly... She did tell me that she was afraid she would flip me out if she was too excited and that she kept telling herself to be calm. That made me feel better.

We went out to eat that day for Valentine's Day - figured we would avoid the crowds by going the day after. We went to Olive Garden and I had the seafood alfredo. YUM!! It was snowing pretty bad on the way home and the roads were awful.

We got home and just relaxed the rest of the day. I was quite exhausted from the excitement, but still wound up!


3 days until my appt!

  1. It is such a wonderful thing to have your BFP story to look back on. I sometimes go back to the beginning of my blog and read mine to remember how that day changed my life. Congrats Jess!!!!

  2. Thanks Amy! I have read it twice a day since I posted... I don't think it's sunk in yet... I keep thinking I'm going to wake up and it was all a dream.
