Hi. TTC for a year now. Just want to hear some stories of the moment you got your bfp and how it felt. I can’t wait for that day myself but would love to hear others experiences while I wait.

I imagine it just feeling like everything clicking into place and finally getting rid of that heavy feeling in your heart?

I got mine after 10 months trying, 7 cycles. I had long cycles that were all over the place. I thought I was pregnant so many times to get the negative tests was so sad.

So the day I took a positive I was a week or so late going by a "normal" cycle. I fully expected it to be negative, had zero symptoms.

It was a Saturday morning I took the test left it on the bedside cabinet and was chatting to dh after a min or so I looked down and saw 2 dark lines. I said oh my god I am. Dh said what, I'm like 😯 I'm pregnant. I was really excited. He came over had a look and said hmmm, those cheap tests though 🤔He wldnt believe it till I bought a digital one and then he believed, we were thrilled.

Hope u get ur BFP soon!

We tried for 7 years so I know how long a year can feel it can feel like a lifetime
My 1st thought was disbelief, I convinced myself it wasn't real and did another 10 tests and then the realisation that we had planned for years and we where more than ready... NOT! I don't think your ever ready, my OH feinted when I announced the news.... I worried every single day for the whole 9 months, my little boy is 3.5 months old now and the worry never leaves lol in fact it's worse than ever.... but it's just amazing I hope & pray you get your bfp soon 😘

It felt every bit as incredible as I'd imagined after staring/squinting at so many negatives over the past 2 years and praying that something/anything would appear. Then the shock kicked in and the worry. (The worrying hasn't stopped yet and hes at school now!)
I wish you so much luck.

I was in shock as we'd been trying for almost a year. When I did the test DH was in hospital having a minor operation & I didn't tell him until the next day when he got home. I had 24 hours of having this really wonderful secret that only I knew, and the excitement of waiting to tell DH. It was very special.

Op I was in a different boat both times, I didn’t plan them and I was young with my first and in a new relationship with the second. I got my eldest at 4 years old though and that was a pleasant time, although stressful.

My mum tried 5 years for me and I’m a fucking gem so try not to worry. She also got pregnant again after accidentally. She suffers from endometrioisis but I’m not sure if that affects fertility or whether it was just random unexplained, but don’t give up hope x

It was weird. We'd tried for 14 months and I just decided to use up my last internet cheapie and not buy any more - just to use a FRER if I missed a period. I was sitting on the toilet and gave it a cursory glance to see two very strong lines. The blood drained from my face. I had had a period 3 weeks before so I was a bit - faulty test, surely? I showed DH and he thought it was probably faulty so we went to buy a CB digi. We both stood over it flashing... Hourglass... Pregnant... 3+. Turns out the period was implantation so I was nearly 7 weeks. I was delighted but there was definitely a shocked shaky feeling. I felt like I'd won the lottery.

Sorry I know my eldest was not a bfp but it was sort of how imagined a bfp when trying would be, as we were trying to get him and we did!

Absolute panic I had only gone to the drs about tiredness. I was on the pill so when he said congratulations I felt like my life had ended. I was 22 with my first ever boyfriend and was very young for my age. Wouldn't change dd for the world now though.

My other two were happy occasions.

It was the happiest and most surreal single moment of my life. I had typical period systems but particularly had been very emotional. That was what prompted me to get the test even though I felt a bit silly as we hadn't been trying long. For years I'd worried I wouldn't be able to conceive so when I took the test I felt very tense - was sure it'd be a no, and scared to feel the disappointment.
When the blue cross came up like some sort of mirage the world just stood still, I was overwhelmed with shock and joy, and the knowledge a tiny life was there. Sorry for the cheese! I can't explain it very well, it was just a great standout moment in my life. I hope you get yours soon OP! X
