Some company, please. I'm a bit freaked out.

Hello,

I haven't posted for a really really long time and I've name-changed (I think) because I really don't want to go at all public yet. So, if you recognise me from previous posts or (much worse) real life, please please don't out me.

So, in a nutshell, I have been unsucessfully TTC for over five years. I had one early MC ages ago and one cycle of IVF with a really poor response. Over a year ago we were told that I probably had premature ovarian failure, that there was no point in more IVF and that I would almost certainly go through menopause in the next couple of years. I was a very difficult time, obviously, but we were always realistic and coped pretty well. We grieved for a bit then picked ourselves up and got on with accepting and adjusting.

So, fast-forward to now and with several people close to us for the second time and with my periods showing no signs of stopping, we started to wonder if we'd given up to soon and I started tracking my cycles a bit again and we started a bit of low-key trying (we'd never actually stopped, of course, but we started paying attention to timing). I'm now on day 27, 13 DPO, and I tested yesterday and there was a faint, but visible line. Twice.
I've tested again today and there is a still faint, but more distinct pink line.

Ummm, so, I'm pregnant, aren't I?

We (husband and I) are a bit freaked out and have no idea what to do with ourselves. We can't tell anyone real and we can't actually believe it, but I am, aren't I?

I just really need some company until I'm more sure and less overwhelmed, but please no baby-dust or hugs or any of that stuff, I hate all that.

Thanks.

Such a lovely post and it's allowed to be all about you Smile

Thank you!

It's funny, it never occured to me that this would help anyone else or give them hope, because I always really hated those stories of people who suddenly found out they were pregnant after giving up. They made me feel even more hopeless and inadequate. You're obviously all much kinder people than me!

eurochick how are you doing now?

Awww, what a great thread. You've put a smile on my face OP and a lump to my throat! Huge congratulations and all the best.

When I went to my Dr with my "faint line" test she laughed and said "a line is a line is a line, congratulations, you're pregnant".

Congratulations - now rest up. Oh, and don't worry about a bit of spotting, very common.
