My first ever BFP???

[tentativelypregnant]

I'm writing this on here because it's been a couple of hours now since I did the tests and I'm honestly in so much shock. I'm not telling anybody in real life just yet and I can't keep it to myself. Sorry this is going to be long but I need to say it somewhere!

For context, been "trying but not trying" for the last 2ish years. Me and DH got married April last year and decided to just get on with the wedding, being married etc and trying not to stress too much about having a baby. Both in our late twenties.

I have endometriosis and PCOS and have suffered terribly for the last 10+ years. I finally had a laparoscopy in November 2019. They found endometriosis and treated what they could and basically said my only option was to have an injection to put my body into the menopause to try and help with the endo and with the added PCOS it was highly unlikely I'd get pregnant naturally, if at all.

Fast forward to now. We had sex once on the 29th which according to my app was my date of ovulation (which I never normally take notice of because I've never ovulated before to my knowledge and tests etc). I had the typical discharge and cramps normally associated with people's experiences of ovulation which was a shock, and later that night we had sex. Didn't think too much of it until now as my period was due 2 days ago and there's been absolutely no sign of it apart from the fact my boobs are the sorest they've ever been and I've been going hot and cold. Got DH to get to Wilko (nearest shop) and get me a test just to put my mind at rest and stop me stressing or being upset about not being pregnant and just get on with waiting for my period. Did one Wilko test and within 2 minutes there was a pretty obvious line. In disbelief I did another Wilko test out of the box, a line came up pretty much straight away and again was quite bold.

I knew I had some ClearBlue digital tests somewhere so after much rummaging in panic I found one that was luckily in date until November. Did that test and after the painstakingly long countdown, the "Pregnant" showed on the screen. I've used these before and always been negative so I'm hoping it is working properly! I was crying and shaking, my DH was ecstatic and I just wanted to post somewhere and tell somebody!!

I have attached a picture of said tests hopefully this sticks!

Aw huge congratulations! Xx

Lovely - congratulations 🥳

@tentativelypregnant Awww that's such a lovely story! Congratulations to you both. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months and future with your baby! 🥰

Huge huge huge congratulations!!!! Enjoy the next 9 months and look forward to becoming a mama 💗💗💗💗💗

Ooh congratulations!!! What a lovely post

Thank you all so much!

I'm so overwhelmed I'm excited but I'm also terrified because I'm scared of being excited and something happening if that makes sense.

I've thought of this moment so many times and it's not prepared me at all! For now I'm just happy being pregnant and I hope it all works out. I just needed to tell somebody!

This post is lovely to read and as a fellow pcos sufferer gives me abit of hope. Congratulations ❤️

Over the moon for you- congratulations x

Aaaw congratulations! ✨ This was such a lovey post to come across! Really made me smile 😁

Huge congratulations!!!!

Congratulations to you both 😊

@tentativelypregnant congratulations! 😍 I also have endo and pcos and was told since I was diagnosed at 18 that there was a very low chance of getting pregnant. We tried for over 2 years and finally conceived in March! I had an early scan at 6 weeks to check everything was good and I got to see the flickering heartbeat, it was the most amazing thing. Unfortunately it ended in a missed miscarriage, found out at a scan at 9 weeks that baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks. BUT we are trying to be positive that it happened at all, it is possible for me to get pregnant. That's a huge hope for the future and I pray your story is a big success story for us endo and pcos warriors 💜

Wow congratulations 🥳 also endo sufferer and ttc for nearly 18 months now. Have two DC already but would love a new member of the family with my new partner. Given me some hope that it will happen even with severe endo xx

OMG huge congratulations!!! Clever you

Thank you all for the really lovely messages! It's still not completely sunk in yet that I'm actually pregnant. I think because I don't "feel" pregnant (like when people say they "just knew") apart from the fact my boobs are killing me.

I think it feels strange because only me and DH know as we haven't told anybody yet so I think it will start to feel more real when we do.

I'm trying not to stress out too much, I've phoned the GP and midwife service so I'm waiting for them to call me back to arrange an appointment. I'm just praying it sticks!
