Tell me your BFP stories!

[Ginevere]

I was cleaning out my desk drawer just now and found my positive test, it made me smile.

It was late October, 11 days PO. I’d been telling myself to wait, was due my period in 4 days and decided to do a first response. Got up in the morning, fed the cat. Did the test. Set it down, then washed my face and brushed my teeth, totally not thinking about the test, as I was convinced it would be negative. Finally I picked it up and saw the two lines and I froze in shock. My heart started racing and I stared at it for probably about 30 seconds as my whole body fizzed with joy. I had envisaged that when I found out I would keep calm and cool, but as it was I ran into the bedroom, turned the lamp on and shook my husband awake, holding it in front of his face. It took him a few blinks to process it, but when he did he grabbed it, smiled the hugest smile and gave me a massive hug. Said “Is this real?” then have me a huge kiss, got out of bed and started pacing around the bedroom staring down at it. Neither of us knew what to do with ourselves. I spent the rest of the day with it propped up in front of my computer as I worked.

Im now 17 weeks, very used to being pregnant, but I remember so clearly the life changing shock of actually being pregnant. I’d love to hear some other stories about the moment you found out!

I had just started fertility investigations as had been ttc since aug 2019 but due to covid it took along time to get going, my OH has a daughter that we have full custody of and one weekend she stayed at her grans so we took full advantage as it just so happned i was ment to be ovulating, along came friday the 23rd of october and i was getting my day 21 bloods done i got home and sat down and something in me td me to order this babygrow i had been looking at a few weeks previous so i did and thought when it comes il hide it and when i do get my BFP its there. 4 days later on the 27th i got my BFP and i sat on my bed alone in the house sobbing my heart out and the first people i told were 2 of my closest work friends because i didnt want to tell my OH incase i had "line eyes" so decided to take a CB digi and it came up PREGNANT again i sobbed and paced around my room saying oh my god oh my god this cant be real then finally decided to call OH at work he couldnf make out what i was trying to say so instead i had to send him a picture of my test! Its not how i planned to tell him in my head i wanted to suprise him and see his face and not sending him a picture of the test and then not being able to see him for the rest of the day. Im now 16 + 2 and still feel like its all a dream

Hello ladies. Can I join in?

A positive BFP story.
I had been married for 10 months, wasn’t even trying or even thought about trying yet. (TMI) we dtd unprotected only maybe twice in the whole 10 months which was obviously probably the time I conceived. After that I had what I thought was a period so didn’t even bat an eyelid.

One day went for a meal with my mum to our favourite Turkish restaurant and I just didn’t feel like ordering/eating anything and mind you I don’t play when it comes to my food 😋.

On the way home I thought let me just pop to a chemist and buy a test for fun as I felt a little weird that day. It’s so hard to explain, I know you know what I mean. Anyways went home, POAS and BFP. How in the hell I didn’t realise for 6 whole weeks I will never know!

I figured the ‘period’ I had in between was probably implantation? Anyways it’s been a while and I now have a 2 year old gorgeous munchkin. Till this day I have no idea when I ovulated or anything as I wasn’t tracking anything and found out after such a long time.

Baby dust to all who are TTC x

I was late for my period but thought it’d come any day now as I could feel twinges in my uterus. When it was a week late it became clear to me I could be pregnant. We’d been to Prague 3 weeks earlier and I remember thinking at the time that I would be ovulating that weekend.
Drove from work to Sainsbury’s. Bought a test. Came home. Dp started telling me this long winded uninteresting story but all I wanted to do was take a test. Went upstairs, weed on the stick, biggest fucking positive. I laughed. Then cried. Then hyperventilated. Then came downstairs and said to dp “I think I’m pregnant”
Wow he was shocked and delighted! I nearly had a panic attack though!!!

I was always a skinny minnie and one day I complained to DH that my favourite summer work skirt was a bit tight and had been uncomfortable all day. Then I had a couple of days of feeling nauseous when I woke up. Still didn't join the dots. About a week later I was walking to work, and it hit me. I was pregnant. I spent the day at work in complete shock, I don't think I did any work, just stared at my computer all day. It wasn't a planned pregnancy, we had only just bought a house, we were too young...

Confessed to DH and he laughed it off, but we were flying to Cyprus on holiday and I wanted to know so the day before we flew I tested and well... DD is 17 next week

So, my first BFP has happened very recently.

After 10 years of not wanting children, and 2 years of actually maybe it's not such a bad idea afterall, we decided at the end of janauary that we'd give it a go and see what happened. I'm 34, had a long term health condition which impacts my mobility ans thus also high BMI and both my mum and nan had fertility issues so I fully expected this to take ages.

Second cycle around I was a week late for my period before I tested the first time. I'd always said I'd wait 7 days before testing as my period for the Feb one had shown up a few days later than expected. That first test was negative so thought nothing else of it other than it was a late period. I didn't even mention to my DH that I was late.

Three days later we went for a bike ride that was my longest one yet and felt very sick at the end of it. I just put it down to the fact it was the first time this year we'd gone that far..

2 days later it still hasnt arrived and I thought I'd get a test at the weekend if it still hadn't showed but was fully expecting it to make an appearance. Anyway, went to the shop that evening and had a total meltdown in sainsbury because I couldn't find jam whilst walking backwards and forwards across the shop which was starting to cause me pain.

So I took the test I brought that night the following morning before I started work. It didn't show up right away so was thinking it's still negative. Started to get dressed after the toilet and turned to pick it up to throw it away and it had a faint line there... so faint I wasn't 100% sure it was actually there. So picked it up to take downstairs to ask DH's opinion on it. He was in the downstairs loos so I sat on the sofa and looked at it again. It was darker and obviously a positive. There was a "oh sh!" Moment.

DH came out the toilet and was like "why are you up so early? Is everything okay you look like you've seen a ghost"

...silence for a moment before "I'm pregnant"

What I hadnt figured was it was April fools moment. He laughs and goes "Yeah really?" At which point I present him with the test.. and he replies "oh! You are!" Gives me a cuddle and a kiss and I promptly start crying. God knows why was probabaly just because of the shock.

DH certainly dealt with it much better than I did to start with hehe.

We were on cycle 18 of ttc our first, and I done a test 5 mins before dp was due to work his night shift, presuming it would have been negative again, I got into bed and left the test in the bathroom. Shouted to my dp to check it, and he said he has, he's thrown it in the bin as it was negative because the second line wasn't dark...wait what, there's a second line?! Queue me screaming with excitement and him leaving for work whilst I was going wild on my own she's now a beautiful 9 month old bundle of joy!

On our 28th cycle of ttc we got the news my partner had a low sperm count, as well as me having thyroid and hormone problems, so we decided to stop ttc until we got the help needed. That month I was 3 days late on my period but that isn’t unusual and we didn’t have any tests so I just didn’t think anything of it. I was cleaning the bathroom and found an old test in the drawer so I thought ah why not and quickly poas and got back to cleaning. 15 mins later I was cleaning the toilet when I glanced at my obviously BFP! almost fell down the toilet

I laughed. Then cried. Then hyperventilated

Couldn’t of described it better myself

With this last one I was convinced the whole time after ovulation that nothing had happened. Was actively planning the next cycle. With all my others I had strong symptoms ridiculously early so I was pretty certain.

My period didn't come on time but I was getting PMS pains so I was annoyed it was going to set back the next ttc cycle.

A few days later decided just to take a test to make sure...put it on the bathroom sink, came back a few minutes later and got a blazing positive. lol
