I want to share my story with you all:
My DH and I have been trying for almost 9 months. With my irregular cycles (CD40+) and some other symptoms I was long convinced I had PCOS. Last month, I finally convinced my GP to refer us to a fertility specialist.
I ovulated sometime between Oct 5th-7th (based on positive OPKs) - so I was planning to test Oct 19th. Yesterday (Oct 14th - approx 8 dpo) we had our appt with the specialist - so just in case, I did a test in the morning and got a BFN.
Disappointed, we went to the appt, after a brief interview she left us feeling that the OPK tests and BBT charts we had started doing for the first time this month were all useless (as she said it was likely that I had PCOS). In any case, we left with a list of tests we were supposed to come back to do and not very optimistic.
Today, I happened to pass by the dollar store and bought 3 tests to test "in the future".
Of course, when my DH and I got home, I couldn't help but POAS....and we saw a veerrrrry faint line! But my DH did not want to get his hopes up and convinced me that it must be wrong, so we repeated the test and yet another faint line! We still couldn't fully believe it, so I fished out the FRER I had been saving for that "special" one and it came back with the second faint line (though much darker than the dollar store ones)!
Delirious with excitement, we drove to a late night pharmacy and bought a digital test....and it came back with a screaming "YES"!
I finally got my BFP girls!!!
I have been reading this forums for months, but I finally joined in and participated this cycle during my TWW... I am convinced it is all the baby dust being blown around in here!
I am sooo wide awake...don't know how I am going to sleep tonight!
