What was it like finding out your BFP?

[Emmyxxlou]

what was it like finding out that you were pregnant? Did you take a test first and then see the doctor or did you see the doctor and have no idea you were pregnant?!
How did your parents react??

i took one test and cried. Then i took another in disbelief. But i also knew it was true. SO then i went to the doctor, stupid doctor didn't re-test me he just took my word for it, which i thought was really strange. And yeah my dating scan confirmed it really. I was sad because i was trying to think of a way of leaving FOB coz i wasn't in a safe, happy environment. Although i have left now, and without LO i wouldn't have had the insentive.
My mum wasn't mad at me just disappointed, and my dad, well i haven't heard boo from him since. But it happens.
People react differently. But i honestly don't regret a thing.
Being pregnant with LO has changed my life for the better

I had thought I was pregnant because I had been feeling a little nauseous and I missed my period. So I had my boyfriend buy me 2 pregnancy tests. I took one the night he bought them, and BFP. I went to my room and cried for hours and called boyfriend. He was shocked. Took the second, BFP, then he bought 3 more digitals. All positive. Waited two weeks, told my mom, he told his parents, and then it was confirmed when I went to the ER and had an emergency scan.
My mom was VERY mad at first, but now she is just as excited as I am. My dad isn't in the picture, and he will not be finding out about his grandbaby.

For about a week I had been having morning sickness but thought it was something else, my OH joked about me being pregnant and so one day after class I went and got two test. I'd never taken one before or seen one really so when it came back a faint positive I didn't believe it. Even still I called my OH to tell him and we both decided a doctor's visit would confirm it or not. I took the second test the next morning it was still positive by then I pretty much believed I was pregnant because it all made sense. That weekend I had a doctor's visit and they confirmed the pregnancy. When they told me in the office I didn't cry or anything I just was sort of in shock, when I saw my OH a few days later he was extremely excited and now I couldn't be happier and more excited for our little princess to get here. My mom was really REALLY angry she still is in some ways, my dad was disappointed but he's looking forward to his first grandchild, my younger sister is completely elated and my two older brothers have kinda distanced themselves from the situation.

I agree with Shanelley though, I don't regret a thing

I took a few days off of school because I wasn't feeling well, my period wasn't due for a week and it just got worse and worse. We had a party at mine one Saturday, like 5 days after my period was due and I didn't take very good care of myself.. the next day I went out for hungover brunch with my flatmates and best friend and started gagging violently throughout and couldn't finish, my friend noticed something was up because I said something about feeling sick ALL THE TIME (I was worried at this point). That night I told my best friend I was worried and he talked me out of it, said it was stress. the next monday It was a week after my period was due and me and a flatmate were in my room and I nearly puked in front of her.. we decided to go get tests. I took one and got my BFP and just started shaking.. my OH showed up home from work 2 minutes after and I took him into our room and told him and we both just kinda hugged for a while.. I cried a little later on when I thought he wouldn't support me or LO.

My life has already changed for the better, I'm much more motivated now that I have LO to think of in terms of school and work and saving money. I know it wasn't planned or ideal but I believe in fate.. me and OH had a bit of a scare when we were 14 and never really talked about it.

My Mom is SO happy and my dad's being alright about it.

I think we are all awesome for being strong enough to face this amazing change ahead of us

It is a big step deciding to keep a child. We r all amazing for not taking the easy way out. Whether we r alone thru it or not.

My periods have always been irregular so I just assumed it wasn't anything to worry about until I started feeling a bit queasy and lethargic. I went to my doctor (wasn't my own doctor) after taking a test and it coming back negative - i took another test there and it was negative and he said well you definately aren't pregnant then . Once my regular GP was back from holiday I went back to her and she done another test which came back negative but then done a blood test which confirmed I was pregnant. I panicked and straight away said I wanted an abortion - my doctor booked me in to the abortion clinic for the next available appointment which was 6 days from then. She wanted me to think it through properly and go back to see her the day before. Straight after the doctors I went to my mums and told her and she was great about it - unexpectedly - she was really supportive and said it was my own decision to make whatever I chose to do. I told my OH and he wanted to keep it. So I decided I would wait for my first scan and decide then - if to me it was just a blob then I seriously would've considered a termination. As it was it was a baby boy who was playing with his toes and I was 20 weeks and a day gone - after that there was no question of a termination . xxx

I had no inclination at all I was pregnant. I was actually ill with sickness the week before and went to the doctors they said it was food poisoning, it explained everything tbh. My last period was December, This was quite normal for me as I have PCO and was always told I would need fertility help to conceive, I was also on the pill.
Dan went to his gig as normal on Saturday night, I wasn't feeling very well so stayed at home, I don't remember him coming in so I must of been asleep but apparenty I woke hi up and told me he had to go buy me a pregnancy test I think I'm pregnant. So Sunday morning off he went, whilst I waited anxiously at home. He arrived back with two tests, he went into the kitchen whilst I went to do the test. I had just done the test and it came back positive. I remember screaming dan at the top of my voice to get into the bathroom and I think he was washing up so he didn't come instantly so I shouted at him again and began to get angry and threw the test at him (I'm not an aggressive person I was just in complete shock) he came up to me and gave me a big hug and said we would go get it confirmed in the morning and decided from there what we both wanted he was over the moon.
Anyway we then rang my parents I was a mess as I had been on medication that actors had adviced me not to get pregnant on as I could have a seriously disabled child if I did. I know I was stupid but I thought that will my PCO and the pill we wouldn't need to take any more precautions. My mum and dad went crazy told us we was stupid and I had ruined my life, they suggested we have a termination due to the high possibilty of a disabled child. Me and dan had already discussed this and said if our child would have no good quality of life we would terminate our pregnancy but we wouldn't no this until our scan.
So we went to the doctors on the Monday thinking they would tell me we were pregnant, how wrong was I! They felt my stomach, looked at my tests and said they thought I was 12 weeks and they would book me in for an emergency scan to check the baby is ok. A week later I had my scan I was 10 weeks and 4 days. We conceived on our anniversay, a baby made completely out of love. Bump was fine and still remains fine till this day. I'm 32 weeks pregnant expecting a little girl, she's put us through hell and back but I wouldn't change her for the world. Mum and dad are over the moon now they know she's fine, they just didn't want me and dan to have to go through that and so are dans parents.

I just remember walking to the Boots that was up the road from me when I lived in my old house, and buying the cheapest pregnancy test.. I was on the phone to my friend at the time worrying it would be positive but kind of upset that it would be negative..

As soon as I took it a little part of me for a second was over the moon, and then my life just stopped and the world stopped and everything stopped and I could just hear my heart beating.. 5 minutes later I told my mum, I couldn't keep it in. Luckily, she said she knew.. she sensed it from me.

My OH phoned me and after a chat he told me to take a test as I was 1 day late and am usually spot on..
So I had one upstairs so went to do it and he said to call him when I had.. I didnt!
I got my BFP and after about 20 mins of staring at it going 'Ahh shit!' he called me.. and I kept ignoring it..
When I finally answered I didnt say anything and he went 'It's positive isnt it.... Okay I'll be round in a min!' lol
My parents were fine! They were on holiday so I called them to tell them..
OH's mum was okay but dad has been horrible to (and about) me.. and recommended an 'A-word'
He's slowly coming round and sent him a scan pic today and he seemed to be happy for once!
