Hi girls,

Well I wasn't going to do this, especially as it's still so early, but I need an outlet!

DH & I are expecting our first baby!! This will be our 4th month of trying, and it actually happened on our first month of TIE! I spent my first 3 cycles obsessing over every small thing, and POAS like crazy & I felt like I was spiralling out of control! So we decided to take a step back & just enjoy the ride, and look what happened!

My AF was due the middle of last week, and when it didn't turn up I started to get suspicious! I was going to try & hold out until Wednesday but I caved in this morning & what do you know.. two very strong BFP tests! Both times the test line actually came up quicker & darker than the control, so I think I'm definitely UTD!

It feels completely surreal at the moment. I'm excited, nervous, scared, happy, anxious.. all at the same time! I havn't told DH yet, and am planning on telling him this afternoon when he gets home from work! DH thinks I'm going to wait until Wednesday, so I think he will be pleasantly surprised that I didnt!! Any ideas on a special way to break it to him??

So, as this is our first baby, I've got NO IDEA what to do next! haha.. I know I need to book into my GP to get bloods, but I'm not sure how soon I should do that?

Below is a photo of my two beautiful BFPs! Please keep your fingers crossed that this one is a sticky!

Congratulations - I love how excited you sound!
Wishing you a safe and easy pregnancy

Congratulations

Congratulations
Wishing you a wonderful and safe pregnancy x

Can't help with the ideas re telling of DH - mine knew first
And as for the GP, I was ~4 weeks when I started all the visits and setting up of referrals etc.

Thanks lovely I'm not going to be giving out any hints until I'm further along, but I rekon you are probably on the money hehe. Happy for you to PM me

Not many will know who I am anyway I dont think.. but better to be safe than sorry!

Thanks Avery & Kriss!

Wowzer that's a strong one!!

Congratulations!

You should start the November mummies thread!

Congratulations - sending you lots of sticky vibes!

FWIW - Both times I fell pregnant - We decided to TIE (after me temping like crazy and obsessing over symptoms too!)

Well that's a positive alright! Congratulations.

Oh yay!!!! I was so excited to see this!!!

Congratulations!

I have no advice on telling DH because I just ran into the bedroom and woke DH up to tell him .

Can't wait to find out who you are too.

ETA: Once you see your doctor they'll let you know what you need to do. It will depend on what care you're wanting (private, public, etc).

Congratulations Thats wonderful and isn't it always the way that once you start TIE it happens?!

As for telling DH perhaps you could wrap it up in a box (shoe box or similar so as to put him off) tell him you bought him a present and then when he opens it he'll see those 2 lil lines It will be a wonderful moment however you do it, enjoy.
