I can't believe it I got a BFP!!! I am so excited. I wrote a post this morning that said I had taken a test and it was a faint line so I went out and bought more test and took them and they are all postive!! :bouncing: :bouncing:
I Cant believe it !!! I have been trying for 8 months and started taking the pregnancy potion last month and now I'm pregnant. I don't know if that helped but I am so excited.
I haven't told anybody yet. I'm trying to figure out a special way to tell everybody. I wrote a post like a week ago saying I really felt like this was my month that I really thought I was pregnant but was scared to jinx myself, but I was right and I am so happy.
Sorry I keep going on about it I'm just very excited.
Good Luck to everyone else testing this month!!

CONGATULATIONS!!!!!!! Thanks for rubbing it in those of our faces who are still trying, Just kidding :p Got some tips for you:
1: Wrap the pregnancy test in wrapping paper and give it to DH.
2: Make a meal of baby everything (baby carrots, baby back ribs etc.) Play a music tape all night that have to do with baby's (baby baby by Amy Grant, keepin my baby by madonna etc.) Rent birth related movies (Nine Months, Junior, She's Having a Baby, etc.) and make hime guess what the theme is all about. Mention you can't drink right now, and sushi's definitely not an option for dinner.
3: Ask your church to play "Happy congatulations to you" before service. During the singing have someone bring out a "Congatulations" cake with 1 candle on it and baby deco.
4: Decorate his car at work, while he is working, with a ton of pink and blue helium balloons attached to the outside and inside. Write on the windshields with shoe polish "I'm a daddy!" and hang "baby on board" signs in the windows. But make sure you stick around to see the look on his face
5: Give him a card written in chalk and write to you... on the front and on the inside write "Daddy" with the HPT taped inside.
6:Wake him up at 2:AM and tell him he needs to get used to waking up in the middle of the night since he is about to be a daddy.
7: Give him a teddy bear wearing a "I love daddy" bib and holding the HPT.
8: Put some baby stickers on a plain frames with a wide border. Then write a note on the inside of the frame. Put it in a box and write on the box 'open immediately.' When he opens it tell him you will have a picture for him to put inside the frame in about nine months.
9: Put a "Baby On Board" sticky thing on your car window
Any body else have any suggestions?

Thanks for all the great ways to tell DH about the BFP. What I think I will do is go out and by a baby bib that says I love my Daddy and wrap it and give it to him. Either that or I will do what you suggested with the wrapping the hpt. Thanks for all the great suggestions.
:angel: Wishing baby dust to everybody!!

Brooklynngruber,
I am so thrilled and excited for you :) . I was hopeing that it would be one or both of us this month. I'm sorry to report that I got AF yesterday (three days early). As usual I was extremely disappointed and wondering what's wrong with me. I will be going next month for a shot of HCG to help get pregnant. I'll keep you posted about all that. Thanks for sharing your good news and once again, I am so happy that it happened for you :)

Is your name Brooklynn. I named my daughter Brooklynn and thought I was very original, but since then I have met like 10 people with that name. How weird.Her name is Brooklynn Renee.

Bluefish I am so sorry that AF arrived, I feel bad for getting my BFP when so many women still are having trouble but it will happen for you to so don't give up. Are you still taking those herbs? I don't know if they worked for me or I just got lucky but it never hurts to keep trying them. Good Luck and keep me posted.
SpeisFamily- No my name is not Brooklynn that is the name I have always wanted to name a little girl for the past 5 years. Only thing is I have no middle name I was thinking of Brooklynn Olivia but I'm not sure. What is your daughters middle name if you don't mind me asking? Thanks

Brooklynn Renee, it was also hard to decide on a middle name. Brooklynn Olivia is beautiful, she will love it, if it's a she, keep us posted.
It will be a year trying in a couple of weeks and then I can finally start getting help for infertility, military Dr's wait so long to help.
