First ever BFP after 5 yrs ttc!

Ta

Hi fellow mama's! I'm Tara (Tar-rah) and I'm a 27 yr old SF Cali native! I've been with my fiancee for 8 yrs as of this May! We have been TTC on and off for about 5 years and didn't think we could easily conceive. I had a chemical pregnancy that ended 3/29/15 so I'm very nervous and scared about this pregnancy. I didn't get s positive test with that one but my DR was sure it was a chemical pregnancy/early miscarriage.

We had JUST started trying again after taking awhile to heal from loosing our beloved Pit Bull in December. Also lost my grandma 2 weeks later. The crazy thing is I asked my pup and granny on their deathbeds to please help me get the baby I desire so badly. And the night before I got my BFP I prayed and begged them to show me a sign they were still with me! I feel this is truly my angels working miracles for me! I feel so blessed to have had this surprise miracle come naturally! As I was about to go see a fertility specialist. We also only BD'ed once MAYBE twice during my fertile window...which truly makes this such a miracle! I had an ovarian cyst removed at 17 and have always been paranoid of it effecting my fertility.

We believe our baby was conceived 3/24 and according to my LMP I am 5 weeks tomorrow! I got my bfp this past Saturday 4/8! I had some severe boob pain a few days prior. Also had been extremely sensitive and moody (flipped out when my mom shushed me so she could watch her show lmao). I also had a cold last week and I NEVER get sick! I also had diarrhea pretty badly for almost a whole week, which I couldn't pinpoint either. So I figured I'd take the test for the hell of it since i "knew" it would be negative, since all I have had hundreds of negatives and never ever got a positive. I watched the pee go over the test and saw the control line start to pop up. Haha its funny I said to myself lemme just pretend for a sec its positive just so I wont be sad its negative (weird irrational thought lol). But almost immediately the second line started showing....and my mouth freaking dropped to the floor. I always thought Id cry tears of joy if I ever got my BFP but instead I was just in complete and utter SHOCK. This was so unexpected and we had literally JUST started trying again! I didnt even wait the 3 mins. I screamed for my bf and I couldn't even speak I just stood there holding the test with my mouth hanging open. Haha I wish I could have seen the look on my face!

Ive been getting more excited about it but I did have a little scare today. I PRAY its nothing but my fmu test line did come up faint today (test on bottom). Im hoping its just because I upped my intake of water! Because I cannot bear to loose this baby. Miscarriage can do that to you..you hold your breath every time you go to wipe or with every little twinge or cramp. I cannot believe I found out so early! I randomly bought this test about 10 days ago and to think if I didnt have it, I probably would have waited to test for another week or so! Im so grateful and I really hope this will be our sticky rainbow baby!!
