Thanks for all the good thoughts y'all! I haven't told many people and I don't plan to say anything to my family for a while. I just had a friend miscarry at 7 weeks, so we are trying to be cautiously optimistic. I have had no past history with anything (good or bad) so we are just moving on and hoping this sticks 
I'll admit, I was getting rather depressed about it all. I was feeling like I was a failure and couldn't do much of anything right, let alone even test positive for a pregnancy. This has been my little ray of hope. I saw a teeny speck of pink a day ago, but nothing since. That was also the day after I had a sharp pulling feeling near the cervix. I've had some tugging/pulling and tightness feelings, but not at all the bad cramps I usually get. I feel slightly constipated though. Yesterday I was in tears looking at that test. I thought it was a cruel joke to me and I made my DH go get me another test
I was shaking and crying so hard! I swore it had to be a cruel joke at first. That no way could that be right! Not the way I imagined seeing a postivie (though I used the EPT digital read out so I have a picture that says "Pregnant" on the stick). And I hoped to tell my hubby in a different way, but he was glowing. He was so happy for us, while I was pacing and wringing my hands (so to speak)
It finally set in today... I got pregnant
After trying since the holidays with nary a BFP I have a lot more hope than I used to. The only bad thing is if this sticks, I will be about 6-7 weeks when I go to WDW with my dad and aunt. I would have no intention of telling them until around 8-12 weeks... my guess just about Thanksgiving.
I have been kind of an emotional wreck the last month or two. Just seeing so many people get pregnant was killing me. I even had to skip a baby shower because emotionally I wasn't dealing. I have some depression issues, so I think this just made it worse.
The cute thing is because I have been so down, we haven't done the BD much this last month (compared to normal for us). And for sure, it would have had to been a conception date on my DH's birthday
I guess I am one of those that it holds true, quit thinking about it and it can happen! Not that all should believe that could be true for them.
Carla, I am so happy to see that you have a BFP! Hang in there and I do hope this baby sticks for you! I have kept up on all you've gone through and my thoughts are with you.
Not sure when I'll see the doc. It depends on what they say. I wouldn't be surprised if they just say they won't see me until about 8-10 weeks for the ultrasound. Like I said, I've had no history otherwise to indicate that they would need to see me regularly before then. I've always been relatively "healthy" in that area.
Nicole, wishing you all the best with the recovery after that surgery. Sounds nasty! I also am wishing you all the best with everything. I can relate to your feelings, and some day, it will be your turn!
I just realized many of you have no idea who I am. My name is Elaine and my DH and I are both 29 (he just turned it on the 13th). We've been married just shy of 6 years and have been trying to have a baby since the holidays last year.
I've had a great supportive group of friends here and elsewhere. I am sorry I had to step away though. Seeing such good news just was breaking my heart and I just needed to leave it all for a while.
Tonight I am going with a good friend of mine to his HS class reunion. He has no partner and since we've been friends since forever (I went to his prom... he's a year younger and went to a different school) he asked me as his date.
So now I get to start in on my hair and all that other good stuff! I hope you all have a great day and lots of good baby dust for those who need it!

to Carla and Elaine for these babies!!! 
That is just something I am not sure I could've been able to do! I am glad it worked though! Though I guess birthday sex is lucky since it worked for us as well 
It helps talking to other women who are going through the same thing, or have recently been through the process!
