I have no idea if or when I'll ovulate or if I already have and I'm pg right now. I know that's sad. I'm gonna wait another 2 weeks, to when AF is supposed to be "due". Last cycle was 8 weeks long. God knows when my next AF will be or where I am in my cycle.
I always show the tests to DH. He always wants to see them. My showing a test to him wont drop any hints on him. It'll just surprise him when he sees the bfp and not a bfn. Creative, I know. *sarcasm* I'm not very creative when it comes to presents and stuff. I'm gonna be reading others' responses to this and if I read a really cute idea, i just might have to steal it.

I got a positive OPK today so I should be in the 2WW withing the next 2 days... DH said he is feeling very positive this cycle. I'm not sure how I would tell him lol he is usually the one who looks at the test first because I'm too scared too.

I'm 2 DPO today and really praying for a sticky BFP this cycle, as I'm sure everyone is! As for telling DH, it all depends on if he's home when I test. If not, I plan on calling my doctor right away and testing there (my OB had said I could just come in and get the tests done when I got a BFP) and then I'm not sure. I have a cute idea, that someone on the TTC board had said a while back, but I somehow feel like "wasting" it on another loss would be bad. I'm sure that sounds awful, but I want my cute idea to be for a baby that we have for a long, long time and can raise and then tell him/her how I told his/her daddy. The idea is to tell DH that the oven is broken when he comes home, and then when he opens it to look, have a hot dog bun sitting in it....get it? I have a "bun in the oven". LOL the other idea is to somehow dress up our dogs (who are our kids right now) with "big sister/big brother" shirts or bandanas LOL. Not sure...hopefully I can use one of these in 2 weeks!!!

I'm in! 4 DPO - very close to you, Kary!
I have to start testing early (not that I had to be convinced much!) so that I can start the treatment on time And DH is asking me when I can start testing, so there won't be much surprising him unless I do it in the morning after he leaves for work... which I might do. Not sure how I'd be surprise him when I got home that night... I'd at least like to get him a card or something!

Yeah Im going to try to wait until 10 days...thats not too far but its still so hard to wait ugh this is how I talk to myself every day im in the 2ww. But really Im going to try hard to wait 5 more days!

I'm not sure if i'm in the 2WW, I think I am, but i'm not sure I ovulated...AF should be here saturday if i'm back to my regular 26 day cycle...I'm still having cramping/dull aches...I thought I had some sore BB's, but it's hard to till since my milk just dried up not long ago, and it could of been in my head...I had a little more spotting today, just a little light red/pink, nothing since...I'm not sure how i'll tell DH...I just came out and blurted it last time, this time it would be nice to do something special.

I got my cross hairs today... so I am 3dpo... I get a BFP... I have a little stocking... I will wrap up in a box... I am not sure if I will wrap it up in Chrismas paper, or Birthday paper... (Since DH birthday is Christmas day) I don't know I can hold out till christmas morning either... so it might be an early Christmas/Birthday present! But the other idea is putting the stocking on the tree.. and taking out a light.. and having DH try to fix the lights on the tree.. and have the stocking with the test on the tree.... Or my last idea.. is wraping it up.. and putting the test under the tree and see how long it takes DH to see it.. and mark it To Tom from Santa Stork... something silly like that...

Those are way cute ideas kary...I would take the test the night before (hopefully it would still be positive by the morning but if not take another in the morning). That way you are prepared! I love the idea about the santa stork that one is way cute! Maybe if I get a + Ill wait to tell my DH...but I dont know if I can keep my mouth shut for a week!! But it sure would be a fun Christmas present for him. I guess Ill see if I can keep it hush hush. Good luck

I'm a week away from testing and very nervous!
Ov day and the next were very crampy...I'm hoping it's a good sign.
I'm not sure how I'll tell SO...I was 2 days late last month and he said
something about robbing an armored truck...lol....

Today is O day for me so tomorrow starts my 2WW. As for telling DH if I do get a BFP, he will be there with me when I POAS. When I POAS when I was pregnant with my daughter, I did it when DH wasn't there (I didn't know he wanted to be there....weird huh?) and he was upset. So, now whenever I POAS, DH is waiting with me to look at it a few minutes later.

I'm 5DPO. I haven't thought of any ways to tell DH. I'm not feeling it this cycle.

Well assuming that my three day spot/bleeding stint was just a wonky thing and not an actual period I am in the 2ww. I suspect I ovulated last Wednesday or Thursday so I guess I would have another week to go before AF would be due. So she should be here next Wednesdayish. I have no idea. I will just hang out and if she doesn't show by the week of Christmas I will test I guess. I figured I would put the test in DH's stocking  .

I just started my 2ww. I honestly don't think there's a chance this cycle because of when we DTD. It wasn't that often and I'm not sure that it was close enough to when I O'd. So, I guess we'll see. The only thing making me think I might be is that I'm just as sick as I was a few months ago when I got my BFP and I never get sick this many times close together. So, it might be related. If it is, I'm not sure if I'm going to tell DF in a cute way or not this time around.

Kary, I love your idea about presenting a BFP to DH! My DH's b-day is also Christmas day and should I get so lucky to see a positive, I might do that, put it wrapped on the tree and see if he notices. I'm due to test on 12-13, the day AF is due so I've got my fingers crossed, but I'm not too hopeful this cycle.

I'm at 7 DPO today. I was planning on holding off to test until the day AF is due, but now I don't know if I can wait that long. I may end up POAS on Monday at 11 DPO. Plus, DH is leaving to go out of town for a class on Sunday and will be home Friday (the day AF is due). If I get a positive before Friday, then I can get DH to take me to the hospital to get a blood test done after he gets home on Friday (that would be 15 DPO)! I have decided that I'm not going to get blood work done again unless I see a dark positive. Last time I felt a little foolish having it come back negative...
With DD, I did a cute surprise thing for DH. With my loss in June, I also did a cute surprise thing. When I think back on that one now, it makes me sad, so I don't know if I will do anything cute anymore. I feel jaded when it comes to pregnancy now and I ALWAYS think "Just because I'm/she's pregnant doesn't mean I'm/she's going to have a baby!" I wish I didn't think that way.
