hi all - i'm sure you've seen me pop up recently in posts but i do a lot of lurking. my story in summary - my DH and i were married in may 2011 and decided we wanted to enjoy the first few years of marriage before starting a family. in feb 2012 my MIL was diagnosed with stage 4 gallbladder cancer which completely threw us off track and changed our perspective on starting a family. we casually started to TTC in february but this month was the first time i tracked my temps, CM, used an OPK and really listened to my body versus relying on a stupid iphone app.
the last few days i have had some symptoms which included leg cramps, mild back pain, bloating and pressure (pressure felt when i laid on my stomach), increased CM that had a yellow tint and some shortness in breath (i do a considerable amount of walking for work and noticed it fairly quickly). i tracked symptoms but ignored them because i wasn't experiencing the two most common - fatigue and sore breasts... until yesterday. i took 3 short naps and felt shooting pains in my chest.
i have a 35ish day cycle and i O'd on the 7th so i'm 11DPO and AF isn't due for a bit. last night i took a test and saw nothing... actually i didn't even study it just glaced and tossed it. this morning, however, with my fpotd i went for it again and to my surprise there was a faint line! called my husband in and he pointed it out immediately not even knowing what he was looking for.
anyway, here are two angles. let me know what you think! i hope i'm not going crazy and it isn't too early. obviously in person it's more apparent.

And I can totally relate to the stage 4 cancer changing your perspective. My mom also has stage 4 cancer and DH and I are really torn on whether we want to wait until her fight is over or if we want to continue our family now, so that she can (hopefully) be here to see her newest grandbaby.
Sorry for the derail, just want you to know that I understand and sympathize. H&H 9 months to you!
Babybear4 - it was a no brainer when she said she was sad she would never hold her grandchild. DH and I INSTANTLY regretted waiting but we can't predict the future. I wish she were here today to share in the good news!

I felt very much the same way after I found out I was pregnant with my daughter..My mom passed away june 28th last yr..just a few months shy of my daughters birth and never got to meet her..I like to think she know's..Congrats on the positive..I really don't think thats an evap or an error..it looks way too real..
