poll: surprise or expected BFP?

[newlywaaz]

expected on my end. DS is 15 months now and will be 23m in June, and I'll deliver before it's insanely hot here, so our timing worked out perfectly!

a huge surprise..although it shouldn't have been since i only half assed used nfp..

[larastheme]

Expected, or rather, hoped for here. It's our first cycle of trying after a miscarriage. Would have been due in Jan, but I'll take June if that's what I can get.

[lmonter]

Huge surprise.
Although technically it shouldn't have been, but I don't think dh would like me to repeat that story online (but I will say a lot of the fault lies with him )

At least one worry is gone - we went and got a bigger car yesterday where I can fit 3 humans and/or carseats in the back seat.

Expected. We tried real hard this month to "catch the egg" and it worked - yippee! It was our first try.

[LacieD]

Hm. I wasn't exactly expecting it because based on the HSG I had a few months ago, I thought my tubes might be blocked, and I was actually supposed to have a laparoscopy the day I got my BFP - thank goodness I rescheduled!

But it wasn't a surprise either because I took Vitex last cycle (which is what I did the cycle before I got pg with DS) and we did the Sperm Meets Egg plan, which means we boinked like bunnies.

My DS will also be around 23 months when the new babe is born.

I knew I was pregnant, so the BFP itself was expected. But the pregnancy was not expected. We were TTC for a year with my DS, and I only had one AF since he was born. I was charting since then, with hopes of actually avoiding pregnancy but getting pregnant in a few months. I had a few fertile patches where I think my body was trying to ovulate, and we sort of gave up on the avoiding thing and sure enough I immediately ovulated and got pregnant :P

So yeah, a bit of a surprise but more than welcome, and in terms of child spacing I think it's perfect. Logistically with the rest of our life, not so much

[Girlo]

Definitely expected. We've been TTC #2 for about 2.5 years.......

I knew it was going to be positive (the test), but the pg is a surprise itself. I have a 14m old (he will be 14m tomorrow) and we already have 3 children so we were not TTC at all, but such is the way of life. We were using NFP successfully for 1.5 years - but I had nursing-brain and messed up some numbers and DH ignored the pause in his spirit so here we are. A good result though if I may say so.

Four was the # of children I felt like I would have in my life so I'm not sad, and DH is great with it as well. He is the oldest of 6 and we can still fit 4 carseats in our van (ack!) AND us, so we're good.

I knew that I was pregnant, almost immediately. I am really in tune with my body and my boobs were soooo sore. So, the BFP was not a surprise to me. I was surprised that we got pregnant the first month we tried. My husband seemed a bit more shocked but was just as happy

[lizzylou]

Expected. We started trying just last month.

[francesca]

hoped for, but still a little bit of a shock when the two lines came up. kept blinking at it. it was our second month trying, and this time i was determined. yay!

[mommyminer]

Huge surprise! I'm happy about it though.

[yonit]

Completely and totally surprised to be having #5 so soon! #4 is only 8 mos old and I had an appointment to discuss birth control next week.

But I am now totally and completely on board and looking forward to welcoming this little bundle.

tee hee ... I love that .... the pause in his spirit

[DiannaK]

expected ... we'd been 'loosely' TTC for a few months. I am surprised that DHs swimmers got the job done/lived long enough .... I didn't know that the 'naughty quickie' was close to my O date!!

[catholicmama]

SURPRISE!

I was using NFP. I ovulated DAYS earlier than all the other previous cycles...

that's why I'm here. LOL

[Chic_Mama]

Surprise but only because I was convincing myself that I wasn't PG since I had gotten my hopes so high the month before. So planned, but surprising! I actually gasped when it turned positive!

[CNutty]

planned and waited for!
It happened right away with our first, so the 4-5m of trying before getting this BFP were hard. With how sich Im feeling with this one....this may be our last!

[2happymamas]

Ours was definitely a planned baby.....I really do not see it happening any other way for us

It was our second month trying.
