After my Dr. apt last month I was temping and using OPKs. It was the first time in the 8 months we were trying that I KNEW without a doubt exactly when I ovulated. I did not think I was pregnant, in fact I was pretty dissappointed because it was the best chances we've probably had and I felt perfectly normal. Unlike all the other months were I swear I am making up all kinds of symptoms and think for sure this is it and nothing... this month I felt completely normal. BUT I decided to test because we were going to a banquet that night and I wanted to know if I could have some cocktails there or not.
I peed on the stick, walked away and then came back to check on it and couldn't believe my eyes. Was that a second line there or was I imagining it? I took a picture with my phone, looked at the picture and yes, there was definately a second line. I ran to wake up my husband and I asked him do you see a second line? He, in his half asleep state looks at it foggy eyed and says, yeah I think so... but I don't think he really believed it. I uploaded the picture to the computer and posted it on this preconception forum that I have been on for 8 months now and when I had the first stranger on the forum tell me I better drink water that evening because that was a definate BFP... I was floored. Of course I was still kind of in shock... so I went to the store during my lunch break and bought a digital test... after all there is no denying that! Went home and immediately peed on it and the most beautiful word popped up:
(Yes, I took a picture... hey, it is exciting stuff!)
I am still nervously excited, but I also know that miscarrages are very common and I have just been praying that everything is ok. I am still pretty early so I probably won't be able to get into the Dr. for at least a week or two, BUT I am going to call just to find out tomorrow morning.
According to the internet I am 4 weeks pregnant... the baby is the size of a poppy seed and I am due Novemeber 4. WOW I still can't believe I am typing this.
You get soo used to dissappointment every month it is hard to believe it is real when it really happens to you!
I have been asking the Lord to bless us with this for months now and the only thing I can think of is this verse from the bible:
Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened up to you... :)
