Thank you so so much for your lovely messages! Sorry I couldn't post more yesterday -lots going on - but had to log on quickly to let you girls know!
So...my story...
As you know, I was totally convinced that I had missed the boat this month. DH and I had been really busy and had only BD twice in the cycle (CD8 & CD10). I had susopected that I OVd around CD11 so had planned this and practically leapt on DH on CD10! (Very glad I did now!) Anyway, I had negative OPK results throughout this time and my temp was going up and down so I was beginning to think I probably didn't OV at all this cycle. Fertility Friend thought I OVd on CD16 and then cancelled that. This cannopt have been true as I didn't have s*x after CD10! (Immaculate conception?!)
Anyway, AF was due on 15 Aug...but didn't come. I felt sure she was on her way though as I had this sort of heavy, dragging 'down below'. Not cramps, just a sort of pre-AF feeling. No tiredness, nausea, funny tastes, smells or anything else. I feel exactly the same. Anyway, yesterday, I went to the loo, and wasn't really thinking anything about AF being late, except a passing thought that it would be just typical if my regular cycles started to mess up now we were TTC. Anyway, I had a free First Response test in my OPK kit andI just thought, what the hell, let's test. I did not for ONE SECOND think I was PG. So , I peed on the stick, and before i even had the lid back on, there were 2 bloody dark pink lines! I had to sit down on the toilet. I was in TOTAL DISBELIEF. I still am. I had to leave it a few hours to tell DH as I couldn't get my head around it at all. I know so many people who can't have children and had have worried for years about this. I had all these elaborate plans of how I'd tell DH, but in the event, when I went to say it, no fancy gimmick seemed right. I just started to laugh and he said what's wrong, and I said 'I'm pregnant'. He was in total shock too! We both are. I am surprised at my own reaction. I am obviously elated (though I know it's VERY early days - 4 weeks I think) but I am still in shock. I am going to the GP this morning to tell them as I'm about to leave on a 3 week business trip. DH and I are not going to tell anyone until after the 12 week scan (if we get ae lucky to get there). I am so unbelievabley gobsmacked...it has not sunk in at all yet. It is almost like I am completely numb! I just never thought I would be one of the lucky ones...and I am so unbelievably grateful!
I am sending bucket loads of baby dust your way ladies and hope I can keep my little passenger safe in the days and weeks ahead.
Lots of Love,
