Ohmygosh!

Well, I did test as planned this morning and… POSITIVE!

I got up at the shocking hour of 4.30am (about an hour ago) to do the test with T before he left for work ‘just in case’ it was good news.

At first, on the test window of the stick it looked like a line straight away, but when I compared it to the box i realised the line was across the window, not down like it should have been so I thought that was it.

But then, as I stared at it, willing a line to appear, the faintest hint of a vertical line started to appear like magic… ohmygoodness!

I left it a minute or so until I could be sure I wasn’t imagining things… then took it through to T, who was still in the shower, with a big smile on my face. He said “that’s a definite line!” and then gave me a very wet hug and kiss! We went downstairs and had a celebratory cuppa before he went off to work, now I’m sitting in bed with my laptop taking it all in.

According to the wonderful www.fertilityfriend.com my due date (going from ovulation) is 17 June 2010, a few week’s after T’s 30th birthday and just before our 6th wedding anniversary.

I’ve got no symptoms to report really, just the ones that lead me to think we might have been lucky earlier on in my cycle. Somehow, the day after ovulation, I just felt pregnant. I was bloated and a bit crampy and I just had a feeling. I also had a vision of a baby boy – so we’ll have to wait and see whether that comes true or not!

Aside from that, i’ve had days when i’ve been particularly hungry, and I had a really lightheaded and dizzy spell on CD20, which was 4dpo. Last time with Lilly, I remember having really sore boobs by this stage, but that hasn’t happened this time… at best there is sometimes a dull ache which is almost inperceptible… I haven’t been able to decide whether I was largely imagining things at times.

I suppose the pink tinged cm on CD 27 – 11 dpo – must have been implantation. I had hoped that might be the case, but by yesterday I was just so nervous about doing the test!

So there we are, doing it all again. Wow.

Right, better get up and have my shower before my darling little Lil wakes up. She is going to make a lovely big sister!

Ready to do it all again

October 7, 2009

Well – it has been over a year since my last post on here.

Lilly is now 21 months, walking, talking, laughing, tantruming… she’s a fully fledged little person.

I’ve neglected this blog for too long – I rediscovered it today and had a read back over it – it’s just lovely to have an account of such a lovely time in my life to look back at.

I think it’s time to make a return. And it is with news, of sorts.

We are trying for baby number 2!

Yes, since April this year, we’ve been hoping for a little brother or sister for our Lillypie.

Today is CD29, 13dpo. Test date is tomorrow. I feel sick with nerves and the memories of all those painful BFNs from last time are too fresh in my mind.

I have a mix of feelings in my stomach about all this. I’ve felt positive that this cycle might be the one since the beginning. All the way through, ovulation and initial dpos, i felt sure that this one would be successful. Obviously, as D-Day looms my confidence has been worn away slightly, and I’m currently erring between feeling quietly confident and then pretty sure i don’t feel pregnant.

Unfortunately I think i’ve rather got T’s hopes up this cycle, as well as my own. Naughty girl.

Since coming off the pill in April, i’ve had three proper cycles – this is the fourth. The first two were 34 days long. The last one was 28. So the test will either be two days late or four days early, depending on which one you believe.

Wish me luck….
