This morning I found out I was pregnant. Woohoo! It’s day 29 of my usual 26-27 day cycle, but I didn’t test before today because I was sick of getting negatives. The longer you leave it to test, the longer you can maintain hope. Also I was quite sick around ovulation time this month, which can theoretically delay ovulation and therefore lengthen the cycle. Also, being sick (both of us) we only ‘did the deed’ the one time. And only for this purpose! Well, mostly.
I haven’t been paying as close attention to my cycles as I did for past conception attempts, so I’m not quite sure how many cycles since we started trying, but I think it’s 11. I got pregnant the very second month and then had a miscarriage at five weeks. That time though, I did three cheap tests which showed a very very faint second line, right on or after the ten minute cut-off. Then at about 30 days (longer than any cycle I’ve had since before my son Liam was born seven+ years ago) I bought an expensive test. It came out positive straight away, but it was still a pretty faint line – not encouraging that far in. Five days later I miscarried. The first time I miscarried it was a similar story. That was back before I conceived Mikaela, who is now three.
This time the second line was clear and firm in less than a minute. So I am feeling pretty optimistic and letting myself enjoy it. After all, although I’ve had two miscarriages, I also have two lovely children. Plus assuming all goes well I’ll probably be feeling as nauseous as hell all day in just a few weeks time. And I’ll probably be cranky and hormonal. So I figure I should make the most of this high while it’s here!
