So I also realized that I didn’t talk much on this blog about the month that I finally conceived. I know that I’ll forget all the details over time so I thought that I would preserve them by posting the whole story now. I know it’s a bit out of order, but better late than never, right?
My mom was taking me to Hawaii for my birthday and it just so happened that it would be around the time I was going to ovulate. I just said oh well, Hawaii’s more fun and didn’t do much charting for the month. No BBT or CP or CM, just noted anything that was really obvious when I had a chance. I did still use OPKs because I had a ton f them and was a bit of a POAS addict. I used one the day before I left and it was an almost positive so I figured I’d get in one BD session before leaving. The next day I took another at the airport just to confirm and it was positive so I just figured the day before was good enough and enjoyed my trip. I decided to use the “drink ‘til it’s pink” mantra for the month because honestly, when am I going to be able to sip mai tais in Hawaii again? When I got back, Jon threw me a birthday party BBQ at home too. We made lots of jell-o shots and had a grand ol’ time.
That day I was having some very strange and strong symptoms. It felt like I was ovulating – the O pain, lots of CM, strong desire, etc. I ignored it for a day but decided what the hell, I’ll pee on another stick and see what comes up. Lo and behold, the OPK shows up positive. I took an HPT just to make sure that I was prego already and that was negative so I figured that the traveling delayed ovulation. Of course with the party and being gone for several days we had gotten to the BDing already but we did again after the positive test just for good measure.
10 days later I started up my POAS obsession and that morning it was negative. When I got home later that day I decided to look at it again (being the addict that I am) and there was a faint line on it. Now, this was an internet cheapie and I wasn’t sure if the line had color in it or if it was just an evap line. I resolved to use a FRER in the morning. The next day I did and the line was so faint I could swear that I was seeing things. I was going to a party at my BFF’s house that night so I didn’t tell anyone and just took the test with me to show her. We analyzed it under the light and decided that there was definitely a line there. I figured that I would take another FRER Sunday morning and if there was still a light line I’d use my digi.
Well, the FRER had a slightly darker but still barely there line so I used the digi and almost immediately up popped the word “Pregnant.” I decided to be cute about telling Jon so I set an appointment in Outlook that said Estimated Due Date and emailed it to his phone. I swear it took him hours to finally look at his phone but he finally did and was beyond excited after he double checked with me to make sure it was real. I had to show him the test! Haha
So anywho, that’s the whole long story.
