Trying for a Baby Part Six
Comments

Firstly, HUGE Congrats to madbird!!!! That's fantastic news, well done.
Secondly, I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still seems very unreal to say/write those words! But the test was clear as clear can be. In fact the little plus sign started showing up as I was putting the cap back on the test after peeing on it - it showed up before the control line to say the test had worked!
I woke up at 5.30am & needed the loo, but I couldn't bear to wake OH up at that time on his day off, so I tried to go back to sleep. Woke up again at 7am, even more desperate, so woke him up & told him I was going to do the test. He said he needed to go first, so he went to the loo & then went back to bed! & then I went & did the business, & I was really calm then & had a really really strong feeling it was going to be positive, so it didn't seem a shock at all when it was. I was a bit concerned that the plus sign came up so quickly, so I went & cleaned my teeth to give it a couple of minutes to make sure it was definitely working! Then I took it back into the bedroom & said to OH "guess what? I think we're having a baby!"
I was crying & felt really shell-shocked, OH was just beaming & so happy & proud! We had a bit of a chat about it all, then we had a shag, because I don't want him to think I'm not interested now I've got what I wanted lol! Then he went back to sleep for a while & I just lay snuggled up in his arms finally allowing myself to think about the fact that I'm pregnant & all the changes & amazing experiences coming our way over the next 9 months.
Oh, & 1 last thing, we only BDed twice around the time I thought I was OVing, so as you know I wasn't overly hopeful, but as it turns out I think we did it on just the right day, which also turned out to be the day of our 6th wedding anniversary!0 -

Shaking? Stress will delay ov, but too much stress will cancel ov:oSkint_Catt wrote: »Please keep everything crossed for me that I get another high on cbfm tomorrow - I so don't want to OV until DH is on his way home - I'm shaking thinking about it - I haven't told him yet that we're still in with a chance in case he gets as disappointed as I will be
Here's ov this weekend vibes:beer:
You know, if you book the holiday, you'll end up pg and cancelling the hols, while if you don't book the holiday, you may end up regretting it:oNor do I want to forego the hols if things don't work out (no baby and missing a holiday with friends would be really depressing, don't you think). What would you do??? !!
What is the cancellation policy? If it is only the case of losing a bit of deposit...?0 -
