The first things on my list are nailing down which vitamins I want to take and where to get them (quality, etc), and getting a couple good pregnancy books referred on MDC (staying away from What To Expect....). DH went on his first pregancy errand tonight to get me some folic acid.We married in February, and have gone off and on with wanting to TTC earlier than later. We felt it most strongly with the approach of this cycle and were quite serious about TTC this cycle, and if no bfp, we'd just wait until next year. With him graduating from seminary in late May 09, and us moving over the summer, we thought the plusses of current insurance and having our families around (when they come for graduation) would be nice, plus the support of our current church.
We ended up deciding to wait and be married a few more months (just had 6 mo). DH then came down with the chicken pox, and we said, God seems to be confirming our decision to wait. There were a couple weeks where we didn't have IC and about a week where I didn't temp since he was sick and I was distracted. I started temping again a few days later and got three high temps, so ovulation must have occurred while I didn't temp. We had IC (for the first time in two weeks) two days after my three high temps, and then AF was late. I normally have a 10-12 day LP and it was getting on day 16! My bbs were sore and I felt like AF was imminent.
So today, I said, DH, should I just take a pregnancy test to see the negative and move on? He agreed and much to our SHOCK and SURPRISE, I got a bfp!!!! I couldn't believe it. We are flabbergasted. Look at my chart...how did we conceive???
If this indeed is a pregnancy, it is so plain to us that this is God's will and that He orchestrated things so that it wasn't us saying, yes, let's have a baby now, we're ready, it's the right time, etc. It's up to Him, always!
So I'm going to test tomorrow also and take my temp. I stopped temping after 3 high temps like I normally do. I do feel pregnant somehow, though I can't really explain it.
My edd with a fuzzy ovulation date is around May 14. The main downside to being pg now is working full time throughout my pregnancy. I work at a desk though so that is good. Hopefully, I will feel pretty good. No sickness yet (does that kick in a couple weeks from now?), just sore bbs and the feeling like AF is imminent.
Oh, I'll be 29 in three weeks and DH is 30.
