My real journey begins... the fun part...
I believed in my heart that I could conceive naturally after my unfortunate event... so I started charting... basically, you take your basal body temperature at a certain time every morning so you can tell when you're ovulating and the birds and the bees, yada yada yada... I ovulated really late in this cycle... my hormones were still a little weird so it caused a prolonged ovulation... thank goodness I charted though... smile...
So, I waited until 10 dpo (days past ovulation) to take a test, which is still really early, but I had a feeling, so I went ahead and did it...
Positive!! It was a faint line again, but this test was taken days earlier than the last pregnancy and I couldn't even get a positive out of this particular brand of test on the last...
My emotions were different this time... I was excited and obviously scared, but this time it seemed more real to me... like it's supposed to happen now...
I called my infertility specialist that I went to over a year ago to see if she could do a bloodtest for me... I went in that day to confirm and check my levels (hCG, progesterone and estrogen)... the test came back positive and the levels were fine for 10 dpo... I told them about my previous miscarriage and they told me to come back two days later for a second test to make sure my levels were rising healthfully... they came back great and they suggested one more test two days later, and they came back great as well...
So, everything seems like it's going to be okay... of course it's still very scary for me... I worry at night... it's sometimes hard to go to sleep because I'm afraid that I will wake-up having a miscarriage... I notice every ache and pain that I have... I had a lot of menstrual cramping last time, which was a sign of a pending miscarriage... I haven't had any menstrual cramping this time, but I believe the prenatals that I'm taking are causing me gastrointestinal pains and that sometimes scares me...
On the bright side... I'm six weeks pregnant... Friday, May 23rd... and I'm excited to still be!!
