DH is depressed

Well, as I thought this is a HUGE blow to hubby. I know he will get over the initial shock of it all. Heck I am in shock myself. I have to remind myself my daily POAS that I am indeed pregnant. My (o)(o) are puffy already and my face is breaking out like a teeny-bopper. I have no idea how far along I am. I guess we will know Monday. We need this weekend to just let it all sink in.

Darker Lines!!!


I POAS again this afternoon it's darker~! No test results yet, stupid office they are blowing me off! They didn't even bother to call me back yesterday. Now we wait until Monday. The girls on the boards are dying to know and so am I. The level of chatter on our thread is mind blowing, it is a MIRACLE that I am PG! I can't believe how many girls are coming out of the woodworks to congratulate me, I have never felt so loved! Awwwwww.... sniff sniff.

I am telling my sister today, she is going to be so shocked and HAPPY!

I am going in for a blood test on the way to work. They told me that I will have the results in by 1:00 pm. I decided to tell Pat tonight when he gets home. Ok really nervous here, but deep down VERY EXCITED!

STICK BABY STICK!

How Do I Break The News?

I can NOT believe that I am pregnant. My friends are going to be SHOCKED! My sister will be so happy, my husband is going to pass out. How am I going to tell him? I don't want to wait like I did the last time. I better call me OB and see if I can get a quantative beta, the last time I saw them they told me that if I was to get pg again I should look at my #'s, my progesterone level was so low 3 yrs ago they feared m/c and put me on pregesterone supplements (now that was fun). I'll call them today. I feel really crampy like AF is coming. No spotting and now I a officially "late". I guess that's what I will tell hubby, "she's late". What else can I say? Ohhhhhh I am not looking forward to this.

HPT Time

Where is everyone? I need to post this pic of the OPK stick, they are going to freak out, they know what this means. Thank God I have my support crew, my ovusoft mafia buddies, they have been through this whole ordeal with me and my wanting another baby for 3 long years. Ah ha, I have found Maggie online, she will be my partner in crime. I break out a FRE test and one of Kel's cheapy tests, I dip them both with Maggie waiting patiently (or so).... oh God the suspense... the dye is running across the tests the and there are 2 PINK LINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH


MY


GOD

types Maggie.... you are SO PREGNANT.


Pat is going to die.

POAS - should I?


This is it! The moment I have been waiting for for almost 3 years.... and I am N-E-R-V-O-U-S as hell.... the girls on the boards have me all convinced that I am indeed pregnant. But seriously how can that be humanly possible? I have one tube and besides we only had sex once and I don't even know when I ovualte! This is such a loooooong shot, I keep telling them. So they are coaching me to POAS (pee on a stick) not just any stick but a OPK (ovulation predictor kit) the one that detects the LH surge, that preceeds ovulation, for the mere fact that the pregnancy hormone HCG also makes the LH line show DARK as if you were about to ovulate. This is too much to think about. I sit down to pee and SUDDENLY remember what Kel said, POAS!!! I stop mid-stream, what a mess, I reach for a bag under the sink and I rip one open and POAS. I set the sick down on the counter and within a minute I there it is a DARK LH line... HOLY SHIT I think it's time to take a HPT.

My hands are cold and clammy, I am sick to my stomach. Can this be really happening?
