Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

hi all,

i would like to share my story with all of you. our race started in dec05. we decided to have a baby in dec. we have been married for 4 years and i am 27 years old and will be 28 in this november.
i went to the doctor before we planned the baby and did all my tests and started taking prenantals right away. after 4 months i was not feeling very happy becasue we were trying hard. i read on the website that if i am consuming more than 2 cups of caffine i should stop and should start drinking green tea and which i did. i didn't even drink one cup of regular tea.
than i bought ovulation kit in may. we treid again on the ovulation days but got my preiods and than in june we made love 1 day after my period stopped and also on the 21, 22 and 30 of june. i used the ovulation kit that month too.

but my breast was so sore on the begin of july and i thought maybe i was getting my periods early so wroght to archie. my periods were due on the 14 of july. archie said i might get my periods eartly. but my breast were getting were sore day by day. anyhow, i also started to feel constipated and i noticed that my breast veins were vissible. but no intensions that i could be pregnant. my period day came and no periods. my huband asked me so did you get your periods yet i said i will tell you. on the 14 of july i was coming to work and i decieded to buy a home pregnancy test. i work at night in a office.
i had in my mind to do the test on monday. but around 2141 i just decieded to do the test at my work. i think i couldn't wait. so i went to the bathroom with the plasic foam cup and with the pregnancy test and put the cup with urine and the stick on the toiletpaper holder.
i think i didn't even take 10 sec, the 2 lines were there. i was so happy. and thanked god thousand times. i am having on and off cramps but all around i am feeling good. no nausea, vomitting, blotting or tiredness. i am going to the doctor on monday for blood test. i will keep you guys posted. and i wish all of you guys good luck and please pray to god that i will have a great pregnancy.

regards

hearty congratulations. I am so happy for you and seems a perfectly healthy pregnancy.


Although I thought of it as a pregnancy I also knew you were trying hard from your previous messages and did not wanted to raise your hopes.
I did not say in last message that you will get period, I stared message saying \";less likely be period and might be a possibility of having 22 days cycles\";. That was a message saying you could go either period or pregnancy.
I usually do not want to add to stress of couples who have been trying seriously. Because if they fail I know they are going to come saying \";archie, you said I would be pregnant then how come i got my periods.\"; IC's it's easier to say you could be pregnant but not so easy on that couple to see menses at the end so I never like to say you are pregnant. I always say it in %age.

very less likely be period on it's way unless you were ovulated on/or around 6-7th day post ovulation then you may get period in a week and that this cycle will be around 21-22 days, which is normal not a concern.
