FINALLY!!!!

Mandi

My cycles have been so messed up coming off of birth control (was on the pill for 4+ years) and I wasn’t ovulating on my own. I literally had scheduled an appointment with my dr to figure out what’s going on with me, check my tubes, possibly give me a pill that would force my uterine lining to shed, etc. the appointment was scheduled for my freaking birthday (that was her only open appointment) and I was dreading it!! I honestly wasn’t exactly sure where I was at in my cycle so I stopped using OPKs. Stopped taking a pregnancy test every morning and was set on the fact that I just wasn’t ovulating. My husband and I bought and moved into our first home on November 10th and I remember feeling weird cramping pains the 10th, 11th and 12th but thought “oh I hope that’s my period coming”! Then nothing for two weeks... then I just felt WEIRD. My boobs were and still are outrageously sore! I was dizzy and almost felt like I had a stomachache - like I ate something bad. This past weekend I fell asleep at 7pm on a Saturday and didn’t wake up until 8:30am the next morning. 😳 Food just tasted GOOD!! I wasn’t craving anything.. didn’t have any aversions, everything I ate just tasted so much better. Idk how to explain it.. and I had period like cramps. So Sunday morning I woke up and was like, you know what.. I feel weird I’m either about to start my period (which is what I was expecting and kind of praying for so I didn’t have to go to my appointment on my birthday) but I took an amazon easy@home pregnancy test anyways just to see. I didn’t even dip it, that’s how much I wasn’t expecting it to be positive. I peed and stuck the dip stick in my stream and set it aside. I looked at it not even a minute later and there was a vvvvfl! But at that point I thought it was probably an evap because I’m an idiot and didn’t dip a stick you are specifically supposed to dip!! I went that whole day beating myself up and trying not to think about it because I didn’t want to get my hopes up for me being d.u.m.b and not dipping it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So I convinced myself to wait until the next morning to test again with a first response. I had cramps all night and couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t get comfortable. I thought for sure my period was coming with the cramps I was having.. couldn’t turn my brain off!! FINALLY it’s morning and I rush to the bathroom with my first response.. I pee on it and before it even finished going across the screen TWO pink lines showed up!!! I AM FREAKING OUT!!! I’m so excited!! And now I do not have to take that pill or go to that appointment on my birthday! Instead, I will be celebrating!! I’m over the moon!! I am sending baby dust everyone’s way and saying my prayers for each of you!!
