This is real right?!

I had convinced myself that I didn’t get pregnant this month. I had took some early tests and all negative. And I didn’t feel pregnant, so I was letting it go rather than getting my hopes up.

Yesterday was when I thought I would have gotten my period (though I fluctuate a few days) so I tried to take a clear blue test just because I wanted confirmation. And it was a dud. I took it as another sign I shouldn’t bother. But a nagging feeling told me that I needed to see the negative to be sure. Took a new test this morning...

It was slow to appear and I felt like it should have been darker since I’m so close to my missed period... It’s there right?! I can’t believe it. Especially because I still feel like I’m cramping like I normally would with my period, just slightly less. But this is real right?!
