I just stopped the birth control pill in July as my husband and I decided to try for our first baby. At 33, I expected it would take a little while (though I hoped for sooner rather than later). Only a little over a month since my last pill and I got a positive test this morning (2 actually). I’ve been tired, sleeping poorly and having very light cramps (more heaviness/fullness feeling than anything). Now I’m just hoping that it sticks. I hear so much about chemical pregnancies (and miscarriages in general) I’m really not allowing myself to be truly excited yet. Any advice for getting through the first few weeks? I’m just so nervous to lose it.

This one is very light but it’s a cheapie that doesn’t detect under 25 units of HcG
