For all of u that are praying for a BFP, please read

I guess, this should be posted in Glow announcements, but what I truly want more than telling the world that I'm finally pregnant, is our journey, in hopes that I can raise hope and give some good advice to some of you.

Me and my SO have been together for 3 years this June..we have been TTC for the past 6 months. And once we started TTC, we went all out..checking CM, cervix position, temperature, ovulating tests, and lots of sex. The stress of it all took a very big toll on our relationship. ..for the past 3 months we fought over silly things. ..over money. .over anything. .because we have been stressing about how bad we wanted to have a child. And when u work so hard, and keep getting the dreaded pfn, things can get pretty hectic. We started seeing sex as a chore...even though we wanted whole hearted to have a child..just had sex because Glow told us it was the optimal time. ..at first we had lots of sex, but as time went by...we only did it because the ovulating tests said so and the app said so.

Last month we decided to stop ovulation tests and no longer use this app. I got on it simply to answer questions..erased all my tracking, all my periods. .. wanted nothing to do with it. .

My SO was so happy and so was i...

We once again enjoyed sex, knowing we will no longer have to track anything. ..

And of course, today, 4 days after my highly irregular cycles (35 days one month, 39 days the next, 42 days after that. .etc), today. ..I decided to take a test, knowing it will be negative...but instead I got two big fat lines. .in less than 10 seconds... I am still in shock, while my SO refuses to think it's real, because we have been trying so hard with no results, and now that we stopped trying, we got it...my symptoms were identical to pms, reason why I didn't think anything about missing my period...tomorrow I'm going to get a blood test, so I can prove to my SO that the good news is in fact true.

I'm sharing this, because I want all of you that are crying like I was, praying, hoping, stressing, testing...to take a big breath, hold it in for 5 seconds and exhale...if life has become stressed while TTC for a while, maybe it's time to slow down a bit. ..start enjoying life again..take a break from the 6 different apps ur using (i had 6 of them. ..)

Maybe it's time to test less, worry less, enjoy sex with your SO again...and who knows...you might guess your bfp sooner than you would with all the checking and stressing. .

I feel so blessed. ..so happy...

I wish all of you TTC, lots of baby dust...and to get that bfp already!

Good luck to everyone...
