I got married in October and we've always wanted to start a family right away

I got married in October and we've always wanted to start a family right away. I was on the birth control pill for 9 months because I had terrible acne and couldn't find anything else that worked.

In the beginning of March we decided that babies were more important to us than my complexion, and I went off the pill! It took about six weeks for my cycle to regulate again and this app was a huge help! I knew I was ovulating on May 8th and we did the BD 5 days in a row just to be safe 😉. I felt REALLY moody the next few weeks and had a lot of light intermittent cramping. I took a test the day after my missed period and thought I saw a faint positive so I went and bought 4 more that were all different brands and they all confirmed that I was preggers!!! Today I'm 5 weeks and 1 day.

Not a very exciting or emotional story, but we are thrilled and feel so blessed. Of course I'm nervous about miscarrying because I'm pretty sure I have endometriosis and ovarian cysts so we aren't telling anyone until I get an ultrasound to confirm that everything looks okay at 12 weeks.

I love this app with all the helpful tips and I've been inspired by reading about how supportive and encouraging all of you women are. I pray that all of your families are built in their own unique ways ❤️
