Is this real?

Question

So I am a mom to a crazy 19 month old little lady and my husband and I had always planned for more. We didn't think that meant right now! It took us a year to conceive our little lady and also had a MC in there too. So we figured as long as we track my cycle do the opposite of what we did to get preggo the first time we should be golden right? WRONG! I got my BFP after testing randomly 3 times over the last week yesterday! It just doesn't feel real! I was super symptomatic the first go round and I legit feel nothing except some mild breast tenderness and bloating. I'm almost scared I'm going to have another MC just because I don't have any symptoms which I know is silly. Anybody else pleasantly caught off guard and still can't believe it?

Answer

We were! With our first we had been together a little over a year and having sex for a year before we got pregnant. We found out 1 week after moving in together! So this time I got off birth control in July and waited a couple cycles to try but we didn’t really try because we were really busy from October thru December so our first month really trying was January, we thought it would take at least 6-12 months...NOPE! Got pregnant in January!! We were definitely caught off guard a little, but we are very excited

Answer

We were. We knew there was a possibility but took 7 months of actively trying and 3 months of no condom after birth control with my first (which ended as an ectopic in Jan 2018). I had cramps and ewcm 3 weeks later only had sex twice and got pregnant. We were never told to wait. I had taken opks at the beginning of my cramps and got negs and figured I wasn't ovulating. The Monday before I tested I took opks as I had one left sided cramp and my opk was the darkest its been. Through the week it was getting darker (but taking a long time to surge which I thought was odd-but we just had an ectopic so who knows right). Well never felt like ovuation I felt like my period with lighter cramps and was crazy bloated. I joked with dh on the Saturday saying I'll test it will be negative anyways and my cheapie was a positive we were in complete shock!
