Well, after taking the advice of others on here to deal with my TTC
problems, I charted this month and used ovulation predictor strips.
Fortunately, I determined that I -was- ovulating, but 3-4 days later
than "typical" (i.e., 3-4 days later than the standard internet
ovulation calendars said I was ovulating). I was only cautiously
optimistic. I knew that could mean my luteal phase was too short. I
also knew that many, many months, DH and I were active in that
slightly later window and still didn't conceive.
So anyway, I have these pg test strips that are supposed to work way
earlier than anyone else's, supposedly giving results 6-10 days after
ovulation. I've taken one every day for like two weeks, and that time
frame had passed days ago. But then, this morning, I saw just the
slightest hint of a line. I took an e.p.t. digital, and yes --
PREGNANT!
Now, I'm a tad freaked out 'cause I had a bit too much wine last
night, but I'm really hoping that didn't hurt anything.
So, anyway, thanks. I hope I'll be sticking around here. This group
was so great when I was pregnant with my daughter in 2004 and my son
in 2006. I don't know if any of you remember me, but you might
remember me posting about my son when he was a newborn. He had an
arterial defect that was compressing his trachea. He'd had a cough
and stridor since birth and we had to subject him to a ton of tests
and procedures in his first 4 months of life. He still has some
problems, but by and large, he's fine.
Anyway, I'm both so incredibly happy and so completely terrified of
mc. I guess all I can do is wait.
Take care.
