I can't believe it. This baby is already a miracle. I had three internal ultrasounds this cycle. All concluding the same thing... I didn't ovulate, the cycle was failed, nothing worked.
On Monday I decided to call my doctor to get a prescription of provera. I was on cycle day 36 and I was sick of waiting around for my period. I was extremely crampy and I figured my period just wasn't going to start on it's own. They called me in an RX and we went to pick it up after a shopping trip. I grabbed a two pack of pregnancy tests to double check before I started the meds. Provera can be lethal to a fetus... so I always take a test before starting it. I fully expected it to be negative. When we got home William and I both had to go to the bathroom so we divided and conquered. I took the test and as I was watching it develop I was like "That's weird, the control line is normally farther over." The test continued to develop though and another line showed up. I think my jaw hit the ground. I was in complete shock. I immediately thought about taking the other one but knew there was no way I had any urine left to do that. I just stood there for a minute. There were two very dark pink lines. I've always heard that "barely positive" tests could be false positives so my first thought was... "Well, maybe one of the meds I took this month is causing a false positive".
When William and I reconvened in the living room, I motioned him over to look at the test. I think he was like "Seriously? No way." I frantically started calling doctors (which always results in leaving messages). They called back eventually and confirmed that this was not a false positive. Before they had called back I had already taken a few more tests.
I have an ultrasound scheduled for 2:45 on Friday July 8th. I will be 6 weeks and 5 days then... hopefully everything looks good. There is still a big chance of miscarrying but I'm going to try to stay positive.
So the things I want to remember about this week are... We bought Texas A&M onesies on Monday before finding out we were pregnant. William even let me. I think it was our little sign from God.
I loved Dana's reaction... she screamed... that made me happy.
5 week stats:
Baby is the size of a sesame seed.
This week the heart starts pumping blood.
I will start making extra blood for myself and in a few weeks I'll have 40% more than normal.
Symptoms:
I wish I had more... because it would make me feel like things were fine.
So far just peeing a lot more often.
I've been pretty tired.
I have some uterine cramping... but no bleeding.
Also, when I get hungry... I'm HUNGRY! (Ask Dana.)
