Disappointed and Surprised
Well the disappointed part was that I took a test this morning and it was negative. I am only two days late but hey, late is late. I think I was reading way too much into any phantom sign I thought I had. I had actually finally resigned myself to having a visit from AF by Thursday because I had started cramping. Then by Saturday the cramps were mostly gone and AF was a no show. I didn't really talk to DH about it much other than to let him know there was the possibility. I was trying not to talk about it too much to him since we weren't really trying yet and I didn't want him thinking I was super crazy. I thought I was being crazy.
So this morning I woke up at 5:50am and just had to test. It was negative. I was so hopeful. Not that we were trying exactly but it would have been so great since I have this huge fear of having fertility problems. My surprise was how disappointed DH was. He hadn't really given me much of an impression of being excited or nervous. When I told him, he was really bummed out and said he was hoping that I was pregnant. Awwwwww.
It's nice to finally know one or the other even if it does make me sad. So now I'm working on homework and then cleaning the house. Hope everyone else is having a great weekend.
Re: Disappointed and Surprised
I am not sure what to say. I'm sorry works, I guess. I am sorry you are disappointed. I am happy that your H was disappointed too. That means that you are really on the same page.
I got to spend the day with my bridesmaids at a festival. We haven't all seen each other since the wedding.
Sorry if my post sounded super melancholy. While I am sad that the test was negative, I'm also trying to see the bright side. I guess I didn't realize how hopeful I was.
Thanks for letting me get all that out! It helps to have a place to post about it. I'm much more upbeat and positive today.
Sorry Michelle. I know I'll feel that same way as you when I get my first negative. I don't think I O'd this month and that is very sad for me. I'm going for another ultrasound this Friday.
Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
I'm sorry! However, you may not be "late" it is possible that you ovulated late, are you temping?
I agree with the other ladies, it is nice to know that you and your husband are on the same page with wanting a baby though, that's kind of a big deal ;o)
So there's a funny story. Apparently depending on the test the length of time to pee on the stick varies from the length of time you hold it in the cup (if you pee in a cup). I didn't realize this until yesterday.
I bought the same kind of test and a different kind just to be sure. And.....my husband is never going to let me live this down, the not reading the directions properly part.
both tests were positive this morning! So it's a very happy 4th of July.

OMG! I can't believe what I am reading! I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats! You must be so happy!
PS- Don't forget I was the first to call this when you started talking about symptoms!

guess you should read those directions more carefully.
Thanks!
Tara, I went off my birth control in the middle of April. I honestly thought it would take longer as a doctor diagnosed me with PCOS when I was about 22. My sister was diagnosed with endometriosis (sp?) just last year. And my mom has PCOS and had to go through a lot of fertility treatments to have kids. I really did not expect this to happen in just three months. So now I'm just hoping and praying that everything goes well. It is still early days.
How the heck did I not see this yesterday!? Congrats!!! I am so excited for you! I'm going to live vicariously through this pregnancy with you :op so make sure there are bump pictures and tons of updates lol.
WooHoo!!
Thanks Amity! I'm sure I'll be posting lots of updates.
It's still very surreal.
Today's update: I called my doctor this morning and am scheduled for next Friday. I've got lots of questions bouncing around in my head already. I should probably make a list.
Lists are good, I can only imgaine the amount of questions you must have. Hopefully you get them all answered next Friday.
