Getting Pregnant

Yesterday I got a BFP. My ‘rainbow’ BFP. Today I got another one, darker one. After all the tears, the fear of cancer, the blood work and the forced TTA, I feel blessed and can’t help but wonder if that rainbow in Mexico was a sign. If not, it was the most beautiful coincidence.
Oddly, I don’t feel scared. I have the most peaceful feeling and like this one is meant to be. I’m hoping my instincts are right this time, because unfortunately they were last time.
And to you GP, thank you. Thanks for listening and supporting and being there for me and for all the women who may just need someone who might understand. There are a lot of wonderful people on this board who deserve to be blessed with the life they so desire.

Rainbow (pr)
When DH and I were in Mexico celebrating our anniversary at the end of January, we saw the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen in my life. It struck me as odd and magnificent at the same time because we hadn’t gotten a storm or any rain so it came out of nowhere, and I could differentiate every single colour clearly. I laid on my lounger staring at this rainbow for a good 10 minutes taking it in and appreciating the beauty that nature gifted us.
