Lets go back in time a little....
A year ago my husband and I decided to go off the birth-control and let what ever happen, happen... I think we had both decided that we were ready for have a kid but not quite sure about actually doing it since we aren't very financially stable. Back in Feb I told my husband that I seriously wanted to try conceiving and he was ok with that. I would like to have a child before I turn 30 and I don't have much time left for that yo happen.
After almost a year of being of the BC and not having any luck yet, I was starting to get worried... I have 2 close family members that haven't had any luck for a long time with getting PG and I was really starting to freak out that it might be something hereditary.
I looked up a bunch of tips on better ways to conceive including how to figure out the best time. About a week ago we set up an appointment with the Dr. to talk about conceiving and fertility options that were open to us if we wanted to try them since its been a year with no luck. Well I guess it was still a but too early for at home tests since I had already tried 3 times with all negative results and only with extreme hope did i decide to try again... I'm so happy that I did!!!
I took the test about a half hour before my hubby got home, and broke out sobbing when I saw the 2 pink lines. I grabbed my hubby's camera and tried to get a pic of the test which just wasn't working since I was still crying lol. When He got home I had him close his eyes and hold out is hands, when he opened them and saw what I handed him I started sobbing again. We are both SOOO happy!!
Next week I will be taking another home test since I still have one at home, and the beginning of next month I have an appointment already scheduled for my yearly exam so I will have her do a blood test for me then to have an even firmer confirmation that I am pregnant.
We we decided to go off the bc we also decided that we weren't going to say anything to our families about if just in case nothing happened or if it took a lot longer then expected. We also didn't want to listen to EVERYONE constantly asking us about how things are going since my family has been nagging us for the last 5 years about having a kid... I have decided to wait until mothers day to tell my mom about it and then we are going to wait until at least the end of June before we decide to tell the rest of the family. We both want to be a bit more sure that this is going to stick before getting everyone all excited and then the possibility of something bad happening early on.
Even though we still didn't know for sure, I started buying some baby toys and a few outfits figuring that either way they will get used sooner or later. I've gotten really good deals on everything so far but we are running out of space to hide everything until the announcement, just in case we have unexpected visitors.
