4 Weeks – EDC 28/05/13

Tuesday, 18 September 2012

I had a temperature drop today, which really got me down. I didn’t realise how much I wanted to be pregnant right now until I saw that lower temperature. However, I have reassured myself that it is temperature trends that count, and unless I get my period today or tomorrow, or have another drop tomorrow, then I’m still probably pregnant. I haven’t had any nausea today, but I’ve still managed to mostly keep away from the lemon cream cheese slice that I made. I’m not convinced that I taste things as they are though. Yesterday, I would have sworn that the milk was off, and today I would have sworn that the orange I snacked on was going off.

Wednesday, 19 September 2012 (1 day)

So, I had a nice surprise this morning. My temperature rose to new heights, and I became convinced once and for all that I was pregnant. Pregnancy has messed with my body clock, and I am now rising easily at 6:00 am! This means that breakfast has to happen earlier too, as I found out two days ago. Unfortunately, I also discovered that there was no milk, which meant a dash to the supermarket.

While I was there, I thought that I might as well pick up a HPT. A simple thing to do, after all, I’ve done it many times now, but I’ve always bought packs of three. However, this time was different. You see, I had a miscarriage in July, and ever since then I’ve been convinced that I would get pregnant again and on my next cycle. I haven’t always thought it was the best idea, but I know God’s plan is best. There have only been two or three days this whole cycle that I’ve thought any different, Yes, the cycle really has been 61 days long, but that is nothing compared to the twelve months I had to wait for my cycle to resume after going off the pill. So, the big question was, do I buy one test or three? Going with my solid faith in the matter that I would be pregnant, I decided to just buy the one, because that was all I would need, and guess what! I was right!!!! Three minutes, a prayer that I would accept whichever result I got, and two lines later, my pregnancy was confirmed.

I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, but I restricted myself to sending my husband a nice cryptic message and joining an online forum for babies that are due in May. I need to get it confirmed, but the Fertility Friend app that I’ve been using says that the due date is 28 May 2013. Now I have to figure out how I’m going to choose to tell my parents.

I took a baseline belly shot…

 

 

Monday, 24 September 2012 (Day 6)

I had my first doctor’s appointment today. Due to a little disagreement over my due date because I had a 60 day cycle, I have a dating scan in two days. My doctor says that my symptoms are those of someone over six weeks, so he believes that I am 8 or even 12 weeks.  So, I’ll find out on Wednesday which one of us is right. I have a feeling it’s going to be me.

Monday must be my day for morning sickness. It also acts as a good reminder that “Call the Midwife” is now available on iView. Also, I’ve had cramping (particularly in my hips) over the last week, which seems to be subsiding now.
