YAY!

Last night before I went to bed, I promised myself that if my temp went to 98.3, I could test. So when I woke up this morning, it was 98.3! I literally jumped out of bed...

Tested and it came up with a line right away -- I mean like less than a minute. I ran back to the bedroom (it was 8 a.m.) and poked Josh and looked at him with a huge smile. He opens one eye and says "What?" and I look at him and don't say anything except the huge smile. And he says "What - oh my god are you pregnant?" And I said "YES!" and I was shaking and he kissed me and he was really excited and I was really excited and then we stayed in bed talking about it for like 45 minutes.

I have long cycles (ovulated on Cycle Day 35 this month, Day 42 last month). My doc had actually told me she was going to start Clomid next cycle to make me ovulate sooner. Glad we didn't have to go that route

My symptoms:

2 DPO: sore chest (sorry, TMI I know)
3 DPO: sore chest
4 DPO: nothing, got bloodwork results from previous week though and they were normal and my TSH was 2.18
5 DPO: Nothing, random weird cramping, like pulling, not painful
6 DPO: Nothing, random weird cramping, like pulling, not painful
7 DPO: Slight temp drop, metallic taste in mouth around 1 p.m. asked Josh four times if he had it too
8 DPO: Nothing, random weird cramping, like pulling, not painful
9 DPO: Nothing, random weird cramping, like pulling, not painful
10 DPO: Temp drop, Had some odd, short cramping midway down from bellybutton on the right side around noon. Took a test in the morning, negative, as I expected.
12 DPO: My temp rose, took test -- BFP right away

I had that random cramping, but really it was nothing major at all. Just a here and there "oh that's weird" kind of thing.

We're not going to tell anyone for a while. We're going to tell our parents and the two siblings in a few weeks, but we're not telling extended family or friends until after the three-month mark.

That means it's going to be a loooooong summer. No drinking, lots of lying about why I am not drinking, lots of pretending I am drinking. Maybe I can cover it by eating sushi and soft cheese. Every day. And smoking. I am sure that's fine right? It'll throw people off the scent for sure!

What an exciting day.

What a scary day.

Holy shit -- we're having a BABY!
