How We Found Out (August 18th)

I was supposed to start my cycle yesterday or the day before (it varies) and it still hadn’t showed up this morning. I had no doubt in my mind that it was late due to the fact that I have been off my medication for two complete months now and I shouldn’t even be ovulating. I had a pretty expensive digital EPT home pregnancy test that I had been saving for a confirmation if I ever got a positive on a cheapie two line test. However, it was about to expire and I didn’t want to waste it, so I used it. To be honest, I really didn’t think about it while I was going on with my morning routine. While I was brushing my teeth, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed it had the results up. It said “PREGNANT” clear as day. I thought, “Oh my God, I am pregnant!”

I just have to say that I always had all these cute ideas for how I was going to tell Tony when I found out I was pregnant. I wasn’t going to tell him right away and instead do a surprise for him to find out. Well…that went out the window!

After I stared at the positive result, I started squealing and jumping up and down. Tony came into the hallway thinking there was a bug in the bathroom or something. I was waving the stick around and he still couldn’t tell what I was all excited about (I didn’t even tell him I was going to take the test). When he finally saw it, he got this huge smile, nodded his head, and gave me a big bear hug.

He told me that there was a pregnancy test left in his bathroom (I didn’t know it was there). It was a cheapie dollar store test, but it came out positive too. I was amazed, “so this is what positive pregnancy tests looks like?!”

By the time I came out of the bathroom from taking the second test, Tony had already called in a half day to work (this is when I realized just how excited he was). I laughed and told him I didn’t even know if I could get into the doctor yet!

I definitely want to get into the doctor today because I am afraid I might have low Progesterone (hormone needed to sustain pregnancy) due to the fact that it had been low in the past and I wasn’t taking my medicine anymore.
