Cycle 4, 14 dpIUI
I guess I am now unofficially pregnant. It must have been in the middle of the night last night when I thought maybe I would go ahead and POAS. Sure, I knew there was still a tiny minor chance of a false positive and yeah the pregnancy test I was going to use expired more than 3 years ago... but what was the point of having that thing just laying around if I wasn't going to pee on it?
"They" say you are supposed to take them first thing in the morning when your pee is most concentrated. That was another issue. I have been peeing pretty much every 2 hours during the night. I woke up at 2:30 and figured if I could make it until 6:30 when I was going to get up, then it might be worth it to give it a try. I woke up a little before 6:30 and had to pee soooo bad. DH was in the bathroom getting ready for work. Any other day I would have just found my way to the other bathroom but my pregnancy test was in the bathroom he was in. I rolled around in pain for a bit and finally he came out and I went in. I peed. I watched the little line of pee moving up the pee stick. I was pretty sure it was negative. Then I actually waited a minute and sure enough, obvious BFP. It was amazingly anti-climatic.
Yesterday at some random point I told DH, "I guess you should know that I am pretty sure I am pregnant." He said something like, "Okay." Then we went back to what we were doing. This morning I told him I took the super expired test and it was positive so I guess I am pregnant, maybe. He said, "Yay. Maybe." Then he gave me a kiss and left for work. We are such exciting people. Or more like we know that until a healthy baby pops out of my body and into this world, we should probably not get too excited.
I felt the worst I have felt last night and most of today. I was trying to get to sleep last night and my uterus was burning. The fetal position was pretty much the only one I could handle. Today everything from the bottom of my ribcage to the top of my thighs was crampy and achy and horribly uncomfortable. While out running errands this afternoon with the kids it would not have surprised me if I would have just collapsed. Is it possible to overdo it this early? While my kids nap in the afternoon, I typically get caught up on some things around the house. Today I laid on the couch covered up in a blanket, eating Jolly Ranchers (which I hear is supposed to help the uneasy stomach thing), and stared at my laptop. I have felt pretty great since then. My uterus area is still a bit sore if one of the kids push on it or I bend over, but I think I might venture out to walk the dog here shortly.
Oh, and I called and made an appointment to have my blood pregnancy test done tomorrow. The kids and I will be up and out of here by 6 am to find out if I am officially pregnant.
Just as a disclaimer, I am happy I am pregnant. Shocked too since I really thought that those follicles wouldn't grow big enough. (Still there is a chance that I am not pregnant in my uterus, or that the follicles from the wrong side were able to freakishly make their way to the right side.) Even though I would much rather be pregnant than not be, I still keep thinking of all these upcoming things I am going to miss out on. There are two outdoor concerts I'm going to in July where there will be not a sip of beer taken. Not that I like to get smashed or anything, but tailgating and laughing at stupid people followed by listening to great music under the stars just won't be the same. I figured we would take the kids to two amusement parks this summer. Not sure if there is much point to that since DH doesn't really ride much and I won't be able to ride with the kids much. Vacation is just 3 weeks away, which will be an entire week spent with my parents. I have a feeling that the beans will be spilled by then but if not, my mom will definitely realize something is up when I am sick, dead tired, and not drinking at all. Then there is the drive to and from vacation that I usually do while DH entertains the kids/sleeps. Probably not going to happen since I will be so exhausted, yet who in the world can sleep with two loud kids in the back of the car? No more running. No more looking forward the 5k I was hoping to do with my friends in September. Girls' weekend next spring will be out since I'll have a baby stuck to my boob. I am sure I could keep going. I suppose it is good that I am thinking this far in advance because it must mean that I am optimistic that I will make it that far.
And yet, I am not really supposed to complain! I am supposed to be so joyous that I am unofficially pregnant! Yippie! Go half uterus!
I had a dream last night that I told someone I was pregnant and then 2 seconds later I was holding a newborn baby girl that looked exactly like I did when I was a newborn.
While out doing errands I noticed at the counter of the one store was a collection jar to donate to March of Dimes. Hell yea I am putting money in there! I practically cleaned out my purse to stuff that thing full of karma!
