Ok so Im the one posted about the "someone wake me up from this nightmare".. it was last week. anywho.. i was pretty bummed. like to the point where I wanted to cry my eyes out and had no idea what to do next.
So that Wed last week.. i had gotten a visit from AF.
Thursday ... nothing. :shock: not one drop of sign but my tampon was literally bare. (TMI sorry) I still had major cramps though so I thought... "ok AF is taking a break."
It's still Thursday and Im driving home from work and i think to myself.. "just test... i mean you never really took a test before. you just got AF and bammmm.. it was over!"
So i went to buy a pack of 3 tests.. and i went home. Made dinner, watched tv.. then i peed.
<long pause>
looked at the test...
2.........
LINEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
showed the hubby.. cried..hugged.... waited a couple hrs to pee again... YUP.. 2 LINES AGAIN!!!
ahhhhhhhh... so the next day Friday, i called my nurse and told her and she had me come in right away for bloodwork. and yup.. hrs later she calls me to tell me i am indeed pregnant and by calculations and going with the date of my last period, i am 4 weeks.
whaaaaaaaaaaat?!?! ok someone PINCH ME CUZ I KNOW IM DREAMING FOR SURE! I have my first US scheduled for the 21st and I can't wait. I have sat on that chiar many times and stared at an emtpy uterus. So the min i see something, i know im going to lose it.
saturday... MY 30TH BDAY.
BEST BDAY PRESENT EVER!
3 years of TTC, 3 iui's later.. we did it. I am so blessed and nervous and scared! I hope Im not a worry wart and just "think" bad things or "what if's".... right now i am taking a breath and just thanking God for this. So many of you have been amazing support and have told me to never give up. and i didn't. i won't. thank you for your words of encouragment. All this is so surreal to me and I just pray now that the next 9 months are healthy ones.
I will keep yall posted throughout. I have to go give another blood test today so I hope the hormone level has increased and everything is looking good.
IS... THIS... REALLY.. HAPPENING?!?!?!

I'm so happy for you, congratulations! What an amazing story, and just goes to show, you never know!
Can't wait to hear about your u/s, hope all goes well, and you keep feeling amazing! Going to wait to tell folks in the "real world"? I understand the worry wart phenomenon, I'm a big participant!
CONGRATS!

OK so disregard my post in the other section. Obviously, I did not read far enough ahead. I am glad that I was sitting down. That is GREAT news!!!!
Thanks for all the info!!! It truly helps those of us that are trying. See what can happen when you stay positive! Even though you were doubting yourself a little spot of silver lining crept in and got you to think about testing.
So do you think it was just a little spotting or do you think it was some implantation bleeding? Hope I'm not asking too much just really want to know what to look out for. It sounds like some major cramping is a good sign. I know I have read from a few posts that happened to them.
Here's too a happy and healthy pregnancy! Try not to stress too much keep those positive thoughts coming!!

Best present ever, now leave ALL the scary thoughts behind...and as I did...take one day at the time as a miracle day and thank God for the best gift ever in your life.
Scary moments will always be there...from now on and every day even when the baby will be born, but it is up to you to leave them behind and believe every day that all will go well.
I am in Italy right now with my family, and this precious gift I have is making so many people happy!!! First visit of my baby girl to my parent's house as a fetus
All is great here, I will be 1 week on the beach and I am resting and eating very well to nurture her the best I can!
I think I am going to name her Kristina Danielle
Lots of Love and keep us posted,
Roberta
@Robin- I'm not sure if it was implanatation bleeding or just spotting. I haven't gone to my Dr yet until next Tuesday. I've just been going for blood work this week. But I will ask him and see what he thinks.
my beta: 16dpiui: 433
19dpiui:1860
so that's pretty good right? I have my last beta this Friday so I'm hoping they're good numbers also..
@Roby- thank you for telling me before to never give up.
