CD 27 (10-11dpo): Sore boobs STILL! Cramps are feeling very similar to what I had with DD but I still feel out with a slight glimmer of hope. Nauseous all day after getting a waft of next door's dinner the night before and vomiting all over my shower floor. I test. BFN. I struggle to get to sleep, and when I finally do, I dream that I get a BFP.
CD28 (11-12dpo): I'm woken by my bloke and my daughter, but my dream is still forefront in my mind. I run to the toilet to POAS. I feel completely stupid as I'm doing it. I did after all promise myself somewhat that I'd wait until AF was most likely late...hard to do when you have such irregular cycles. I put the test to the side and finish up, chastising myself the whole time. I go to throw the test in the bin and start to shake when I see a very faint, but very pink second line. I run to DH who says he MIGHT see something but he's late for work, and he leaves. I second guess the test for a few hours, I think maybe it's an evap? But it gets more and more pink. I book into the dr then do another test...I can't help it. It's darker! It's definitely there! I must be acting weird because my 3yo asks me what's wrong. I tell her we're having a baby. She squeals and pats my belly.
"What's it's name?" she asks.
"I don't know, what should we call it?" I ask her.
"Baby sister!" she confirms! LOL
I go to doctor to get a beta test and wait a couple of hours for them to call with the results. I can't help it. I'm anxious and I just need to double, no I need to triple check! I POAS again. It's so dark I may do a little dance. I'm gobsmacked at the progression from 6am to 4pm, but my good mood takes a bit of a hit when the doctor calls back. My level is at 19. I'm at the 'probable' level. Huh? It is suggested I go back in two days for another hCG.
Two days later it's 72! The doctor still wants to make sure. 2 days later again it's 288. She wants it in the 1000's now! She thinks I'm really early or my levels are strangely low. (DD did come up negative at 5 weeks, so I believe it's the latter, but I did also find out before AF was even due this time so I tell her I know I'm early).
On CD40 (today) I get the news that the test on CD37 was 1614. Great numbers for 5 weeks pregnant :) We have our first scan on Tuesday 5th of June. They asked if I wanted to get it at the 8week mark (when baby looks more like a baby) and I kind of do, but I'm far too impatient, so we'll be approx 6 weeks and 4 days when we go in for the scan. All I need to see is that little heart and I'll be happy until the next scan.
Current symptoms are bouts of nausea, excruciatingly sore boobs and lots of pulling and stretching cramps. I'm feeling VERY pregnant indeed!
It's quite entertaining watching my daughter and husband arguing over whether there will be a 'baby sister' or 'baby brother.' The bloke keeps threatening to put it back if it's another girl. Too much estrogen already he says. Well, we'll see. I have absolutely no idea what we're having. I thought I'd at least have an inkling, but I'm looking forward to finding out!
We've started clearing out the spare room to make way for nursery furniture, but the fatigue has made that a very slow going project. Lucky I have 8 months to get it finished :)
We'll be telling friends and family we haven't told already once we get the first ultrasound pictures. I can't wait. In the meantime I'm hoping all the complications that I had with DD don't return a second time and I get to somewhat enjoy my second and last pregnancy.
