The Journey to Baby Apple #2


DH and I had been trying to conceive baby #2 since November.  After three months of just "seeing what happens" I was greatly discouraged.
After three BFN's I thought I should probably start upping this TTC to the next level.  I signed up with Fertility Friend and picked up a BBT Thermometer. The first month was tough.  I barely knew what I was doing, wondering if I was taking my temps right.  My cycles ranged from 28 days to 33 days....or so I thought.  My fourth cycle was nuts.  I tested on day 30.  BFN.  Day 31. BFN. Day 33. BFN.  Day 39. Took a blood test at OB office. BFN. Day 40. AF showed up.  I suspect that I had a cyst which burst after AF showed.  I was in terrible pain and had that same pulling sensation I had months ago when my OB found a cyst.  Not sure if that had anything to do with my super long cycle or if it was just stress.
Round #5, I grabbed some Clear Blue Easy OPK's and got a + on both CD 21 and CD 22.  I was thrilled!  I thought for a few minutes that maybe this was our month.  We timed it all right.
On April 27th CD 33-11 DPO (The day I was expected to get AF)  I decided to take a Pregnancy Test.  I only had digital tests left and was a little nervous because I read that digitals were less sensitive than line tests.  I did my thing and left the bathroom.  I couldn't get my heart to stop trying to pound out of my chest.  I came back two minutes later expecting to see "Not Pregnant".  Boy was I surprised to see "Pregnant". I ran into the bedroom and jumped on the bed and whispered into DH's ear "I'm pregnant!" He was so excited.  We laid in bed for a minute or two hugging and crying.  This was it!!
Here is my chart Positive Pregnancy Chart.

We plan on telling our families this Mother's day. I will be 5 weeks when we tell.  Our plan is to have Emily run in wearing this shirt.
