We have been working on having our "one more" child. I have always wanted just one more, as a companion to my lovely boy.
I was feeling pretty discouraged after 8 failed pee sticks. In fact in May, I was quite sure I had a miscarriage. I know my body very well, and it functions like clockwork. 9 days late was not delayed period. In fact miscarriage occurs so often that many of us never realised. I suspect most people who never probed deeper were just so glad that their period was merely "late."
It is very different when you are trying. Every day I was late, I was so tempted to pee on the stick. This time around I did not want to jinx it. The last time I was 9 days late, the 9th day that I peed on the stick, my period came on the same day. Co-donor was not too optimistic either. I suspect he did not want to feel disappointed.
So this time round I waited until I was 10 days late, and I rushed to the pharmacy and bought the cheapest pee stick. Woo hoo!!! I was pregnant. I made an appointment to see any nearest gy-ob who could see me on the same day. I found one, called co-donor and told him where I was going. He was flabbergasted when I told him the results of the pee stick!
Saw ob-gy who confirmed that I was about 5 weeks. Appointment was made for 2 weeks later to check for the heartbeat.
