Ha, thanks! Well, it's still so early, I'm trying not to feel anything... But it's just like a bazillion of butterflies in my belly. We've seen a specialist awhile ago because we were actively trying, and I was told that with my pcos it would be unlikely for me to get pregnant. We didn't really take any major steps with help in that department, because I just felt overwhelmed and scared to try and try and not get anywhere. But I've had to take some meds for hormonal stuff and then my period didn't show... And here I am. I took another test this morning and the line is a lot more defined and darker than on the weekend.
If it would all work out, I think I'd get more excited than I think I could be. We've been married for almost 9 years... have this spare room in our house, my husband adores children, it would be good.

It's scary! I know when we were trying and I was so disappointed by the negatives each month when the positive finally showed up I was just sort of shell shocked (and terrified, very terrified). I'm sending all the good vibes I can muster that this works out for you guys.
Interestingly, there are a lot of PCOS women on my parenting forum that were told they couldn't/would have a hard time getting pregnant that just...got pregnant. It's weird that for how advanced medicine is they still get so much reproductive stuff wrong.

Congrats, Jules! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
It was so strange when I saw the two lines on my test. We had been NTNP since we got married, but we were actively trying for 4 months and I was so scared that I wasn't going to be able to get pregnant. Before getting married, I had always assumed that it would just take one time of unprotected sex to get pregnant, haha. It's amazing how sometimes it just has to be timed just right.

Congrats, Jules. first thing in the morning is the best time to take the test 
I'll join in with the quiet congratulations and lots of good vibes for a healthy pregnancy.
I know, Jessie, it's amazing how much effort is needed to go into this. "Honey, put a note in your calendar, sex at 5 pm tomorrow!"
I'm sure your little bean will stick! I worried about this SO much in the beginning... and I still worry about something happening now even at 32 weeks along. The miscarriage calculations are in your favor, even early on. Especially if your betas are doubling at the rate they're supposed to. Once you hear/see a heartbeat (I did via ultrasound at 8 weeks), the rates go WAY down.
How far along are you now? It's amazing how quickly time will fly- it's simultaneously been the slowest and quickest time period of my life! I still can't believe if I go into labor in TWO weeks that they won't stop it :yikes:

My second beta came back and my levels doubled (actually a bit more than doubled), so that's really good. My first ultrasound is scheduled for the 19th. Now I'm super worried that there won't be a heartbeat. I guess the worry never stops.
My periods are all over the place, so I am not sure... My best guess is about 3 weeks. So really early. I'm really tired and my boobs are sore and I am experiencing some twinges.
In 2 weeks already?! So, are you prepared?

The first ultrasound is very exciting. It was probably the most exciting moment of my entire pregnancy so far... just getting to see the tiny little baby blob on the screen!I'm prepared for the most part, although I'm hoping Nora will stay put until she's at least 37 weeks (4 weeks from now!). We have mostly everything we need, and we're going to have her nursery finished by the beginning of June. She's sleeping in our room for at least the first few months, though.
I didn't even really prepare for Blake because I found 99.9% of everything just a novelty with Briggs. Blake's pregnancy flew by. Actually the whole four years since having kids has.
And toddlers are weird little creatures. Blake went from being a pretty easy baby (just never wanted down) to being so demanding as a toddler. Total personality switch
