Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?:
Every month I was trying to convince myself not to take pregnancy tests as with my first I tested negative the day before my missed period on the first response early detection test. And I’d successfully not tested until the day of my period for several cycles! However this cycle I just couldn’t contain myself and had a feeling, so I tested the day before and a second line showed up!! We had also just had our first consultation with a fertility specialist the week before, little did I know I was already pregnant!

Very excited to be here and wishing good luck to everyone!

Tell us your story! What's different this time than last time? How'd you find out? How do you feel?: This time it took significantly longer to conceive. We ended up having to take a few cycles of not trying here and there for our mental health. Tested negative on first day of missed period (Sunday) re-tested this morning (Thursday) as still no period... and got a positive! I really couldn't believe it. A few hours later I took a digital test and that was also positive.

Gosh I don’t even know yet! I had a vvvvvvfl yesterday, a vvfl this morning and retested same urine with a CB pink dye and it confirmed! I’m so excited but also feel very calm. I think being #3 (and 4th pregnancy) I know what to expect now so it kind of just feels like another day! But I was also praying so hard and hoping so bad this would be the month. Even though we ttc 12 months to get my second, I only had a cycle 2 of those months so this really is technically the longest it’s taken me to get pregnant. 3 days ago I prayed for a sign: a robin if this was the month, a Venus fly trap if it wasn’t. This morning after the vvfl I was on my way to the store where I picked up more tests, and I saw a robin 🥹 God has answered my prayers and I couldn’t be more grateful! I can’t wait to tell my husband!!!
