I am reeling.
I thought I was due January 26. Turns out I might even deliver before New Years!
How is this possible? My husband and I have been trying for a few months. I got a negative pregnancy test April 21 (Cycle day 25, usually when I start my period) and then my period came April 22 (or so I thought?!?!) I bled for 4 days! Maybe a little lighter than usual, but still seemed within normal range, I still needed to use tampons and everything! (The doctor suggested it might have been bleeding related to implantation)

We treated it like a normal cycle, worked on conceiving during the second week, I took a pregnancy test May 17 (which we thought was cycle day 24… but I guess was actually CD 51?!? Omg)
I came in expecting to make sure the pregnancy was just one baby, in the right place, turns out instead of 7-8weeks I’m 11weeks1day. Since I’m over 35 they went ahead and took blood for the NIPT so I might even know the gender this week. It’s bananas. I’m excited, but also just baffled that I was so off about my body.
I guess I’m going to stick around with this group because I could give birth early January, the doctor said they can aim for Dec 27 - Jan 3 depending on what makes sense for our insurance.

Sorry for the wall of text, as y’all can see I’m still processing. We haven’t told anyone about the pregnancy yet and now it looks like we’ll be announcing a lot sooner than we thought…
edit: don’t worry, I’ve already introduced myself when I first joined, been lurking and posting here sparingly for a couple weeks, I was just clarifying I wasn’t leaving. Sorry if this breaks the rules, it just didn’t seem to fit in with the other topics.
