I’ve been wanting to get pregnant with our second child so I’ve been tracking my ovulation schedule and we obviously nailed it! Lol I planned on taking a test on Wednesday or Thursday, about two weeks from ovulation. However, I’m home from work today my dog won’t leave my side, being extra clingy, climbing in my lap, and sitting on me, so I tested and BINGO! I’m beyond excited and I’m going to tell my husband next week when I make the shirt for our current daughter!
Re: How did you know? Why did you decide to test?
I had been teasing him about the baby from day one, then I started having symptoms and I KNEW it was happening. Headaches, lightheadedness...then a couple days later some queasiness and not-quite-heartburn. I picked up early result tests so I'd know (that I wasn't crazy) as soon as possible. Since I've been irregular, I started testing 5 days before the earliest date that my period might show up. A couple days in, last week Monday, I thought it was negative again...but as I watched that second line started to fade in.
