I OVULATED!!
WHAT?!
First of all, this is a HUGE deal because my body has never done this before! Like I mentioned in my last post I had another ultrasound scheduled for Thursday. So on Thursday Kenny came with me to the doctor and my follicle had only grown 2MM. I was so sad that it was only at a 14! Kenny quickly reminded me that we have never had a follicle grow this big, EVER. The doctor told me that it should keep growing and to take ovulation tests on Saturday and Sunday morning, JUST IN CASE my body ovulates on it's own without the HCG shot. And if I got a positive to call them right away.
So I had been cramping all week, it wasn't super painful but more than my usual period cramps. So I told Kenny that we should test on Thursday and Friday just incase. So I tested..
Thursday;NEGATIVE
Friday;NEGATIVE
Those are the top 2 tests on the top of the picture. But I kept cramping!! Kenny and I went to a movie and dessert with some friends on Friday night and my cramping was pretty bad! So on Saturday morning I peed on the stick and the test was a DUD! It didn't even work. But I couldn't pee on another one because I didn't have to pee anymore... Kenny had a intramural football game that morning so we went to that and I just kept drinking water so that I could be ready when we get home. I still didn't have to pee and hour later so we went and watched my BIL's basketball game. I finally had to pee so we rushed home and this time I peed in a cup JUST IN CASE this test was a dud as well. It wasn't..
IT WAS POSITIVE!!
We couldn't believe our eyes! So I quickly took another test to make sure. Positive AGAIN! Those are the 2 bottom tests in the picture. We hugged each other tight because this has never happened before. So I called the doctor and she gave us further instructions. She said she would call me on Monday with further instructions but I could come in for my appointment to make sure I did actually ovulate(I needed proof).
Monday morning I went in and I thought I was just going to get a blood test but I got an ultrasound. I didn't mind at all because that was we could see if the follicle was still there or not.
IT WAS GONE!!
I went to the appointment on my own because Kenny started his new position at work that morning. I was ecstatic! My body actually ovulated on it's own. What a miracle!
So I told Kenny and our family the good news! Everyone was beyond excited for us. Now we have to wait to go back in to take a blood pregnancy test on the 14th. In the meantime we are trying to stay positive because the chance of pregnancy every month is only 20%.
Kenny and I leave for our anniversary cruise on the 15th. We will know whether or not we have a little baby on the way or not on the car ride home to California. We pray every night for our little blessing so hopefully we will be celebrating on the cruise. If we are not pregnant Kenny and I have a agreed that we will have a carefree vacation!
XOXO
