My Story :)

Hi Ladies,

I am twenty one years old and been trying to conceive baby number one after coming off the pill in early may this year. Planning to get pregnant whilst on honeymoon. Regardless of that we still looked at ovulation and my body temperature.

I got my first period at the end of May and had my first proper cycle in June, starting my period on the twenty forth of June, which was perfect for conceiving on our honeymoon.

The twenty eighth of June was our wedding day and went on honeymoon straight from the wedding.

I never used any ovulation tests or anything for that matter accept from Pre-Seed & Folic Acid. I had taken Pregnacare Conception the month before, but stopped due to it causing late ovulation.

We never timed intercourse or did certain things, I literally just pushed it to the back of my mind and enjoyed the sunny three weeks in Florida.

You can only guess my shock when I get home and take a Clearblue Easy +/- test. A very faint blue line, but this was a few days before my period - surely it should be dark by now? Then I heard about the Blue evaps on these tests, my hopes where fading quickly.

Worried I waited to the next day to test with first morning urine, after 10 minutes nothing was coming up.

I waited another two days - the day of my expected period, still nothing. This time using First Response Early Result. You can imagine how I was feeling, heartbroken didn't cover it.

I had given up after three negatives after that clear positive, it was very upsetting.

Seven days later I am still awaiting Aunt Flo and her monthly gift, but nothing has come. Im feeling tired and hungry, but there are no symptoms, I know I am not pregnant. Three tests cannot be wrong.

My sister however convinces me to get myself a digital test, since she got her first positive on a digital. I got one, doubtful and feeling out of pocket.

I didnt even thinking about waiting till the morning, if I was taking it I was doing it now. Just seconds after peeing on the stick, the screen flashed up with the words.... "Pregnant"

I stared at it... surely that cannot be right? It is though... Im pregnant, Im going to be a mum!

Heart beating fast, palms sweating and shaking I took to the phone and called my husband, I cannot explain how happy and joyful he was - it brought tears to my eyes!

I am so happy for this little baby and cant wait to get started on this Journey. 5 weeks today and counting.

The best advice I can give would have to be ... "Dont Try" - I know it sounds stupid, but it honestly works! Stress and trying too hard is something that effects most woman I believe.

I once asked my doctor "why do drunk teenagers get pregnant after a one night stand, and some people try religiously to get pregnant" - his reply was:

"You have just said it all. They are calm and relaxed, they are not trying"

Good Luck ladies and Baby Dust to you all!
