Wow, I can't believe it... we're PREGNANT... again!!! For those of you who don't know, we did conceive in August and found out through a home pregnancy test on August 16... unfortunately, we miscarried around August 26 and was confirmed on August 30 that I was no longer pregnant.
We were sad, but not devastated... as everything happens for a reason, even if we don't know why. We chugged along and knew our time would come some day.
On September 24th as I was drinking my small glass of wine I started feeling extremely sick and nauseated. All day I'd felt really weird and the day prior I was so sleepy, I just thought maybe I was catching the Flu that was circulating Ryan's work...
Just to ease my mind, I took a pregnancy test at 6:00pm. Immediately a pink line appeared, meaning I was pregnant. We rushed off to Walmart and picked up First Response & Clearblue Easy Digital Tests... I immediately took the FRER/First Response and got a faint, but there pink line... no mistaking it, I had to be pregnant! All night I kept thinking this was a dream. Since the miscarriage I didn't even have a period, how could this be? I'd read stories of how % of conceiving after a miscarriage is very high, but wow... this fast?
The next morning, September 25 I took another two pregnancy tests... this time the FRER again and then the Clearblue Easy Digital test (which reads out "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant"). The FRER was first... the line showed up much quicker this time. Then I did the CBE Digital... the test says to wait 3 minutes for results... no more than 1 minute had passed when it read "PREGNANT". Wow, Wow... I was in shock! I had taken this test so many times before and gotten "Not Pregnant"...
Reflecting on how I was feeling all week started to make so much sense... the extreme gagging, nausea/dizziness, fatigue, starving at 10-11am, eating more, drinking more water, using the bathroom more... the lingering tension headache. Of course, pregnancy symptoms!!!
As of now I believe my due date is June 2, 2011. Of course this could change since I really don't know how far along I am.
My symptoms range through the day and it's awful. It's comforting because clearly I know I'm pregnant but just awful... fatigue within 2-3 hours after waking, gagging, pimples like I'm 13 years old, dry skin, HUNGRY... man what do I have in me, twins? Triplets? jeesh... I'm eating like a fat kid lately... healthy, but like a fat kid.
