Amy's taken 6 home pregnancy tests! Yes SIX!
As you can imagine, after years of infertility and enduring 2 miscarriages, we are on pins and needles waiting for the "clear" that this pregnancy is going to be sustained. We are terrified of another miscarriage. Please pray in agreement w/us that this is NOT going to happen!
Whenever anything happens that makes Amy a bit anxious, she takes another pregnancy test. Ben worries about expensive they are! :) But it's the only concrete physical evidence at this point that can give us peace of mind that we are, indeed, still pregnant.
Amy's been experiencing some cramping, and while she had this w/Izzy, too, it was so long ago that she doesn't remember what's normal. However, all the websites and her friends have reassured her, that this is normal. In fact, one website even said that many women still don't know they're pregnant at this stage, because they swear they're going to still get their period, from the cramping they are experiencing.
So, last night, we took another test, after a day filled w/cramps. It immediately turned positive and now the line is just as dark as the "test" line. That's a good sign! :)
Today has brought very little, if any cramping. Yay! Just some tiredness (from being on her feet from 7-1 today) and some achiness.
All is well in the Brand world! :)
I agree that the cramping is normal :) FYI: dollar store pregnancy tests work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tara! I'll have to check our dollar store. ;)
ReplyDeleteI second the dollar store tests! I always have a few from the Dollar Tree on hand, just in case I get nervous... When I was trying to conceive I'd search online for reviews on which tests would give results the quickest and the dollar store tests were some of the fastest, believe it or not.
