It’s weird how much one year can change so much.
This time last year, my husband and I had said that we would start TTC in 2016. My one goal for 2016 was to get pregnant. We thought it would happen quickly: We were both young, mostly healthy (I’m a little overweight, but other than that I’m fine), and my mother is the picture of fertility (four pregnancies, only two of which were planned, the last [unplanned] one when she was 35).
And then 2016 came, we found that I have PCOS, and then I miscarried, and then we found that my husband’s sperm have low motility. We scheduled an appointment with the infertility doctor, and I got on a plan to lose weight.
December was my last month to reach my “goal” of getting pregnant by the end of 2016, and honestly I gave up on that goal somewhere around my miscarriage in July. So on the 28th when I tested, I did not feel particularly optimistic (and because of several reasons including transatlantic travel, we did not chart this month). And yet… there it was, the faintest second line. But hey, that could be an evap line, or the pregnancy could not develop like last time.
I tested again today (the 30th), and the line is obviously darker. So I think, for now, it’s safe to say that I’m pregnant again. I got blood drawn this morning to get the actual number of beta-hCG levels, and then maybe some time next week I’ll do it again to make sure this pregnancy is developing properly.
Fingers crossed for a healthy, normal, uneventful, nine-month pregnancy!
