A New Beginning (pg/loss mentioned)

I feel like I should start a separate journal from my other one because that was a different pregnancy. Hopefully, that isn't against protocol.

I have been TTC since January 2011. My loss was in December '10. I don't get pregnant very easily. It has always been this way, which on one hand it sucks but on the other hand, it means I didn't get pregnant at a time in my life when I wasn't ready for it. So, it evens itself out.

This was the first month I tried Clomid. I know I did something because the cramps during ovulation time were CRAZY. We also used pre-seed this month in case m mucus is as hostile as I am

.

On Monday, August 8th (8 dpo), I was feeling slightly weird. I had a wave of mild nausea, which I never get. I took a test at night, but it was negative. I was due to start my period by Thursday at the latest because I have a very short LP. When nothing had started Thursday morning, I took an FRER (my only one) and it came up positive.

I had tons of cramps and when I went to the bathroom at work, I had spotting. I figured it could be the end, but I wasn't going to ket fear follow me around for nine months or two days, so I said, "Screw it. I am going to tell everyone anyway." So, I told some friends and family, joined PAL and a DDC. I am today 3w 5d pregnant. On Thursday, my hcg was 35 and I go again on Monday morning for another test.

I will update this more later. I am about to go to a hot air balloon launch.
