Tell us the story of how you found out you were pregnant with your child/children!

That's a great story(a long story)! I hadn't had AF for 6 months so the doctor gave me an RX for provera. I took it home and for some reason didn't feel right about it so 2 weeks later I still didn't have AF (at this point we were ntnp it had been 2 and a half years of ntnp so we just gave up, we weren't ready to seek ma yet. We only got engaged 5 months before and were focusing on that) anyway She had told me when she gave me the rx it wasn't healthy to go longer than 6 months so I researched provera and it said it was extremely dangerous if you were pregnant and I thought wow it would be terrible if we finally got pregnant and something terrible happened so I called the Dr and asked her to order a test. It was Friday May 17, 2006 I went to the lab to drop off my sample and it was where I used to work so I knew the girl there. I called the lab that night and my friend looked up my results she said neg and I wasn't even shocked anymore just sad then she said "wait, you better sit down, they just changed it to positive." She put me on hold and called the main lab they said it was a weak positive and ran it again it was still positive. I couldn't believe it...to be honest I didn't believe it until I felt her move inside of me. I was so excited I had to see it for myself so I ran to walgreens and as I was walking in my sister and niece were walking out (so strange) I just blurted it out and started crying happy crying shocked crying they were hugging me and jumping up and down so excited. I went home and took 1 of the tests (which I still have...DH thinks that's weird I just can't part with it) It was a weak positive but definitely there. I took one the next day too!!!!

We TTC#1 for 18 months, went on Clomid and got pg that first cycle, only to have a heart-breaking m/c at 12 weeks. Two clomid cycles later I got pg with DS!! I found out when we were away at a ski resort where DH was taking a course. Two days earlier on CD 26 I had gotten a progesterone level and hcg drawn (just on a whim), I called the dr's office from the resort to see if I o'd. The nurse said "oh, your prog is 61, and your hcg is 126". I was not expecting that! I was still so depressed about the m/c, I think we bd'd twice that month, and I had no symptoms at all! I hung up the phone, called my best friends at work, then took a hpt (I had brought some just in case I wanted to drink). When the 2nd line came up, I fell on my knees in the bathroom in cabin #402 at the lodge, and started to cry and prayed that I would get to hold a baby this time. Then I went to find DH in his course and tell him. He was very reluctant and cautious, he knew how much I hurt from that first m/c----that night we went out to a Greek restaurant to cautiously "celebrate" our new pg---I'm teary even thinking about it now 36 weeks later I had my baby boy in my arms!

I am so sorry about your m/c that is really heartbreaking. The rest of the story is so cute...what a memorable way to find out about your son!
