In June last year we discovered our baby boy had a heart defect at the 20 week scan, so had to make the hard decision to have him at 21 weeks :cry:
We have been trying for another one since. Our DD will be 7 in Sept and she's longing for a baby bro or sis. I have been seriously messed up about it, Im still waiting for counselling :growlmad::growlmad: But I knew getting PG again would help me hugely, I felt empty. :cry::cry::cry:

I was due AF on Sat 2/4/11, but decided to do a PG test on Wed as I had bought a load off Amazon a while ago.
My cycles have been very random, ranging from 21 CD to 31 CD! So never knew when I was OV'ing :wacko::wacko::dohh:

Anyway back to the topic. I woke up unusually early on Wed morn bursting for a wee which never happens. I came down stairs and POAS, left the test while I asked my DD what she wanted for breakfast. I looked at it a few mins later and there was a medium BFP!!
I didnt get too excited as I was feeling like it would never happen for us.
At lunch time I did a 1st response test and it came up straight away again :happydance::happydance::happydance::happydance:

Ive got an appointment with my midwife in 2 weeks time.
I wont be too excited until I have had a 16 week scan with a heart specialist to make sure the heart is OK.

Do you want to know my symptoms??
I didn't take a blind bit of notice this month!!! I didn't write down when we DTD or anything! I know the day AF came and when I was due AF and that was it! I was so focused on my horses as the sun was shining that I suppose you could say I just gave up!!! :shrug:
I know its so hard when people say it but its so damn true! DONT THINK ABOUT IT!!!! Throw away all the OV kits ect and let nature take its course. Also since I lost Ryan I have been un able to watch anything on TV to do with babies/pregnancy, but the night before I knew I was PG I actually sat down and watched a baby programme!
Since Thurs I have been extremely tired, moody and crying at silly things. Feel car sick.
All the symptoms I had with Ryan, so hopefully we might have another boy. I dont care as long as its healthy but I would love to have a boy as I dont have Ryan with me.

Thank you for reading. I have everything crossed that you all get your BFP's very soon,
Lots of love

Wow, so great to hear that you have your BFP and it happened for you when you weren't even really trying. I know it doesn't make the loss go away, but it will be good to move forward and plan for a sibling for DD. It feels good growing a family!
 
A wonderful outcome to a sad story, thank you for sharing, it's given me hope. Xx
 
congratulations, lovely news x
 
Congratulations!
I'm doing the same as you, and not using opk's so hopefully it'll work for us too x
 
Congratulations! Xx
 
How lovely for you, so happy to hear this, I pray your baby goes to term and is bouncing and healthy. I know exactly what you mean about feeling an emptiness that only a baby will fill; I m/c at 12 weeks last November and have been living in a bubble since then, desperate for a positive pregnancy test so that I can get back to the business of living my life. However, just this last couple of weeks I have started running again (I was pretty serious before this pregnancy) and it feels like I may be getting ready to come out of hibernation. Please God that will be the time it happens for me too.

I hope that you gradually relax and grow to enjoy the pregnancy, only those who have suffered loss know that fear is never far from your mind - how lucky are those 'blissfully ignorant' ladies who have never experienced it and simply assume all will be well. Baby steps, get though each milestone and before you know it you'll have your precious little one :)
