I just completed my first semester of school and DH and I weren't planning on ttc until January - March of next year so EDD would be shortly after graduation.
My cycle days were starting to get shorter. My previous being 30 days opposed to my usual 33-34 days. I figured I'd start sooner than my app said since my app was going based on average and my average was off since my cycle was changing. But I also thought I wasn't supposed to start until today or tomorrow.
I checked my app yesterday and realized I was supposed to start yesterday, so I just figured maybe I was having a longer cycle. I've been checking cervical position daily for the last several months (I just like to know what's going on - gives me a better sense of what my body is doing). I've still not been able to completely pinpoint ovulation. I wasn't even 100% I was ovulating yet. The minipill stopped me from ovulating long after I stopped taking it last March.
Normally CP is low and open a few days before I start. When I checked last night, it was high(er) up and closed. I felt stupid for even thinking being pregnant was a possibility. I even felt more stupid testing this morning.
My jaw nearly hit the floor when the first test came back positive. I went out and got a FRER and that came back positive too.
I'm not quite sure how to tell DH though. I mean, I've just started school, supposed to graduate August 2016. We weren't even going to start ttc until this time next year. He's going to have a total meltdown when I tell him. I'm thinking of maybe telling my mom first so I can have a support system in place when he goes to pieces.
I'm probably going to have to drop out of my program at some point and won't be able to re-enroll until Fall 2016 (after I was supposed to graduate). It's all going to depend on if there's any complications, c-section or vbac, familial support (as LO wouldn't be able to go to daycare until at least 6 weeks old), and the school's support and willingness to accommodate which I really doubt that will be possible. I'm not saying that they wouldn't be willing, but because of the program, I don't know if I'd be able to fulfill all the requirements to pass.
Now I just have to figure out what the heck I'm going to say to DH and how. I need to find a way to mentally prepare myself for his reaction. I may wait until Friday when we can really sit down and talk. Tonight is my first night back for the second semester and I can't just dump that kind of information on him right now when we will barely see each other for the next few days and won't have a chance to sit and talk about it.
