Over the next two weeks I continued to take my temperature and keep track of how I was feeling. I definitely noticed some minor cramping about a week after fertilization, and now I know that was you getting nice and comfy in my uterus. After this point I began to notice that I was feeling quite tired, and sometimes took a nap even before I started work for the day. It was at this point that I began to wonder if there might be a little human developing in there. I waited until 14 days past my ovulation to take a pregnancy test. Even though I wasn't sure if my period was late, I figured that if I was pregnant, a good test would be able to tell me by then. I had one cheap test in my bathroom so I used it the morning of October 6th, 2010. A faint line came up beside the control line, and a huge smile erupted on my face!
The next thing I did was drive to the drugstore to buy a more sensitive test that I could take a little later in the day, so that I could have something to show Daddy. I went to the doctor right away to request a blood test to confirm that you were in there. I got the results back later that night, and sure enough, you were!
I called Daddy and offered him a ride home from work that day. Before leaving, I took the second pregnancy test, and the positive symbol came up immediately (even before the control line)! When Daddy got in the car I told him I had a surprise for him, and to close his eyes and hold out his hands. I then put the test in his hands and told him he could open his eyes. He also got a big smile and said "No way, that's awesome!" He gave me a kiss and I told him about everything I'd already gotten accomplished that day!
The cool thing about Fertility Friend is that after ovulation is confirmed, it tells the user when their due date would be if conception occured that month. In my case, the date given was June 15th, which of course is Daddy's birthday. I reminded him that day that maybe he'd be getting an extra special birthday gift, and he thought that was pretty cool.
