Our little peanut, after 10 months of trying

I started writing my first lemon8 post after I felt some new found motivation to stay optimistic after 9 months of trying and getting single lines.

Mb lemon8 was my lucky star, the next day after I published my first post, I felt nauseous while eating a shashuka I made for lunch - which I thought mb I was getting stomach flu or something, but I decided to still test although it was still 5 days till my period was due ( yes I’m usually a hopelessly hopeful person). I dipped my urine, 80% feeling like it would be another single line and already consoling myself internally, left it on the sink counter top and went to wash my hands. Peeped back at it and TWO LINES were staring at me. It was clearly two lines not the iffy one, really really two lines 🥹 Started to tear a little and then decided I wanted to use my clear blue pregnancy kit, kind of like a revenge for all the single lines it has been giving me but also to double confirm it, and it was a double line too.

I was so happy, started jumping up and down out of the toilet, and I wanted to tell my hubby asap but he was at work, so I texted him - ‘ call me when you’re free, need to discuss something’ HAHA kept it formal sounding on purpose and my hubby told me he thought he was in trouble. He was busy and didn’t blue tick my message, although i really wanted to call my mum too I decided he needed to know first so I forced myself to take a nap. Woke up to my phone vibrating and I broke the news to him via videocall! He was so happy haha, but had to contain his joy as he was at work. Called my mum next over the phone, she was so happy she cried too 🥹

Fast foward 2 weeks later and we just had our first book in and scan - look at that little peanut just measuring over 1cm 💚 I am so thankful and grateful for having this chance to grow this little one inside me and I wish and pray for peanut to grow happily and healthily.

Side note got even more motivated to write about inito because I really think it did help me get pregnant (especially difficult because of my irregular periods with possible PCOS D) because the peak fertility was v accurate and we tried on all the days of peak fertility with success! So please have a read of my post on it, let me know if you have any questions and I hope it brings you success too!!
