Pregnancy Test- Trial #2

During the final week leading up to my period I was sad, I could feel cramps coming on about day 28. The month prior my period came on day 32 so I knew my period was coming just was a matter of when not if.

I cried, I was so sad once again it wasn't going to be good news. Commercials made me tear if they had any mother and babies, if they were pregnancy tests, if they involved puppies that needed a home.

My partner kept saying relax have faith, but I was certain my period was on its way. During the insemination week my poor partner had come down with some bug that kept taking us back into the emergency room, my client went into pre-mature labour and my stress levels were elevated.

As days 28, 29 and 30 came and went I began to get agitated. I was so pissed why was my period delayed once again. Was it all that positive thinking I had done prior, the thinking I was pregnant so I would be pregnant kinda thing..... I wanted it to come and get over with it. My cramps remained consistent each day I was bombarded with the reminder that my period was coming. Day 31 came and I was certain the only way to bring on my delayed period would be to go take a pregnancy test.
I had been checking my cervix this whole time. It was hard, or was it soft. It was low, or was it medium I just never could tell.
So we went in on Monday July 25th and I urinated into a cup. It was around 4pm when I took it. The test line came up and showed that the test was working. The nurse that took the test took my test under the light. I had already declared a negative test as no line was seen.....

"you know" she said to me " I think there is a line."
What.... a line.... I was expecting her to say nope sorry not this time, maybe next time go home.
"I can't say for certain." she said " but I think you might just be pregnant take this test and do another one at home tomorrow morning when the HcG hormone is high.

That is what I did.... I took the new test home and re-did it in the AM.... and it was positive... I was pregnant! I was shocked after all the stress of the month my partner being sick, my client going into pre-mature labour, my big ol' polyps that were going to possibly impede on implantation. ..etc. etc. I still managed to do it.... I AM PREGNANT!!!!
