Not As Expected,But who is complaining.....

Hi. I am 21 and married for almost 2 years and Ii was on pills till a month and a half ago. We were to go on our first holiday ever after marriage to Egypt and Ii was sooo very excited and it just turned out what I had expected it was beautiful.
Because I had just stopped taking pills that very month and waiting for my periods but strangely on the trip I had a spot on my panty but no periods. Cramps and period pain but no periods. It was very strange. I couldn't help thinking that I might be pregnant but then was it too early? Anyways, I couldn't wait to know if I was, so I got a pregnancy test from a pharmacy there and checked and waited. But when the result came negative, I don't know why but I was very upset, although I knew it might take me time to get pregnant. But still it was not what my heart was wanting.
Anyways, we came back from the trip and I felt extremely tired and sleepy and my body was giving me the signals which I get before getting periods but still no periods!!! Well I waited a few more days and when I was alone one day I did the test again and guess what? It was POSITIVE!!!
I was elated. When my hubby came from work I couldn't wait to tell him and we were both sooooooo excited!! But you know what the best part is? I don't have morning sickness at all!! I can eat anything and no nausea to worry about. It's just great!! I am having a great time. My appetite has increased and I am a bit moody and choosy about food. I don't feel like working or cooking but other than that it's absolutely wonderful!!!!!!
I hope you're having a nice time tooo. Just enjoy!!!

First timer

My husband and I have been married for about a year and a half. I'm an attorney and had just started a new job a year ago. We moved into our very own house a month ago. We figured we would stop actively trying to prevent pregnancy and see what would happen. So, I peeled off my patch for the last time. We weren't really trying, it was more like, well we'll see if anything sticks (so to speak).

I think there was a part of me that figured it was going to take a few months and that it certainly wasn't going to happen right away. I mean I had been on some form of birth control for the better part of the last 4 years. Surely, it takes a while to start ovulating again after you go off the pill. And everyone always says that there really are only 2 days out of the month that you can actually get pregnant anyway.

So, the day when I think I should get my period comes and goes. Then a week comes and goes. Then ten days come and go. Again, I figure, it's going to take a little while for everything to fall back into place without the help of chemical interference. Twelve days comes and goes and no sign of any period.

So, one Sunday afternoon, my husband is working on the house and I decided to trek to the drugstore where I stare down a shelf full of pregnancy tests. I select one and take it home. The little window read "pregnant" so fast I didn't have time to brace myself. I called my husband into the bathroom and we looked at each other and looked at the stick and then looked at each other some more.

Quite frankly, I'm conflicted about how I feel. I am excited about this and this is something that we have both wanted. I just thought I would have more time to enjoy married life and the freedom to do as we pleased. I am a little sad to say good-bye to the childless years but am embracing the fact that there will be someone new in our life.

I've never liked change. But, this is a big change. And I think this is a change that I am going to love very much.

I Just Found Out I'm Pregnant

Hello to all - I just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant. Doctor says I'm 4 weeks and 6 days. My husband and I are SO excited. We have been married for five months (12/10/05) so it was a total suprise!!!

I'm so happy but scared at the same time. I already love my baby so much that I just can not explain. Every time I feel a cramp, etc. I get really nervous. I am so bloated that I feel fat already. I"m glad to hear that this is normal.

Don't want to complain because it is definately worth it all. I'm so thankful that God has granted us to be able to get pregnant. I think it's a common fear for women to think that they'll never be able to get pregnant. I'm looking so forward to the days ahead.

Congrats to all of you and May God Bless

Any happy stories for spotting women?

Hi, I am pregnant for the second time - the first time I miscarried at 5 weeks, and I am now at 7 weeks on my 2nd pregnancy. I have had some light spotting for the last couple of days - mostly pink, though the other morning it was a little red - and not really enough to even use a panty liner. No cramping. I went to the midwife today and am going to get an ultrasound on Monday - but that is 4 days away. I know it is possible that a miscariage is in the works, but I also hear that half of women who have spotting don't miscarry. I guess I am just wanting to keep a positive outlook and hearing from anyone who has had spotting and a successful pregnancy would help.
Thanks!
