The work I’ve been doing on acceptance seems to be paying off. Yesterday morning I got a positive pregnancy test for the first time in my life.

I’m so thrilled that I hardly know what to say!

It’s early days yet. I tested about five days before you are supposed to test so the result is very faint. The body hasn’t had much time to produce pregnancy hormones measured by the tests.

The fact that I got a positive result at all this early (9 days past ovulation) could mean that the baby is very strong. I like that interpretation!

This is also the period of the most risk for miscarriage. Many people miscarry before they even find out they are pregnant. When they bleed they think it is a period. Finding out this early means that if I miscarry I, unlike so many other people at this stage, will know about it!

However, even if that does happen, I am still thrilled to get to this point. We now know that it is possible for us to get pregnant and after over two years of trying that is an enormous step!

It’s more important than ever for me to take care with my diet.

So there’s much left to be seen, but things right now are good!
