The story so far...

Hey! This is the first post in my pregnancy blog. It's my first pregnancy so I want to be able to keep tabs on what's happening when, my memory being crap. Here's the story so far...

We have been trying to have a baby (or rather, not trying not to have one) for a couple of months. My last full period started on Weds 10 May - I'd been having 25-day cycles for a couple of months. We went to the Lake District for a week after, got back on Saturday 20 and had quite a lot of 'action' for the next few days; we reckon Sun 21 May is the most likely conception date as there was quite a bit, er, saved up.

I didn't have any symptoms so was convinced I wasn't pregnant (and carried on boozing as normal), expecting my next period to start on Saturday 3 June. I did get some spotting which continued for 6 days but never turned into a full bleed. Around this time I noticed my boobs were a bit sore but thought that could have been period-related. By this time I had taken a couple of HPTs but they were negative.

On the night of Friday 9 we made love - still no blood. On Saturday morning I did a Clearblue test and got a faint positive. I did two more tests on the next two days and they were both positive. w00t!

Had doctor's appointment on Tues 13 - hoped he would do a test to confirm my pregnancy but he just said "As you've had a positive test result, I'll assume you're pregnant." Signed me up for antenatal care - the next thing is the 12-week scan. Still a long way off...
