Taken from last Monday July 18th.  I did this as a private post for myself but can’t figure out how to make it look pretty in public so just copying what I typed.

~~~
Ok at lunch i’m off to get pregnancy tests, something I said I wouldn’t let in my house again until I thought there was a good chance or if I was late late. Well~ I know I mentioned how I went away for 4th of July, stopped temping, and just had lots of um sex and fun over our trip to Oregon. We found the house that weekend and just really had a good time.  The day we came back I had cramps and thought god…it’s too early to ovulate.  I tested anyhow and got a near positive, then a positive the next day.  decided ok, fine i’ll temp to make sure I did ovulate.  (my temp. should go up 3 days consistently to show ovulation typically). Well It did and i’ve been watching it rise each day.

Now that brings me to today:
I checked my temp. this morning and the little fertility friend computer analyzer thing gave me a message “triphasic”. Now, in my fertility bible, as fertility docs call it, it says there is a very high % of pregnancy with triphasic charts…of course you can have a perfect looking chart and not be prego but god …this chart is definitely different then last.  Plus my temps took a nice jump this morning.

Brief explaination on it:  Triphasic temperature patterns are often indicative of implantation during a cycle and may occur before a home pregnancy test can return positive results. They are called triphasic because they represent a third level of high temperatures typically reached seven to ten days after ovulation. (The first level of temperatures are those preceding ovulation, the second level of temperatures are those immediately after ovulation, the third level of temperatures are those after implantation).

So, i’m not sure whether to be happy or just be numb and act like another day.   I hate the waiting game! I just know that things can go either way still at this point.  Posting this private to myself until I find out more so I don’t look so silly thinking / ranting about this so early

UPDATE:  7/26/05 
As much as I wanted and told myself I would wait until I told too many people when I found out if I was pregnant again… I’m excited and well i’m posting this to just friends not publicly.  I am not breaking this news out in the EQP forums yet until my ultrasound appt.
This was at 10dpo, last monday 7/18 (basically 10 days past ovulation and well on Monday – my period wasn’t due until well …7 days later so it showed VERY early that I was pregnant.)   I really felt like it was happening this time from the get go and my mom totally laughs as I kept calling her and saying “i think i’m pregnant” then when I finally told her she says to me “already have that mother intuition?”.   I told Patrick actually this last weekend ( had to hold the news in all week) as his “anniv. present”.  I got him an infant  t-shirt (6 months) from thinkgeek.com and put it in a kids tackle box with my pregnancy test and a card with my present – an all day guided fly fishing trip with his father.   
 
I had my beta levels (hcg) tested and at 14dpo it was 246 which is above the average for both singles and multiples.  That doesn’t mean much until we see the ultrasound other then i’m doing VERY well and definitely pregnant and looking good so far in the #’s.    My first ultrasound is Thurs. August 11th, which is almost 7 weeks, so he can get me in early and make sure things are looking good.  The heartbeat should be clear then.  Originally we had me scheduled for 5 weeks but we wanted to wait a week so I could see the heartbeat. 

Right now, I just need your thoughts and prayers that this will be a healthy normal pregnancy!  So far so good.  I feel great minus some achy crampy typical body adjusting stuff, a little icky to my stomach but not full blown morning sickness yet and well my boobs were the first indicator to me.  They honestly have felt heavy and bleh since almost ovulation.  (some would argue you can’t tell that early but I just knew it)

I know I have been pretty blunt and almost too open in describing this experience but it’s kind of just what comes out when I type.   If you start to think of having a baby as more then “just having sex” it’s really an amazing process that your body goes through.  It’s even more amazing to me that you can get to know your body this well to know when you can even have the chance to become a mother. 

thanks to all you that have provided me with such great support through all of this!  I just can’t believe how amazing this is and what timing with us moving to Oregon to a nice family house.    (the contracts are arriving supposedly in the mail today)  

One last thing~~~~ I’m getting my new car in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG About time!  I’m getting a Mazda 6 which has been by Consumer Reports the past few years the #1 Safety rated family sedan on the market.  I can’t wait. 

hugs
