15 September 2011

It was 13 September 2011:

If my cycle stayed 26days, then aunty P should be coming on the 13th.

If my cycle turned itself back to 28days, then aunty P should be coming on the 15th.

Despite all the weird feelings that i've been experiencing for the pass 2-3days, i waited until the 15th before i decided to buy a home pregnancy test. Wan agreed. I was too excited already but Wan kept on reminding me to be cool, because 50% chance was still "not pregnant". He didn't want me to feel so down and sad. He was right. I should control the uncertain excitement.

Came 15 September 2011:

i was suppose to go and buy the test stick with Wan, but i couldn't wait. So i bought one myself, the cheapest there was at Guardian Presint 8, Putrajaya. There should be the RM9.90 but it wasn't available. So i bought the next cheapest, RM12 (if i'm not mistaken) I bought the cheapest one because i didn't want to feel wasted if it turned out to be negative. Cheapskate..i know :)

so there i was waiting at home. 45 minutes (until Wan reached home) felt like 45 weeks! I wanted to do it with him around. But truthfully, i failed to wait.

I did it and within seconds i got the result instantly! i screamed and twirl and smile. Then i called Wan, god knows how many times asking him to drive as fast as he could to me.

Then finally he reached home. We had dinner, and relax for few minutes then i break the news.

the conversation went like this:

win: wan, win da beli pregnancy test tu

wan: hmm..mmm..

win: wan dah tau?

wan: haah.

win: how? (went on checking things in the bedroom and found guardian plastic bag) oohh, u saw this plastic bag, eh?

wan: yup.

win: oke.

wan: so?

(i gave him the test)

wan: (saw the two lines) maksudnya apa?

(i gave him a blank face and shake my head, then handed him the instruction of the test, where they had pictures of what the two lines mean)

wan: ha? haaaaaaaaaaa

his reaction was surprised + happy and all other details, i shall keep it to myself. :)

we went to the clinic and the result was confirmed by a doctor.

and then we called my mum and dad and told my sisters. The next day, we went to wan's house and break the news to wan's family. and then baru called my close friends, and lastly facebook.! :)

signs

a few days before i expected aunty P to come, i got a feeling that something weird was happening to my body. all of the menstrual symptoms that i usually have every month had shown itself, so in my mind i was almost sure that aunty P was going to come.

but later i noticed that "something" seemed swollen and too sensitive when touched (u know what i am talking about, right?) and my waist measurement has increased itself by 3 inches. imagine that. from 26 to 29.

i felt weak and a bit tired almost all the time especially early in the morning when i woke up. I complaint that to Wan, but he said maybe it was aunty P's coming.
my feeling was.."i maybe pregnant!"

so i started googling all pregnancy early signs and symptoms especially those that show itself before a missed period. to my surprise, i had few of the symptoms already.!!
(but i found so many different symptoms listed in so many websites, among the famous ones, i considered reliable.)

i had (among others):
1. Food cravings
2. Darkening of areolas
3. Implantation bleeding/spotting or cramping
4. Fatigue
5. Tender, swollen breasts

the third sign happened on the 12th, at first i really believed that it was aunty P. but now i know it was not.

diligent blood.

my cycle has been a diligent one. always 28 days..never more, never less, except during my university days especially during exam, aunty P came as she pleased. (girls, u know who aunty P is, right?)

but after marriage, my so called diligent cycle shortened itself, from 28 to 26 and later come back into being 28..

in this beautiful month of september, when it's supposed to come on the 13th, "she" came on the 12th!.. i was fasting on that day, it was almost maghrib when "she" arrived. so i considered my puasa as an unfinished one. :(

i got frustrated not only because my unfinished puasa, but because of my hope of conceiving has just being squashed!...

until i found out that "she" was not the "aunt P" who i thought has arrived.!

my story.

i was solemnized to my most beloved husband, Wan, on the 26th of March 2011. So it has been exactly 5 months, 3 weeks and 3 days (not that i counted the details myself, it is with the help of daisypath ticker, of course :)...)

our initial plan was to have the first year of marriage to ourselves and only after that will we be thinking of expanding our little family. ONE YEAR, supposedly.

but, later in the final week of august, we started to talk about conceiving and having baby..but we didn't really put our whole mind into it,..but it seems like Allah heard us, on the 15th of September 2011, the doctor confirmed that we are indeed 4 weeks pregnant. yey! :)

i went on sharing the good news with my family and a few close friends and later i announced it at facebook.

ALHAMDULILLAH, that's all i can say. until today, i still haven't fully digested the fact that i am actually pregnant.

i am glad, we didn't wait until one year has lapsed before trying to conceive because the feeling that i am experiencing now feels like a piece of heaven. :))))))
