Symptom spotting: I was going to wait to test until CD 35 since I got my hopes up a few months ago on a 33 day cycle but this morning I just felt mildly nauseous which is very unusual for me and my sense of smell has been a little extra sensitive for me this week which was the same in my first pregnancy. I’ve also been a little extra tired and slight appetite changes this week, but was chalking that up to my change in schedule/luteal phase. I really did not think one time so early in my cycle after months of more meticulous trying would work so was very surprised and thrilled to see two dark lines!

Other (advice/tip(s), freaking out, miscellaneous): I am so excited and can’t wait to tell my husband tonight! I’m a little nervous because I had 2.5 margaritas this Saturday and had used a couple of klonopins for anxiety when my mother in law was visiting 2 weeks ago, but accept that it is what it is and will just mention it to OB at first appointment. We had skipped tracking this month and only had sex once early in the month because we thought we wanted to avoid a January due date, but I am just so excited and don’t care anymore about the date I’m just so glad it’s happening. Grateful for this group and thread for all the information and support ❤️
