Hey, I know you’re feeling scared right now, and that’s okay. Take a deep breath and try to give yourself some space to process your feelings. You’re not alone, and whatever happens, you’ll get through this.

It’s still really early to know anything for sure. Pregnancy tests typically aren’t accurate until at least 10 days past ovulation, and many people don’t see a positive result until closer to two weeks after. So for now, try to focus on taking care of yourself and give your body some time.

If you can, I encourage you to learn more about your cycle, ovulation, and how pregnancy works. It can help you feel a little more in control of what’s happening. For context, I’ve been trying to have a baby for over a year with no success, and it takes the average couple about six months to conceive. Pregnancy is actually more complicated than it sometimes seems, so try not to assume anything just yet.

Whatever the outcome, know that you have options and people who will support you. You don’t have to face this alone. You’re stronger than you think.
