In August of 2004 Dave & I decided we were ready to start trying for a baby. Things would come up or we would have second thoughts, but then someone said to me "the timing will NEVER be right, if you wait for everything to be perfect, it will never happen or it will be too late". We decided to start actively TTC in December 2004. Since we had decided mid-month, we must have missed the right conception time. I got my monthly visit on December 26th and counted 14 days from then. I also used an OPK (Ovulation Predictor Kit) to tell me when I'd be at the right time for conception. I was timed for conception on 1/9. The days passed and I got a little impatient so I tested early, about Jan 16th and it came out neg. I tested again on the 17th and there was an ever so faint line, but it appeared after the allowed reading time, so I shrugged it off as a negative.
On Jan 20th I stopped at Kroger on my way home and bought a first response early results test. I came home and tested, sure enough there was a light line, it came up within seconds! I started shaking and was so happy. I was waiting for Dave to come home, but I kind of gave it away on the phone anyway. He came home and I showed him the test. He was happy, but said I should test in the morning again to make sure. I did and the rest is history. Our baby is due October 2, 2005.
