Its not always easy....

My hubby (Andy) and I got married in July 2003, from the moment we got married we knew that we wanted children... so we started trying. I was 23, so thought.... This'll be easy!

So many of my friends talked about how easy it is to fall pregnant and so many people become pregnant without wanting to. It was not that easy for me. Many of my friends fell pregnant, and some were by accident. I watched as there little bundles of joy grew up to be toddlers racing around there feet. My friends and family often asked me and my hubby 'Awww are you not thinking of having children?' or 'Why dont you have kids yet? You've been married for 5 years'. Which both me and my hubby would find upsetting, as its not as tho we weren't trying!

In October 2008, I decided enough was enough and I would visit my GP for advice, having sat and chatted to Diane, for about 15 minutes, she advised me to send my hubby off to his GP first as he was easier to test, and then come back to her for my tests, it all seemed quite daunting and scary, but I was mentally prepared for the worst. We were due to go to Florida the following week, so my hubby agreed to go to his doctors when we got back.

That week in florida I decided to have one last real blow out before we set about all the tests that might be in store for us when we got back to the UK, drinking Mageritas in Downtown Disney, on every rollercoaster in Disney and Universal, Swimming with Dolphins, we did it all! Having Thanks Giving dinner with Family on the most beautiful beach in the world! We had an absoloute blast! I was exhausted the whole time we were there, which I put down to such a busy schedule and jet lag!..... How wrong was I!!

We returned to the UK, with still no sign of the usual 'monthly', so I shot down to the local shop and bought 2 tests.

While my hubby checked his vast amount of e-mails from our two weeks away, I disapeared off to do my test.

'OOOOhhhhhhh MY GOD' was what Andy heard from the bathroom, thinking I'd fallen and hurt myself, he shot to the bathroom door. Only to find me stood at the door beaming like a cheshire cat holding the test in my hand! 'Your gonna be a Daddy!

He looked at me.... then the test... then back at me.... we could hardly believe it! 5 years of trying..... and it happened, no tests needed!

I booked an appointment with Diane, and she asked if I was back following my hubbys test results.... I replied 'I dont think we need to.... I think I might be pregnant!'
