Stopped trying...am pregnant!

I've been TTC since November & recently decided to stop trying to get healthier. I'd had a faint positive a couple cycles that ended with terribly heavy periods (chemical pregnancies?). I'd been getting very frustrated because my cycles were completely whacky; the shortest cycle was 19 days with an 11 day period & the longest cycle was 34 days. Along with irregular cycles, I'd been experiencing extreme breast soreness in some of my cycles, which I read could be a sign of a hormonal imbalance.

After 8 cycles or so, I was frustrated, so I decided to stop trying & focus on my health. I've been pretty depressed the last two months thinking I was having a hormonal issue that prevented me from having a viable pregnancy. I told myself we'd start trying again in January 2011 after a few months of taking supplements.

I didn't start taking supplements right away like I'd planned because I needed a break from thinking about it all. This cycle, we barely did any BDing at all, just twice: once about 3 days after my period ended (another 11 day period btw...so frustrating) & then again on day 26, so when I got to day 40, I thought, "Great, my cycles are getting worse". Then day 42 came, & my husband & I began to wonder if I could actually be pregnant somehow. I didn't want to test yet because there had been so many cycles that I tested & then BOOM got my period the next day.

Finally, I bought the test before going to my Mother's for dinner. I was cooking the dinner & had a few minutes to test, so I did. I couldn't believe it when I saw the first line-the pregnancy line-show up boldly & then the control line followed quickly. I was stunned! I wasn't "trying" to get pregnant at all.

So keep the faith, just relax, & don't assume anything. The old adage "It happens when you stop trying" was absolutely true in my case, and I am SO happy that it was! My depression was instantly lifted the moment I saw that dark pink line. I feel so incredibly blessed right now. :) LOBD!
