Good Morning
Rach I was reading your status on FB and I went back to my blog to see the dates when I found outHere is my blog post from the 11th December, my first post, slightly edited (but it was a private blog until I got to 12 weeks)
"After waiting for quite some time DH and I decided that we couldn't be bothered waiting for out new house to be built that we would just give TTC a shot and see how we go, it can take a long time so we thought yeah this could take a few months or more so we'll be right!!
After the first month of TTC I met with my Dr about a month before for the dreaded PS, and spoke with her about us TTC and she just asked about what supplements I was taking and we also spoke about my gym work - as I was worried that I could push it too hard and do some damage. So after reassuring me the everything we were doing was fine, month 2 of TTC started.
I was a bit more relaxed, but when the TWW arrived I got myself so stressed out, wrote myself off and told myself that it wasn't going to happen this month, and went and spent the day at Victor with friends (I wasn't the chirpiest of people, but I don't think anyone noticed!!). It was a great distraction - but deep down I was shattered, kinda hard not to get caught up!!
I had been burping since the 29th of November, not just the occassional burp - a lot, and it was kinda funny!! Then cramps and got woken up one night with sharp pain in my BBS, and was a little nauseaus, but I said to Roy and myself nope, not this month.
Anyway I thought I would prepare for the testing - decided that I would test 2 days early as I wanted to do at least one POAS - it is fun!!! So on the Monday I bought supplies to cover all bases - good and bad!!
After writing myself off during month two of TTC I was absolutely shocked to find that I had a big bright BFP!! I had convinced myself that I was not UTD, and couldn't believe my eyes when at 5:50am on the 4.12.07 2 lines showed up straight away - OMG!!!
YEAH!!!!
So I quickly booked an appointment with my Dr that day as my Dr told me there is a massive shortage of OB's in Adelaide and I could end up waiting a long time for an appointment, (unfortunately my Dr was on leave and had to see another Dr), and appointment was 45 minutes late - not helping my nerves.
When I told the Dr so was very excited - more than me it was beautiful, she rang the office of Dr A B (OB) to see if she was available on my expected date, and great for me she was, so with the referral letter and phone numbers in hand I left the Dr's in a little daze, jumped in my car and rang the OB office straight away to book all of my appoinments in. First Midwife appoinment with S is on Monday 7th January, and my first OB appointment is on 8th February four our first US - yeah!!!!
In the meantime we are taking care of our little Jelly Bean, and sending lots of love.
Ahh.... We are on Cloud 9
xxoo"

Hello all
and racing onto BB with our pants still around our ankles to tell everyone, how time flies
What was caused your friends bub to come early?
Attempt to catch up - yet again!
I hope it is your last appt too and things only go onwards and upwards from here. Oh and my guess for Joshies weight is 195gms. But I hope you get more!
So kudos to The Bear!
) and while I was there I discussed my plans with my doc and she gave me some great advice and sent me for blood tests to make sure everything was set to go for the journey, along with the advice that this often takes some time and to prepare to not get a positive result for up to 12 months. So after that visit we decided that we would wait for the next cycle to start trying. My blood tests came back all ok, but my PS was 'inconclusive' which meant I would need to go back for another test next cycle. Not ideal when TTC. I ummed and ahhed over it all, but decided that we would not actively try, but just see what happens and would actively try the cycle after, after the PS had been repeated. I realised that I didn't actually know alot about my cycle in terms of length or predicting it so I started temping in an effort to know how long my cycles are and my ovulating patterns, but in so doing I also knew when I was ov-ing so DTD at the right time was not exactly difficult!! So, I bought some tests ready to POAS and decided that I wanted to POAS without knowing if AF was just around the corner or not just for the fun of it. So I did... on the 28/11/07 I peed, looked at the test for a few minutes, grew bored and left it to have my breakfast. I went back about 20 mins later and there was a faint line. Faint, but no mistaking it was there. I was shocked 
But having looked 20 mins afterwards I wasn't sure if the line had come up after the 10min limit or not. So I tested again the next day, and yep, there it was, darker and within the 10mins. I still couldn't believe it, so I went and bought a different brand of tests and tested again the next day. Yep. No doubt about it. Figured I may as well use the other test in the pack too so did that a few days later. Still yep. Still couldn't believe it so I bought another pack of tests and tested both tests again through the week - I think all up I did 7 tests!! Needless to say when I went to my doc for my repeat PS and told her I was UTD she didn't give me a blood test!! I was soooo not expecting it and know that I was very blessed to get my
