March 2011 - could this be the month?

I'd been having secret conversations with Amy at work. She worked part time and when I needed to call her, i'd make sure no-one else was in my office. She told me to relax and told me that she thought this month could be the one.

I decided not to get obsessed with pregnancy tests before my period was due. It's so easy to do a test even though you know even if you were pregnant, the chances of it showing is incredibly slim! I told Jodi that I would wait until April 9th before I tested. I truly didn't believe that I had it in me but I was determined to relax and this was the best way to help with this.

I don't feel ovulation every month but this month I did. I had ovulation cramps exactly when I should and strangely several days after this, I felt it again. I was driving work colleagues home after an informal engagement party. Dee had got engaged and we had a dinner party at Craig's Mum's. Conversation had got on to pregnancy and as I discussed things I felt cramping. Thankfully it was time to leave - I was tired and in pain. My colleague Caroline said about me ovulating. I said "i've already ovulated this month". She has 18 year old twins and said that at my age it's more common to have them. Of course I was thinking different. I'd heard stories about how some women feel the egg implanting. Ridiculous?

Things carried on as normal for the rest of the month. I hardly thought about pregnancy and was enjoying spending time with Ash, Jodi and Charlie. He was growing fast and wanted to spend so much time with him.
