Our first baby

I've been on birth control implants for over a decade, and I stopped using them about 3-4 years ago. Throughout this journey, I've relied on the Natural Cycles app and taken countless ovulation tests in the hopes of getting pregnant. Our optimism was slowly fading, leading us to visit our GP and undergo numerous blood tests, both for me and my husband. The next step on our path was to seek help from a fertility clinic. To our surprise, all our test results came back normal. The GP's reassuring words were, "You are both normal; you just haven't found the right timing yet." This provided us with immense relief.

Last week, my period was delayed, and I took a pregnancy test that showed a very clear POSITIVE result. I couldn't believe it and took a few more tests on different days to confirm the good news – they all came back positive.

I immediately called our GP to share the joyous news. They congratulated me and informed me that there wasn't much more they could do at this point. They also sent me a text with a link to complete a self-referral form for prenatal care.

Since this is our first pregnancy, I'm filled with curiosity and eagerness to learn everything I need to know about this wonderful journey ahead. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘Ά

What are the next steps? I really want this to work really well for me and my baby.

so many things are happening to my body now, I want to know all πŸ˜‚

Thank you for letting me share my little story
