The Honeymoon Years

We started marriage with a house and a puppy - so we were already having fun!  As planned I stopped using birth control after our honeymoon, but I was not specifically tracking anything.  Months passed, then a year.  Still - I was not very concerned - but my OB doctor said at age 32 I should probably see a fertility specialist.  Call right away as they are booked months out.  By this time I reluctantly started the process of tracking my body temperature each morning before getting out of bed to try to predict ovulation.  I got a book to help me look for other signs and bought the predictor kits at Walgreens.  So in early 2001 I called to make the appointment with the specialist.  We went on with life - work, friends, working on the house.  Then in March I realized it had been more than 38 days since my last period.  Then it was 40, then 44.  So I bought a PG test and tried it the next morning.  Although it's supposed to take a couple minutes for the results to be seen - I noticed it was positive within seconds of peeing on it.  I set it down and came back to check it out after 2 minutes - still positive.   Time to celebrate!
