My husband and I knew that we were ready to have a second baby as soon as was medically advised after I had the surro babe. My OB told us 6-7 months, so, at 6 months (November), we were ready to go.
Through my surro experience, I had learned that I could get a positive Home Pregnancy Test (HPT) at 9-10 days past ovulation (dpo), so I started peeing early, not really knowing when I had ovulated. I finally got a faint positive on December 6th, the day we were leaving to visit my sister in AZ. I kept peeing while there and kept getting slightly darker positives.
I scheduled my first OB appointment for Jan 3. Kaiser won't see me until, at least 7 weeks and they prefer 8+ weeks. I think my Dr. was off for the holidays, so I would be almost 9 weeks (using first day of last period) at that appointment. We were excited, told all of our close friends, and family and were preparing for an August baby.
All that time, I just had a weird feeling, like something wasn't right. But I had a 2 for 2 record of cycles trying to babies made, so I had no reason to doubt my body's abilities. Until January 3rd. . .
