Anxiously anticipating

I am hoping to get an April 2012 baby and so it's just one more week left to conceive. I did the test last 2 days and it was negative! My last period was 9 June and my next should be around 1st week of July but I had missed it. I had reasons to believe I was pregnant as I was bloated, felt dizzy and vomitted this familiar yellow liquid due to gag reflex while brushing my teeth in the morning but that was it. I believe the HCG levels might still be very low and hard to detect in very early pregnancies. Maybe I should just wait for more signs to show before I retake the test.

To prep my body, I drank at least a glass of milk and consume 5mg folic acid tablet everyday. Lately I could feel cramps and a slight swelling of my twin peaks, yes another sign, but I'm not going to rule out anything yet until I see that double line on the kit that screams POSITIVE!

It will be different this time as I have not one but two heroes by my side. Based on some scientific studies, I might have a higher chance of conceiving twins due to my fleshy body, family history and age (late 20s). Wow! That will be super duper cool and it's a bonus if I got girls. I'm excited to embrace pregnancy once again and I'm pretty sure my son is ready to take on a new role as a big brother. What will it be this time - a girl, a boy or twins? Oh  que sera sera, what will be will be...
