I had been using the ovulation kits these past few months because my ovulation time is always different than the norm. I had left over sticks from last month, so instead of five testing days in October, I had 7! 7 testing days! So I started testing early, and all seven days, nothing. So after the testing was over, we got busy anyway, and I just assumed I missed my fertile window when I got what I presumed to be my period, only one day before it was due.
I have noticed since we got back from vacation that I am starving when I wake up and starving at the end of the work day. I just chalked it up to being busy and burning more calories. Yesterday I noticed I was hungry every three hours! That can't mean I'm pregnant, I'm trying to start my period! Then last night I kept having to pee. So after class I decided to take a pregnancy test.
Immediately nothing happened. I stared and stared at it, then I threw it in the garbage. Before bed I pulled it out and -- it's positive! So I left it on my husband's wallet, so he would find it this morning (he wakes up much earlier than I do). After I woke up, I took another test. Yep still positive. This is the note he left me.

My first appointment is tomorrow to confirm the pregnancy. Hoping they'll do an HCG Check.
I told the director of my daughters school about the pregnancy, and guessed on the date so I could go ahead and get us on the list for infant care. She asked me if I had the support of a church. I said yes (even though I'm not a member [yet?]). Then she asked if she could pray over me. I said that would be wonderful.
It was very moving. Brought me to tears. I need all the prayers I can get.
My daughter prays every night for a healthy baby brother. "Or sister" we always add. Hopefully all of our prayers are being answered.
