You know, I never believed in implantation bleeding, and thought it was kind of a myth. Well, when I stopped trying, I wasn't keeping track of my cycles (At all!) and all of a sudden I started bleeding. Figured it was my period. About 3-4 days later, it was gone. Okay, a shorter period, which was great. And then two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant! Total craziness! So, just saying. . . you just never know.

And thanks for your sweet comment on my blog today. I can't wait to share with you and everyone details of my trip. :); October 7, 2010 at 9:06 AM

carrie said... [Reply to comment]: Dude. How have you NOT taken a pregnancy test yet???

(I spotted with my first pregnancy... 12dpo. Thought it was my period, then it stopped. It definitely happens!)

Seriously. Go take a test, woman! You know the doctor is going to have you do that anyway - what are you waiting for?!
