The Finding Out

Having missed my period for two weeks, we began to suspect the good news. But not wanting to create any false alarm or false hope to our families members, we kept it cool and quiet under our own blanket. We thought, 2 weeks late could be anything, so just to be very sure, let's see a gynae when it is 3 weeks late. Day by day passes by so slowly after my two weeks of delay, we were getting more and more anxious.

THE PREGNANCY TEST TUBE

Finally on the third day, which is on 20th Oct, we bought an in-house brand pregnancy test tube from a pharmacy near my office. There were two types, one is to place several drops of urine into a well in the test device and the other one is holding the test strips in the urine stream. We choose the later one which is the most common and easier one. We were really excited after buying the test device. But I was also afraid at the same time becoz I was worrying about the negative result.

During our journey back home, my heart was beating like crazy with anxieties and fears fighting against each others. I asked my hubby, "Do we really have to do this later? How about doing it tomorrow?" He laughed at me. Yeah, we both know that this is something we must get it done and no more delaying. So, upon reaching home, both of us eagerly opened the box. There was a instruction leaflet, it says, "...best done in the morning when the HCG at its highest." Not wanting to have an invalid result, we waited till the next morning.

The next morning was exciting for us. We woke up earlier than usual and went straight to the toilet to do the test. As soon as i took out the test device from my urine stream, the result window turned pink and within 3 seconds two deep pink lines appeared. "That's it? I am pregnant?" Tho' we were suspicious with the result but we were really happy. So, the next thing to do is make an appointment with the gynae.
