#1- the hospital called me. We had been trying to get pregnant for just about a year and I had two miscarriages in that time. I had gone to the doctor to start the initial testing process. When they did the blood test they ran a pregnancy test. They called me the next day and said my HCG levels were elevated and they wanted me to come in for another blood test because there was a possibility I could be pregnant. The hospital called the next day and said my #'s had almost tripled and I was definitely pregnant!!
#2- I had been sick with the flu and just wasn't getting better. Than it dawned on me at like 11:00 at night that I could be pregnant. Well once I have a thought in my head I HAVE to know the answer, so I sent Riley to the store for a pregnancy test. The box said that it was most accurate first thing in the morning and not wanting to risk a false answer I went to bed. By 4:00 in the morning I couldn't take it any longer. I took the test and waited what seemed like an eternity to find out my suspicions were true and I was pregnant!
