Associates Degree from ITT Tech

I have a pretty good life I suppose. I got pregnant in 2006 and was very excited. Then it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy and that made me very depressed. But we decided to keep trying to get pregnant and then I gave up for a while. I started seeing my gyno about 6 months later because my periods were nowhere near normal...they would be 3 weeks late or 2 weeks or just came whenever they wanted to. So she ran alot of tests on me and found out that I was not ovulating, which made me even more depressed. So she told me to take ovulation tests for 3 months and keep a diary of everything so I did. For two months at least. Then the last month I just kinda gave up since all of the ovulation tests were negative. So I went back to the doctor and so she wanted to run more tests on me and my partner and told me to call when I started my period so I could go have a test done. Well I had been feeling nauceous and so sleepy but I knew it was impossible that I was pregnant so I just ruled that out. Then a week later I still hadn't started my period so I decided to take a pregnancy test knowing tht it would be negative anyway. But to my suprise it was positive! And I about had a heartattack!! Anyway, I'm due on Feb 20, 2009 and I can't wait!!
