It’s official. I’m 5 weeks pregnant (doctor said I’m 6, though. Saya ngeyeeeeel). Alhamdulillah.
I’m one of those girl who is lucky enough that I have my period on time. The cycle is almost always.. always.. around 26 – 28 days. So by common knowledge of fertile period by calendar system, I can simply calculate my fertile period is 14 days after the 1st day of my period begin.
Then one day, I texted my dear husband “Abang.. kenapa ya 3 hari ini kalau briefing pagi selalu keliyengan dan keringet dingin. Padahal berdirinya juga ngga lama. Paling 10 menit.”
And he replied, “Darah rendah kali? Coba minum suplemen penambah darah.”
“Iya kali ya...”, and I glanced upon the calendar at my desk to see my period marks (yes… I marked my calendar since 3 months before our wedding date… it was intended to see whether I would have my period on honeymoon or not. Hahaha. Ngebet, seus?), and nearly popped my eyes *hiperbola*, that day was day no.28! And there were no signs of I would get my period. I was 70% quite sure that i’m pregnant, because I lived right.
Mundur ke bulan Agustus 2010, sempat ada anomali pada periode haid saya.. Sampai puasa saya cuma bolong 4 hari saja. Jadiiiii migren saya sempat kumat gila gilaan, tapi saya menolak untuk ke dokter. Sempat menegak 4 strip obat sakit kepala dengan 4 merek yang berbeda (yep.. total 16 butir)… sebelum akhirnya ke dokter syaraf juga dan minum obat lain lagi pula.. Jadi total rrr… akh.. bikin stress kalo diitung. Jangan ditiru! Saya sungguh deg – degan. Kalau hamil, selain akan bilang alhamdulillah, ngeri juga pasti sedikit banyak obat – obat itu berpengaruh pada kandungan. Senewen. Senewen. Sempat test pack tapi negatif. Senewen.. senewen…. Jujur, saya lega ketika akhirnya haid di hari ke-34.
Teman yang saya ceritain sempet bilang, ”Gue rasa loe waktu itu hamil, Yut.. emang kalau mau hamil suka muncul penyakit dadakan” Well. Wallahuallam.
Long story short, I went to Bandung
Peed on a cup. Dipped the stick until maximum line allowed. 1st dark pink line quickly arised.
And there was an awkward 1 minute of silence in the bathroom…
“Abang.. it’s a negative”, I shouted… opened the door, showed him the stick and toasted it in a trash can
And he hugged me “Ngga papa… berarti belum waktunya.” (oh.. btw.. our plan was no plan)
“But I was quite sure”, then I read again the manual. Krik krik… the manual said wait 3 – 5 minutes!!
Rushed to the trash can to get the stick.And there it was… the second pinkish line!!!!
“Abang! I think it’s a positive!”
He looked over “tapi tipis gitu… kita test lagi aja ya” *strike one!*
Later that night with doctor’s note from Abang’s sister, we went to Pro**a for pregnancy test.
Filled up a form. Peed all over again. Waited there restlestly “Abang.. if it’s a positive.. what should I do? I’m scared” *my insecure side of feeling : am I ready?*
Then the Pro**a staff showed up and asked “ibu ini anak ke berapa? Udah pernah tes sebelumnya?”
*sialan … emang perawakan gue dah kayak emak emak anak 2????* “Yang pertama.. sudah tes hasilnya 2 garis tapi ngga yakin”
And she went inside again and came up with an envelope
With Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, I opened it.. it said “Positive”
My husband hugged me tight. “Alhamdulillah”, he said. “Alhamdulillah”, I replied.
But when we were in the car he said, “tapi itu staffnya kenapa nanya nanya gitu ya. Mukanya kayak ngga yakin. Kita minggu depan ke obgyn aja deh di Jakarta
So off we went to this obgyn the next weekend. Clearly my period had not showed up anyway during the week.
And we said hello to this tiny circle on USG monitor, “Hello there, Junior!” *pfiuuuh… so glad I saw the tiny dot. I’d picture myself hysterical like Rachel of Friends did when she could not see the baby*
*Strike 3! Finish! *
Now we know we’re gonna have a Junior! Wish us well yaaa =)
Now what…
krik krik….
