So I honestly think the moment is finally here. After nearly a decade of trying I think God is finally giving my wife and I the baby the we've been asking for. The problem? My wife doesn't think so. But, she's been having tons of food cravings lately. Everyday except for last night withing the past 6-7 days she's been sleeping at least 10-12 hours a day and oftentimes crashing between 4:30 and 5:30. She's been getting cramps that feel like pressure over the past 3-4 days I asked her on discord if shes still experiencing them today but she just got to work and is working and will answer me on her 15 minute break. But.. yeah... She's also been extremely hormonal and her breasts have been tender. Honestly there are a lot of signs that are beyond her usual.
The problem? She's tested twice now and both have come back negative so now she's convinced shes not pregnant and I don't want to put her through more negatives. She told me to wait until her period and I'm agreeing to that but she doesn't believe me that she ovulated on the 21st and that her period is actually due in tomorrow through the 6th. So the next day we're planning to test (the 7th) is actually a day after her expected period anyway. I mean... I kind of just want to get a blood test and find out once and for all but she doesn't want to pay $45 for one and definitively find out because she believes she isn't pregnant.
But I told her her cramps are likely implantation cramps and if she implanted yesterday or the day before today is likely going to be negative. And if she implanted today or is going to implant today it explains the negative and if she's going to implant tomorrow not even the best of tests are going to detect that. You can't detect a baby that doesn't exist yet. But, she also could be right and she's not pregnant and I'm wrong.
Either or? We need prayers. I've been praying nonstop for this baby for the last decade and the fact that I think that its here is just frustrating when my wife doesn't believe the same and I keep putting her through all of these negatives. It makes me want to stop trying so that I stop putting her through pain. I wish I could convince her into getting a blood test so that I can completely take the bandaid off without it hurting....
