False Positive result in Pregnancy

AM I PREGNANT ON NOT?

After being 5 days of missed period, I took a urine pregnancy test. I was shocked in the 1^st place when I saw double lines on the strip, but the test line was not so bright. It was a faint positive result. May be its too early (I thought)..

I told bb my husband regarding the result.. He was extremely happy at that time. The same happy face when I told him I was pregnant during Addeena’s time..

It was an unplanned pregnancy as Addeena is only 9 months old.. but Alhamdulillah, thanks to Allah for giving “anugerah” to our family.. Manusia hanya mampu merancang, tetapi Allah yang menentukan segalanya.. Right?

Then today (16^th May 2011) I was so excited to scan my future baby… By right he/she should be at 6weeks period of gestation. Unfortunately, I could not find any intrauterine sac.. it was a perplexing dilemma.. Am I pregnant or not? After repeat scan by my specialist, it was confirmed no cavity in my uterus.. Then my specialist advised me to repeat upt and it was negative.. I AM NOT PREGNANT actually … It was false positive pregnancy test… False positive pregnancy results are not common but can occur in certain conditions..

Today I has my menses. It was 2 weeks late.. Never experienced like this before.

To bb.. sorry for giving you hope.. belum ada rezeki… we can try harder next time… =)

'Right' age gap?

Is there a 'right' age gap between sibling? Can someone please answer? To me there is no absolute 'right' age gap! Our first baby, Nur Addeena Zahra was born on the 3rd of August, 2010. Currently, we were expecting another baby around January, 2012. So the age gap between the two would be 1 year and 5 month. But if we looked only at the year 2010 and 2012, there are 2 years difference. Meaning that when Addeena is in standard 3, her little bro/sis would be in standard 1. So, I guess it is okay. Hopefully they would still share the same syllabus so that the same text book can be reused by her little bro/sis. Kedekutnye papa!

In the long term, a small age gap would probably means having all the 'messy eating years, sleep deprivation, baby crying and untidy house' to be concentrated in one short period (when we were still young). Then we can relax. Since both of us is working, it is easier for us to sort out childcare for two children of a similar age together.

Starting to blog

Assalamualaikum..

actually we have been waiting to try and start a blog for awhile now but didn't have anything too interesting to "blog" about. Now since we are expecting another baby early next year, I think this will be a great way to help our families stay in touch with our soon-to-be growing family. Insyaallah, we will try our best to make this blog as interesting as possible. :)
