I remember the day I found out I was pregnant with my little bundle of sunshine, I sat on the closed toilet in my bathroom at home after peeing in a disposable cup. The first test I got was one of those cheap ones at Wal-Mart that just checked your HCG which a hormone pregnant women make great amounts of which is what is used to test if a women is pregnant.
After some time of trying to avoid the fact that I indeed missed my period, and a couple days before I had spotted this brownish discharge, tmi I know.
Little did I know at the time it was a thing called implantation bleeding which is when the embryo attaches to the mothers uterus. I just assumed it was the start to my period, after many anxious minutes I finally looked down.
