I had been feeling a little tired for the past few days, and I thought of taking a pregnancy test because I had also missed my period. I remember testing with two testing strips, and I just sat in the washroom for 5 minutes and kept staring at the testing strip. It was a very overwhelming, surprising, happy, and different kind of feeling."
