It is 9am on Monday 7th March and Bridget and I are in our Doctor's office awaiting urine results to come back for traces of an elevated HCG hormone. Depending on how high the level is, Dr Cooper says she may do a transvaginal ultrasound just to be sure of the result.

My wife has been rather upset since two mornings ago, when she woke up and noticed there was some blood in her underwear, she has assumed since then that this attempt has failed even though I've tried to tell her I've read about implantation bleeding and how common it can be to experience, however she now doesn't want to get her hopes up by believing that's what it was.

I currently have Bridget's hand in my own as we sit in the two seats opposite Dr Coopers' desk, awaiting her return.

"Good morning, how are you both doing?" Dr Cooper walks in, closing the door behind her and I decide that I will be the voice for my wife and I.

"Hello Dr Cooper, we are not too bad thank you, Bridget had been feeling great until she noticed some blood in her underwear two mornings ago, so we're not sure what to make of that."

"Okay, nothing to be worried about I'm sure, let me just pull up your file Bridget and the urine sample you provided the nurse will be there with the results."

After what felt like hours had passed Dr Cooper finally spoke again.

"Right, let's see now…okay I have you HCG reading here Bridget, the trace of the hormone is extremely high, congratulations ladies, you're pregnant."

"WHAT?!" We both burst out together, my grin has never been wider than it is right now. Bridget is literally shaking beside me so I wrap my arms around her and give her a kiss.

"Bridget, Franky would you like a transvaginal ultrasound to have a look and 100% confirm or are you happy to wait until 8 weeks where I will perform a transabdominal ultrasound? It is completely up to you both. The only thing I will say is we normally don't see too much until at least 5-6 weeks on the type of ultrasound I'm offering you today, and you are barely 4 weeks."

"It's up to you Gidge, I have no issues waiting until 8 weeks, I think the level of HCG confirms that we're pregnant anyway, and we'll see a lot more if we wait I guess."

"I agree with Franky; I would like to wait until we hit the 8-week mark – even though right now that seems like so far away."

"Perfectly alright, I will give you two a minute in here and when you're ready make an appointment for 4 weeks' time at reception."

"Thank you Dr Cooper." We say our goodbyes before I turn to my wife

"Congratulations baby, we did it! There's a little tiny baby starting to form in their Gidge." I place my hand on her blouse covered stomach, still completely flat with no trace of our growing baby. I then lean over and capture her mouth with my lips, as she brings her hand over the top of mine and pulls back from my lips, tears on her cheeks and smiles.

"I can't wait to be mummies with you, Francesca Westfall-Doyle."
