Day 13

The past 13 days have been the longest days, spent consumed by the prospect of being pregnant. All that came to a smashing end this morning when I got a surprise when I went to the bathroom. My Period. I had a feeling these past few days that I had period-like symptoms, but there were always the few things that reminded me of being preggo. My dreams lately have been quite lucid and I wake up with a very distinct memory of what I dreamed about. The sleepiness, but like I mentioned earlier, that was probably a combination of quitting caffeine cold turkey and having a sinus infection.

I also realized my ovulation calendar was off by 2 days. So after re-adjusting my calendar, the night we ttc was still one day before my "most fertile day." But the method we used to ttc was probably flawed, to which I am convinced is the main reason I'm not pregnant.

Technicalities aside, I sort of let a sigh of relief when I got the answer. I am right smack dab in the middle of pretty huge projects in my life that would honestly be carried out easier with me having my health and well being under control. But in two short months, I should be completed with everything. I can now finish these projects, and start weaning myself from work, and start saying 'no' to any future projects that I know aren't pregnancy-friendly. I'm also going to wean myself from caffeine a lot earlier than this last time. I have had wicked migraines and it's totally not worth it when I have a full agenda and can't function because of a debilitating headache.

I'm currently sipping on my diet coke. I'll probably lose a few pounds just to get through my sister's wedding (I have to fit in my dress!) and then I seriously want to ttc in September.

So now that I'm off my baby high, I'll get going and finish my morning. I have a few things I need to do before work. I need to keep up with my magnesium and B6 supplements because they have made a huge difference in my energy levels. My skin and nails are quite fabulous right now, I think in part of the B6. It was either that or a surge of hormones. My face hasn't been this clear for almost 9 months. I love being 28 and have the face of a 14 year old.

So, the journaling will subside for now. But next month, I'll begin documenting the journey from preparation to ttc and we'll see where it goes from there!
