A few days ago a started spotting, this was like a leap of joy for every part of my being! I thought that my first cycle would bring dread and the fact of no longer being pregnant to my heart like a slap in the face. Yet, I began wondering before I saw the spotting, "What if I'm pregnant again?" I couldn't imagine such at this time. My body has been through the wringer I hadn't started any additional folic acid. And I want to try working on my health a little bit (like adding exercise & eating more fruits/veggies and less processed/fast foods). I've been able to stay away from caffeine for the most part, but my blood pressure was still high last time.
Anyways, when I saw the faint pink, I almost shouted out loud! Now it's day three of spotting, and I expect it to take of full blown at any moment. And with my calculations, with my normal 14 day Luteal Phase, I ovulated less than a week after my hcg dropping below pregnant. I thought I was going to start this weekend, and I know it's a period because it's been more than 20 days since I last had any bleeding. AAAhhh super excited. Now the debate if we wait one more month of just go for it.
The one thing that makes me a little nervous about trying now is the 6 month probation period that Thornapple has for new employees. It would mean about 3 months off of probation and I'd be on maternity leave lol. Oh well I'm gonna have faith in God, and look into the costs of short term disability. Between these two things I know James and I will get pregnant at the right time.
Often things strike my heart and want to come bursting forth. They come spilling out onto the page, or computer screen. With ink filling pages or my fingers flying across the keyboard, my mind going a million miles a minute, and my heart crying out to be heard. Here is where you’ll find those things, my little notes on life.
Little Bit About Me
- Jess
- First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.
