So I've realized that it's really hard to wait weeks to find out if I'm pregnant or not...and we're still in just the first month of trying! If I start my period in July it would be on the 9th (or at least very close to it). I'm really liking not being on birth control anymore because I'm hoping it will regulate my cycle out. I may have mentioned this before, but for the last 4 years I have been having 2 periods a month. I had 2 different doctors and 2 different Physicians Assistants try many different kinds of birth control pills on me and nothing ever helped. It may all be in my head, but I feel relieved knowing that I'm done with all the experimenting.
Yesterday my husband and I went to go get breakfast together since he had the day off. On our way there I was feeling really nauseous. It didn't pass until I was half way done eating. I told my husband to make a mental note of this day just in case it turns out I'm pregnant. It could have been my very first symptom! Realistically, it could have just been normal me. I'm that weird person who feels like I'm going to be sick if I'm reallly hungry. The nausea went away after I ate breakfast and my husband said that even though it wouldn't be unheard of, he would be shocked if I got pregnant after only trying for one month.
As of June 17 I have stopped eating and drinking all of those no-no's for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. I haven't had any kind of alcohol. I have replaced the little pop that I drink with caffeine-free pop and haven't had any coffee or tea. I haven't had any kind of sushi (which I normally love), deli meats, allergy medicine, or Aleve. I still need to pick up some Tylenol to have at home for when I get a headache (thankfully I haven't had any caffeine headaches).
I'm sure there will be a day when I really want a sub sandwich or a cup of coffee and I'll probably have it, especially since my doctor said it would be okay. I guess I'm just testing myself to see how long I can last without all of these things. Some people have told me that I do things the hard way, put too much pressure on myself, and that I must like to suffer. The last one was in reference to how much I like to run.
Well, I guess it's time to wait now... I'm just so bad at being patient.
