An update from my last post and missing period:
Two weeks to the date Mother Nature ended her cruel little joke. In all honesty I have to say I wasn’t necessarily disappointed or really all that upset that my period showed up. I know that sounds a little odd since each month my period does show I am heartbroken but I just knew this wasn’t it.
You know how some women just know that they are pregnant; well I just knew that whatever this was it wasn’t going to stick around. I only took the one test when I was 5 days late, after that I refused to take one. I think it was because I didn’t want to see that faint positive only to have it all washed away a few days later.
I have to say I am very relieved that it wasn’t something more serious that could have really hampered getting pregnant. My worry now is how does this affect my next cycle? Will it be business as usual with me ovulating around CD 18 or does that change now? I was really looking forward to not using OPK’s this month since I have been pretty regular.
A positive outlook on the whole situation though is that it has changed my perspective due dates! If I was to not get pregnant this month and have a December baby (which I’m on the fence about) odds are that unless I’m right on time it will probably be more a very early January baby! Yes that does mean a November baby could be a December one but it would be so early I would be ok with that.
But I’m getting a little ahead of myself here since I have no idea what this cycle is going to bring, hopefully a BFP but who knows. So I guess fingers crossed and hoping for a lot of sticky baby dust!
So sorry about AF!! I hear you on the OPKs – I’ve learned that there is no such thing as regular since starting them – one month ontime, one month early, one month late, I never know until I see that second line! I’m on the fence about a December baby too so really hoping this is my month, although, if I’m being totally honest, I will take a baby over a birth date! Good Luck!
