Psychics, Pregnancy, & Patience (LONG)
Y'all...I am freaking the eff out right now, and it is for some of the craziest reasons!!! Plus, y'all may find this to be a bit insane, and if you think I'm a weirdo, I'm sorry! I'm not sure if y'all remember, but I have mentioned that DH & I got a BFP on Mother's Day and then ended up having a m/c on Memorial Day weekend. Fast forward to last month. I wrote a blog post about feeling down in the dumps, was ready to revert to old habits, etc. You can check that post out here if you want (http://slimpickinskitchen.com/2012/07/the-skinny-on-me-week-14-watching-the-weight/)
Anywho, the same day I wrote that post I got a message from this girl that I know, but not very well. She was my best friend's MOH back in Oct 2010. So, I had spent a good bit of time with her, but I didn't know her on a very personal level. So, she messages me on FB asking if we could make a phone date for the following week. I told her of course, and I figured she wanted to interview me or give me some work out routines or something for her business. Long story short, we get on the phone and she proceeds to tell me that my post really hit home with her and she needed to talk to me about something, but she wanted to make sure it was ok with me first. Then she told me that she was psychic and had some visions about me and she wanted to give me a reading...over the phone. What?!?!?!? Of course it was ok. Random, but ok. I totally believe in psychic abilities (and ghosts for that matter) and was really intrigued by what she had to say.
So, as the reading progressed I was floored by how much she had "seen" about my life. She knew that something was happening at the end of Sept/beginning of Oct (DH & I are moving to NC and haven't really told anyone yet), she knew some of my darkest feelings that I've never told anyone ever, and the biggest thing she told me that she thought I'd be pregnant again soon...and she thought it might be Sept...then a few days later we messaged each other and she told me she thought I would *find out* I was pregnant in September.
Ok, here is where it gets weird (er). As soon as she said I would "find out" in Sept, I knew right away it was a possibility b/c my period usually comes on the 28th of the month. So, if I were to get pregnant in August, I would miss my period on the 28th, wait a couple of days to see if it came, and if not, I would take a HPT more than likely on Sept 1st. Weird.
Ok, so that all happened in July. Fast forward again...DH and I have been using protection but *only* when it starts to get close to the middle of the month or around when I would start to ovulate...yeah, totally high shcool way of doing things, but let's be real here. We're married, so it's not like it'll be the end of the world if I got knocked up. But, this method has worked the past few months...except this month. And here it gets weirder again. For reasons unexplained, I really have no idea why this kept happening and why after my reading I didn't pay more attention, but I have been like 3 days off on the calendar all month. Then on the 12th (I thought it was the 9th) we went unprotected and I realized too late that it was probably too late to matter b/c if I ovulated within the next 3 days (which was highly likely) then we had a potential pregnancy on our hands...exactly as predicted.
Yeah well, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened because guess what...it is now the what 21st and I had slight spotting last night and slight cramping today...which is exactly how I realized I was probably pregnant the first go around.
Holy ***.
So, now, it is waaaaaaaay too early to take a pregnancy test (I tried the early ones last time and they were a waste of money and gave me nothing but more anxiety) and I have to wait and see if I miss my period before I can find out if I'm actually pregnant or not...and that might not be end up being until September 1st....as predicted again.
Holy *** ballz.
*faints*

"We're married, so it's not like it'll be the end of the world if I got knocked up."
Really, dude? That's not at all judgmental.
You can ovulate at any point in your cycle, it doesn't happen on day 15 for everyone ever. If you're having unprotected sex, there is always a possibility of winding up pregnant. People still seem to be shocked by this, regardless.
Cool bout all the psychic stuff though.
OMG...that's not ME being judgmental at all, and I didn't mean for it to come across that way! It's was meant as "I'm not a teenager any more so I don't have to worry about going to my overly christian parents and baptist preacher grandfather and explain to them why I have disgraced my family and tarnished their reputation by having unprotected premarital sex and having a illegitimate child in the family". Yeah...it's not ME who is judgmental. It's my family, and unfortunately that's EXACTLY how it would've gone down if I had gotten preggers before marriage...and it would've felt like it was the end of the world.
Whoa! Really? That is some random stuff there with the call and psychic thing. I totally believe some people really are psychic in varying degrees. That would be crazy if you became preggers again. Especially when she said you would.
That's pretty crazy. I absolutely believe in Psychic abilities. So neat that she contacted you like that.
The bleeding could definitely be implantation bleeding and, yep, O can take place early/late and anywhere in between if you're not charting and know for sure.
Good luck. Try not to make yourself TOO crazy for the next couple of weeks while you wait.
