Okay, so you all know that Jeff and I tried for about 8 months to get pregnant without success. We, well I, decided that I couldn't handle the stress of it all right now, and since we were at the 9 months out from my endo lap date (which they want you pregnant within 9 months after), I decided it was time for a break from the actively peeing-on-sticks, humping-every-fricking-day, taking-make-me-feel-like-crap-hormones, and just went on the "if it happens, it happens" route. I also have completely devoted myself to losing weight before our big family reunion this summer (hence, the ticker below) and having fun for this summer before we give it our all this coming fall/winter to get pregnant. So, when I was four days late this month, I was of course excited at the thought of being pregnant, but somewhat relieved when I got my period this morning. We just have a lot of stuff planned for this Spring/Summer that would not be manageable with a pregnancy. I, of course, would have been thrilled if we had gotten pregnant, but for right now I feel like we just need to kick back and have a good five months of just being us until we start a family.
Oh, and for anyone with bad cramps or other menstrual symptoms...can I just say that Excedrin Menstrual is basically a miracle drug. I actually feel kind of drunk at work, which is fun. Haha! It kicks Midol's ass!!!
