Doctor Appointment

So I have an appointment today at 4 pm. I am pretty sure that I am having gallbladder attacks. It has been happening for almost a year now, but recently they have been getting worse and more frequent. The final straw was last week when I had one at work after eating something that wasn't even that bad (half a sandwich and a salad), I cannot deal with that at work!! I am the first person people see when the walk in, and I have to answer the phone constantly. And that is really hard to do with terrible pain and discomfort. After a couple days I thought about canceling my appointment and trying to suck it up but then I had two more at home last week, so nope, I decided to definitely go today. And anyways, I should really probably get this taken care of before I get pregnant. I couldn't imagine being pregnant, dealing with morning sickness and then getting attacks....uhhh that would be awful!! Hopefully we find something out tonight.

From a Man's Perspective

I came across this article about trying to conceive and unexplained infertility today while on The Bump boards. I found it quite interesting...

I am in the two week wait. I thought the little St. Patrick's 
Day ticker seemed fitting.

If I am to get pregnant this cycle.......we would have a Thanksgiving  
Baby. 
Next cycle would be a Christmas Baby. Things are starting to get
interesting.....

Gotta love the suspense.

I could not stop smiling.

So earlier today I'm at my desk working, minding my own business, when one of the Representative's Assistants walks up and puts some work in my inbox for me. We had the quick usual conversation, "Hi Anne, how are you?"
"I'm good *******, how are you?"
"I'm good...see you later!"
"Ok, bye!"
As she is walking away she suddenly proceeds to turn around and come closer to the desk, lean over and whisper: "You know, earlier today I was thinking and I just have a feeling you are pregnant!"
I was like What!!!!! That would be AWESOME!
She's like yeah..I'm not sure why, I just think you are.
Ok, seriously...that just made me amazing happy and hopeful. Talk about making my day!
Third time is the charm right??
Right?

Feeling Good.

So we are on to Cycle #3. And you know what they say, third time is the charm, right?

And I am actually feeling pretty good about this. I am not temping this month. It was driving me crazy, and surprisingly *with a hint of sarcasm there* I am sleeping much, much better. Also, I am trying to live normally for once instead of constantly thinking about the tiniest things that just drive you absolutely mad. Such as...: "Well I'm about to ovulate, what if "this" affects it? Or, oh my gosh what if the egg fertilized and it's about to implant, maybe I shouldn't work out? Or, I'm in my two week wait, HOW DARE I have a sip of soda or coffee or alcohol. Not that I drink any of these much anyways but seriously?! It. Will. Drive. You. Mad.

Not to mention that everyone keeps telling me the same thing...once you stop thinking about it so much and just let it happen, it will happen. So I have hopes for this cycle. If I do get pregnant, we'd be having a Thanksgiving baby. What a great thing to be thankful for! And if not, then that is cool. Then I am done thinking about it for a couple months and if it happens then it happens.
All I know right now is that I am so much less stressed out. I passed my licensing exam on Friday, which is awesome! This means a pay raise and now I don't have to worry about it anymore. In combination with that and not temping, I feel so much better. I am also looking forward to see what happens at the end of the month. I started taking B6 to try to make my luteal phase a little longer. Also I am still drinking green tea (which I did last month as well) and trying out Evening Primrose Oil supplements. So far they seem to be working out good as I am seeing some good CM. Who knows if any of this stuff even works, but it's worth a shot I guess!
