Trying...again.

Well, we started trying again in August. Let's just say we didn't put our full energy behind it. We had fallen off the wagon in terms of getting ready. Last time I had taken pre-natal vitamins for 3 months, Mark was taking his vitamins, I had ordered pre-seed. This time...I mis-mentally calculated when I was ovulating. My period had regularly fallen ever 30 days for almost a year and then about 6 months again it changed to 27-28 days which moved my ovulation timeline. I just kind of let that slip my mind. So when I say it wasn't our full energy it was just one time.

I told myself that one time can do it. That's true, right? Well about a week afterwards I started having trouble with my stomach, like almost a burning sensation. I thought...hmmm...can you get morning sickness this early? Some people indicated that you can have morning sickness as soon as implantation occurs. I convinced myself I was pregnant. When Mark went to tickle me I instinctively protected my stomach. It's like something was telling me I had to be a momma bear and protect myself. Then I started to have cramps. I hoped that they were implantation cramps. They felt an awful lot like period cramps. Online I read that they feel almost exactly the same. I really wanted to take a pregnancy test but I knew that getting my period would be a much cheaper way to find out. Unfortunately everything was just wishful thinking (and a touch of gastritis). I got my period on the exact date I should have. We have one more attempt before we'll take some time off for summer vacation. If it happened I would be due at the end of May, about three weeks before the end of the school year. Not exactly what we want, but beggars can't be choosers and it will happen when it happens and all those platitude, right? Wish us luck :)
