the condoms as soon as possible, but alas my period is three days late and
no signs of showing up anytime soon. The book "What to Expect Before You're
Expecting" advises going off of the pill and using a barrier method for
three months before you actually want to start trying to conceive so that
your cycles have time to normalize, but my midwife said one month. After
reading some chat boards, I should have listened to the book. There are
reports of women not getting their period for months after going off of the
pill. Now, I'm assuming that these are women who have been on the pill
long-term, and I've only been on it for about two years, so I thought I'd
have more luck. I guess not. I'm trying not to get too stressed about it,
but I really hope it comes soon. I'm all stocked up on pregnancy tests and
ready to go. I guess to be double sure, I really should take a pregnancy
test, but there's really no way that is even possible and I have no other
symptoms AND I drank a few glasses of wine just the other night as kind of a
"farewell" to alcohol. I've been enjoying my coffee breaks at work, too,
knowing that after my period ends (if it ever comes, grr) I'll be bidding
farewell to that afternoon ritual as well. And I keep saying I will start
taking walks in the mornings before work to get some exercise and stay
limber, but I haven't started doing it yet.
I joked about an Angry Birds themed nursery with my husband last night, and
he wasn't amused. He has been thinking about a coral reef room. We'll see
what we come up with.
