been suffering with a bad sinus infection, so we were only intimate twice
during my fertile period. We should have used a barrier method of birth
control anyway, since I'm scheduled to be SCUBA certified in a few weeks,
and diving while pregnant isn't recommended because there isn't any data on
how the activity affects a fetus.
I went in for my yearly checkup today and my GP is totally cool. He's grown
a hipster beard and said it was good to see me because I wasn't sick. He's
a keeper!
My mom is a bit of a hippy. For a housewarming gift, she bought me a
Polynesian fertility god carved out of some beautiful dark palm wood. I
actually do keep it in the bedroom, but it's more of a dresser decoration
than anything. When I was younger, cleaning beneath my bed, I found a
crystal. I asked her if she'd lost one and she told me to put it back
because sleeping near a quartz helped align your energies or some such
nonsense. I guess I've inherited a bit of her mysticism because I actually
googled what gemstones to wear to increase fertility and subsequently bought
a set of stacking rings with carnelian, rose quartz and moonstone settings.
We're gearing up for our Hawaii vacation. A few months ago, I was sure we'd
be pregnant by now. But part of me is glad that we're not because it's
going to be a looooooong plane ride and who wants to be all barfy in their
first trimester and have to be stuck on a plane for 10 hours.
