What up with that.....What up with that?
{This video has nothing to do with what I'm writing about.....it's just hilarious}
I've concluded, since I've been asked on several occasions, that I need to elaborate on my "sleepy ovaries" {What up with that?} issue.......so here goes.
DISCLAIMER: If you are MALE and happen to read my blog I am going to use the word PERIOD several times during this entry. If the word PERIOD disturbs you I suggest you sit this one out.
Here goes.....If you haven't put the pieces together yet Jody and I are trying to get pregnant. There I said it.....now everyone is on the same page. I got off the pill in November and had, what my doctor calls, a false period. This period was simply my body saying "What the What??...this isn't how things go down around here". Typically a false period is followed shortly by the real deal but I got nothing. At any other time my current situation would be favorable but since you can't get pregnant without having a period it poses a problem. This issue prompted me to see my doctor and receive the "sleepy ovary" diagnosis. It seems that since my body was so use to having a medication dictate my cycle that it hasn't quite figured out that it now needs to perform on it's own. I came to an agreement with my doctor that if my body doesn't corporate by the end of March that we will move to plan B. This plan involves me taking a medication that will kick my cycle into gear. So that's it......now I just wait {ugg....I'm so impatient!}
With all joking aside......please keep us in your prayers. It's a huge decision to start a family and when you make that decision you open yourself up to a host of emotions. I know in God's perfect timing we will be parents......until then.....I will continue giving pep talks to my ovaries!
With Love,
John and I are in the same boat, the I-want-a-baby boat. I will be praying for you, praying for others who want kids as well has helped me feel less impatient. Here is to baby-making!
ReplyDeleteI am going through the same feelings! We have been talking and praying about starting a family ourselves! I have resigned myself to the notion that God's timing is the right timing whether I like it or not! You will be in my prayers! :)
