The rest of my test results arrived from the fertility clinic. Well, almost the rest. Missing, were the results of my pelvic scan. But I think I will let that go. The most important ones to come in were my progesterone tests and D’s sperm analysis.
And now I am smiling big! Because I was right about the progesterone tests. The two that were missing DID show I was ovulating!! Woohooo!! A 43 on Day 23 and a 40 on Day 26!! Yea!
I went prancing around the house dancing and laughing - “My ovaries are working, little eggs are coming down!”. D just watched me and laughed at my silliness!! :)
It was such a relief after being so worried for so many months about whether I was ovulating or not!! Big smiles all around.
I am yet to research up on D’s results but will at some stage just for my own understanding of it all. However, upon mentioning the morphology to King Acupunc, he said “no worries, I have just the thing!”. Well, of course he does. They both always have a herbal solution to every problem. We have seen the results of it time and time again! Ya just gotta love natural medicine! Brilliant!
There was one little hiccup with things yesterday.
My mum came around to spend some time together and help out with a few things. She brought the mail in. Yes, the fertility clinic letter! Woopsiee. It didn’t say fertility clinic, just the hospital and O and G department. I mean I could be G’ing, but not O’ing!!
I wasn’t sure if she saw it, because it was mixed up with the junk mail. But later she was sitting down quietly and gently asked me why I had given up alcohol. Keep in mind, I gave up about 9 months ago, and up until now, she has been perfectly happy with the fact that it was just to cut back!
In a matter of a split second, I debated telling her or not. But I really don’t want to yet. So, I came out with “I haven’t given up completely”. And left it at that. Which is true, because every time I get a period, I still enjoy a glass or two of my favourite red wine. I didn’t actually answer her question. Later, on our way back from Curves, she mentioned my niece and her fiance discussing having children and I wondered again, if she had seen anything.
I think she is a bit confused about us. I think she is very disappointed that we are not rushing on into our engagement party and wedding. I wonder if I should sit her down and talk to her about what we are doing. D has suggested that it may be a good idea. I don’t know.
I still don’t want the questions every time I see her – are we pregnant yet, how is it going. I don’t know how she would feel about us trying to have a baby before we are married. Mostly, I just want to be able to turn up and tell them both that we are pregnant. That’s the dream I have in my head.
I guess I will just have to think on it some more.
Well that is fantastic news!!!!! Yay for you!!!! I didn't tell anyone about my pregnancy until I had the first scan done and could confirm that things were going well. Just my opinion but I"m glad I did. I think it saved my family worrying while waiting until I was far enough along for a scan and out of the danger zone of the first few weeks of pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased for you both. The planets are lining up!!
I'm sure your mother will understand. I told my family that *when* I become pregnant they will not know. I will call them from the hospital and tell them that I had a baby LOL.
ReplyDeleteGreat news...very pleased for you, as I picture you dancing around the room.
Hi there - I'm 46 and became a Mom for the first time at 43. We did not tell anyone we were trying for a baby and with my daughter waited until after the triple screen at 12 weeks to tell our parents and close friends. It's less pressure on you that way I think and less worry for your parents. Hopefully your blog is providing a great outlet for the feelings being on the wanting to be pregnant roller coaster of emotions entails. Good luck - good to know you have such positive news.
