So I took my very first pregnancy test ever today. Not because I really thought I was pregnant but because this is my first month off the pill in many, many years and I am a week late if you're going by the 28-day cycle. I've been on the pill so long that I don't even remember if I used to be regular, but I don't think I was ever a week late before. I'm sure the old body is just sorting itself out hormone-wise but it makes me think I should have gone off the pill a few more months before we wanted to start trying. Who would have thought I would be anxious to have my period? At this point, I just want proof that my body can do it on its own after 10+ years of oral contraceptive assistance. It's very irritating not knowing when it's coming, though. When you're on the pill you take for granted that you are going to know the exact day, and likely a ballpark time of when you're period is coming. What do natural women do? Talk about taking predictability for granted. Waiting is, at the moment, more of a pain than dealing with the period itself.
In other news, since this really isn't a conception blog yet and I have been mentioning my dear naturopath a lot lately, I thought I'd report that I'm off to see him this Friday. I'm feeling really good these days, so this may be my last visit to him for a while. I also want to ask him about fetus-friendly motion sickness remedies. I get air sick and have a few trips planned this year that I would like not to puke on. Anyone have any ideas? I don't know much about what to avoid when pregnant (which I am for the most part extrapolating to cover my pre-pregnancy state, too, to flush the system out and to avoid the risk of carry over) but I know that Gravol is bad. Good thing I've been collecting those little air sick bags.
