Holding my breath!

Well, May has been a LONG month for me personally! Although it may seem as if I am just going with the flow, Deep inside I have this HUNGER and pain to be pregnant. I am going about my life, working, training, running, and doing as I normally do each day, but I feel like some days it's wearing on me. I know it's ONLY BEEN 2 months, but I feel like the longer it takes, the less my chances are. I am going to take a pregnancy test in 3 days if my period doesn't come.  Last month it came 3 days early!

While lying in bed this morning I felt crampy, and ran to the bathroom to see if my period came, but it didn't! I was so happy. ALL DAY, every time I would pee, I had to check. I do act as though I am fine, and some days I am, but other days, I just want to be PAST my first trimester already!

If I do get my period, I am going right to my OBGYN, to discuss Clomid or another medication to help me. I am NOT ready for IVF especially since I just had this surgery!

not this time....

I can't tell you how excited I was to take my pregnancy test this coming Saturday.... That is until I woke up this morning with my period. I am trying to be REALISTIC about this. I JUST had surgery on April 9th. April 8th was my last period, so I can't EXPECT that by some miracle this would happen IMMEDIATELY, although I was praying to God that it would.

I think if I wasn't 40 years old already, I wouldn't be so obsessed with getting pregnant RIGHT AWAY, but the facts are the facts and I am 40 years old and the chances for me to conceive get slimmer and slimmer the more the clock ticks away.

I must have read about a thousand articles on how to increase my chances and while I am NOT tooting my own horn, I pretty much could right my OWN book on how to get more fertile. Having a healthy balanced diet is one that is a MAJOR for me. In the past three months, I have been eating egg whites, the OCCASIONAL Pole Caught tuna and buffalo and my protein powder. As for my complex carbs, I get them from yams, brown rice pasta, Quiona, black rice and steel cut oats. I eat a TON of veggies (hence the name FIT GREEN GODDESS) and fruits, well, I love them all. SO you can put a check next to HEALTHY DIET.
Exercise, yup check that one off too. I workout 6 days a week and if I am energized enough I workout seven. You won't catch me texting or yapping on my iphone while training or doing cardio, as a matter of fact you won't catch me talking - PERIOD! I bust my ass! I consider myself an ATHLETE.
Stress- well who doesn't have stress? My stress is away at boarding school so as long as Tyler is in school, I am stress free and happy. I have an incredible life and I couldn't be happier.

So, you see, I do everything in MY power and what I can with what I have control over- the rest is up to MOTHER NATURE and our Lord. Every Sunday in Church and every morning and every night, my conversations and prayers with God are about Heather, Tyler and that little Angel in heaven who is waiting to come into my belly. I will stay positive and leave it in God's hands....

Until then, Mario & I will do our job! We don't mind THAT part either! :O)
