Onto Cycle Two!

It is amazing how a bit of a stomach bug can have you absolutely convinced that it happened. And mentally I kept telling myself that I wasn’t even late, the hcg test was negative, how could it be morning sickness? But emotions can really get the better of plain sanity. Promising myself not to let go of the sanity aspect this cycle… Not to mention that in the last week the crappola really hit the fan at work and my stress level has skyrocketed. I keep reminding myself that I am glad to not be dealing with the work crap AND the early stages of a pregnancy. Get through the work crap this week and refocus. I got to reading on the internet last cycle (not a good thing) about how our ability to actually get pregnant starts declining rapidly at about my age – 39. The chances of getting pregnant during any one cycle was around 1:3 when we were conceiving Leif and now they are about 1:20. Not to mention the increased risk of miscarriage and chromosomal issues as we go along. Gulp. I loaded up on the OPK’s this time around. Onto cycle #2!
