Wait, am I pregnant…???
Written on April 1st and then published (with updates on April 20th)
April 1st
Sooo, I think I’m pregnant.
I have that weird, metallic taste in my mouth which is a CORE MEMORY from pregnancy.
I have been getting headaches for the past couple of days…
And also have been feeling woozy with brain fog.
Which reminds me of good ol’ morning sickness.
Nausea and all that fun stuff.
Also, I pooped like 6 times today… is that normal!??
Like was my body taking its sweet time digesting the past few day’s worth of meals???
But also, like HOW.
Cause we avoided doing the deed during the ovulation/fertile period.
And even then, we used protection.
But in the strange, rare case we ARE preggo…. then that’s INTERESTING.
Also, I’m typing this out on April 1st….
So it can either be a joke now or a non-joke in the future (lol).
Hmmm.. and I think my breasticles are a bit more sore.
Or maybe I’m just being delulu because I just found out a few people were preggo as well.
Maybe my mind is tricking me!
That’s INSANE.
I guess I’ll just have to wait for another 6 days until my period comes.
But yenno what would SUCK.
That I didn’t enter my period details correctly on the app so that would probably miscalculate my ovulation period (lol).
Which I’m quite known to do!
But idk!!!
WE SHALL SEE.
Wait, did I mention HOW EXHAUSTED I FELT THESE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS?!
Like I was SOOOOO TIRED.
I mean, I was able to sleep 8 hours last night so that helped a bit but yeah…. I’m a wee bit tired nowadays.
BUT THE METALLIC TASTE IN MY MOUTH.
THAT IS GIVING ME PTSD.
Meh, ANYWAY.
Wish me good luck!!!!
Imma go shower, tuck myself in, and sleep!
April 20th
Fast forward to April 20th… here are some updates:
My period was supposed to arrive on the 7th but it ended up welcoming itself on April 13th. Fashionably late, I see!
During the waiting period, I took 2 pregnancy tests (one on the 5th and another on the 8th). I even called my sisters on a group Messenger call to join me for the chaos and see the live test results, LOOOL. And it was so lame and embarrassing when it turned out to be negative. HAHHA. Both tests were negative by the way!
I visited my GP on April 10th to double check a late period was normal (Slam encouraged me to go so I went for ease of mind, lol). My GP told me to get blood work done but told me it was normal for breastfeeding mamas to continue to get irregular periods. And the cycles won’t go back to normal unless I stop fully breastfeeding and even then, it still might take a few months to adjust and recalibrate.
I did my blood test on April 13th (which measured some hormones and other thangs) and once I got home, my period say hello to me. LOOL. Blood test results came out on the 15th and I was negative on the pregnancy hormones but positive on high cholesterol (so LOOL). Ya girl needs to stop eating so much butter.
SO YEAH, it’s a little disappointing but hey, we weren’t even trying so… kind of a relief LOL
But yenno what’s so unhinged… thinking we can handle TWO BABIES! I mean, I feel like anything is possible now so yeah… what a strange thought!
Also, like why was my body feeling ALL of the preggo symptoms leading up to my period?? I guess I was just fully feeling that intense luteal phase!
Maybe I had phantom symptoms because so many people were telling me they were preggo.. I just wanted to jump on the band wagon HAHAHHA. Jk, I’ll just continue to embrace my lil gremlin for now.
Thanks for reading til the end! The last few weeks have been a WILD RIDE.
Also, I was super sick for a week but got better and now I’m sick all over again. LAME.
Wishing you a fantastic day!
xoxo, knd.
