Breasts: itchy and achey
Head: dizzy
Mood: swingy
Other than that, though, I'm over the mooooon. These symptoms would really suck if I didn't want this, but as it is, I'm totally okay with them even though I do gripe a bit. I'm also tired allllll the time. I woke up 2 hours ago (yes, at 6 PM, I went to bed at 10 AM) and now I'm already tired again.

Oh wow -- I'm back!
Hello again to all my friends, I'm glad you came to play!
I am talking to you for the first time since July, because I got a positive pregnancy test two days ago in the evening. And another the next morning. And another that evening, and another this evening. Okay, yes, I'm obsessive. But I have a whole bunch of tests and I still can't believe it.
The line is staying faint -- I thought it would get darker faster! But as it turns out, the symptoms I had were very interesting, and very strange to me. So I'll record them here, even the embarrassing one, which isn't a physical symptom but a mental/emotional one.
First off, I have never had heartburn without having eaten something spicy or acidic near bedtime. But for the last week, heartburn all day is the norm. As of today, my left breast got the "pregnant" memo and has been hurting like crazy. And I'm tired. So, so tired. How can something the size of a poppyseed cause so much in the way of changes in my body?
The other symptom -- the embarrassing one -- is that I had this very strange and powerful desire to have sex. But not with just anyone. I wanted to have sex with strangers. I didn't (of course), but man, did it ever sound good. I wonder what happened hormonally to generate that!
So, I'm due in mid-September if all goes well. However, given the fact that my mother gave birth a full month late, it could be as late as mid-October!
The other interesting thing to me is that I wasn't ovulating previously, so I went on Femara, 5 mg, cycle days 3-7, for 2 full cycles. It didn't work. It was the month when I went off femara that I finally got knocked up.
So, we're off on the bumpy ride -- and my housemate, Josy, is now six months pregnant! Six months! Time flies!
