08-7-2009 - The 411

My mood while writing this blog: Banana-Bread-Making-Mood

So I thought I’d explain why I’m not totally freaking out about my AF not showing up yet. This kind of cycle is definitely not unheard of for me. In the past my cycles were about 45 days on average (major suckiness there!) but then I hit a 3 month 28 day cycle stint, then my husband basically got laid off from his job and we had to move about 3 hours away from all our friends and family to find a place with work and cheaper rent. Needless to say, this majorly affected my cycles (they react really easily to stress) and I wasn't keeping track of them for a few months, so I don't know what my length should be right now. I was hoping since I thought I O'ed on CD14 that I'd have a regular 28 day cycle, but obviously not. I’m not even positive that I did O then, it just appeared to be EWCM, so I thought it was, haha. Anyways, I know a few of you have been concerned and suggested that I go to the doctor, but that’s not all that feasible right now. Because my husband just changed jobs a few months ago, we don’t have insurance coverage yet. I know, I know, why are we ttc then if we don’t have insurance, right? It’s because we qualify for our state pregnancy insurance (which is way better than what we will get through DH job, lol). It will cover everything, paid for IN FULL!! All my dr/midwife appts, ultrasounds, ER visits if needed, whole delivery & a few days in the hospital (if chose the hospital, haha), postpartum care. And I will qualify for extra food, a breast pump and/or formula and an infant car seat. It’s an amazing program and I feel so blessed that we will qualify for it when we get pregnant. Anywho, that’s the 411. I appreciate all your concerns and please be relieved, that yes, this is normal for me, just a frustrating fact of my life, lol. =)
