This month is the first month that we actively started Trying to Conceive.
Just let that sink in. Marinate in it. Until your fingers get pruny.... was that gross?
Anyone who knows me, knows what a Big. Fucking. Deal. this is.
The first like, 30 years, of my life were spent swearing up and down that I NEVER wanted children.
I don't know what happened! I used to HATE when family or friends told me that I would change my mind. Hell no I won't change my mind, I thought.
No one in my family really reads this, so it will still be a huge surprise when it happens.
But one day, I woke up and thought babies had cute feet. And it spiraled out of control from there.
No Lie. It was like a rocket ship launching into space. And in March of this year, my husband and I decided it was time to start planning.
Well, I started planning. He just wanted to get right down to trying. :)
In June, I went off my birth control. There were some horrors with that, for sure. I blogged about my boobs.
Prepare yourself....
I'm doing it again.
Boobs.
So, I tracked my ovulation down to a window of time and we got busy. hehe.
I am now 5 or 6 days post ovulation. (6dpo, that's the lingo that I am learning here on the interwebs because apparently no one can just type out the words for ANYTHING. TTY, CM, EWCM, BBT, BFN/BFP.. they all have meanings that I have to look up because mamma to be's just assume newb's know what the F they are talking about. We don't.)
Anyway... I am 6 days post ovulation and weird things are happening.
My nipples are puffy.
Like weird, soft, puffy nipples. There's no other way I can describe it.
So I googled it. Not to see examples, but googled it as a potential pregnancy symptom.
DON'T DO IT!!!
Apparently there is quite a bit of nipple related porn, like fetishes about puffy nipples.
I was shocked and mildly curious over what kind of people have a specific nipple fetish, but I digress..
I quickly changed course and made sure to include the word pregnancy into my web search.
This is still dangerous, but for different reasons.
Everything for the first few weeks that you are wondering if you could be pregnant is either a symptom of pregnancy or PMS. Cramping, burning ovary sensation, moodiness, puffy nips...
Awesome.
I'm either preggers or expecting my period. No shit. This is truth for every woman that's sexually active and able.
So I just have to wait until my period/missed period and obsess over my weirdo nipples. YAY~
