Hi everyone! so my Dr. appt. was Sat & it went well.  I love my G.P. & he thinks that I'm probably pregnant! We did a urine test & it was negative but he thinks since I'm due to start my period on wed it was too early so he also sent for blood test.  He does think pregnancy is why I'm so ridiculously tired etc. But he said if it's negative depending on the levels of HCG (pregnancy hormone) he will either keep testing for pregnancy or I will have to come in to see what else it could be.  He did have my blood tested for anemia, thyroid problems & Vitamin D problems.  But again he didn't think any of those would be positive because I just got my thyroid & anemia tests done 9 months ago.  And the vitamin D deficiency he said doesn't usually just come out of no where he said it's usually like I've been tired for 10 years & they find out its low vitamin D! So also unlikely!
However, I'm doubting a little because last night I had some spotting!  But Mom (MIL) said that that's actually common in pregnancy.  I don't know if the spotting would be different if pregnant or if its like 'normal' period spotting!?! I'm tyring not to get my hopes up like everyoe says, but its just WAAAAY too late for that!!! I get my hopes up every month!  Needles to say if I start my period next week I will be pretty upset!
I know everyone keeps telling me to relax but its definitely easier said than done!  First of all I"m surrounded by baby/mom stuff all day.  T.v. always has something in there about babies, pregnancy being a mom etc. even if its just the sappy "housewife" commercials they love to run during daytime television! Then all my friends all have children or are in fact pregnant!!! So whenever I talk to them, that's what they talk about or I can actually hear them in the background! And tonight I'm watching my friends baby Elizabeth (9 months old now, & way easier!) even though it was only about an hour & now she's sleeping. It was still kind of hard because I got to bathe her, and feed her & put her jammies on & I just am so ready to be doing that myself at home.  I feel like I have so much love to give!!!! Draco is being smothered with it! Anyway, this is why its easier to say relax than it is for me to actually do so.  It's not like I'm stressed about it but it's ALWAYS on my mind or not far behind!
Also, my headaches have "returned" I started getting one last night & went to bed.  Then I had a pretty bad one for a good part of the later afternoon.  But I just took a few pills & laid around & now I'm feeling much better; other than being tired still!
Thanks for caring!
Much love & wishing you a painfree day!
