The Good News, the Bad News (More Acupuncture Stories)

Posted on 08:35 by Unknown
Since everyone who takes the time to read and/or comment here is honoring me with their precious time, I've decided that in turn, anyone who wants to come along for this journey will get nothing but the straight stuff from me. No coy, hey, I'm four-months pregnant! announcements.

The good news and bad news all at once: I was pregnant.

If you've followed the other acupuncture/TCM posts, you know we weren't supposed to "try" this month, so it's actually an interesting sign that we did successfully conceive even though (ironically) this month we tried NOT to (reverse psychology anyone?)

It's still kind of sad when this happens, even when I KNOW I have the sludgy womb problem--what embryo wants to grow in a messy house? I keep imagining it being like trying to find some floor space in my messy office covered with books and papers and cookie crumbs (gluten free, though). I'm supposed to take the whole next month or two "off" and see what happens next.

p.s. I brought a bunch of cheapo early pregnancy tests from http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com . This might just be my experience, but almost 2 weeks past my period it was still saying I wasn't pregnant, then when I overcame my cheapness and bought a First Response drugstore test the same day, it went positive in less than 10 seconds. Oops! Just an FYI
