I feel like a teenager

Jennifer

I'm 33. And historically, pretty fertile. Periods and PMS symptoms have been like clockwork for as long as I can remember. Hubby and I are ttc. I had been on the pill for about a year because we weren't ready to try for the baby yet. I've been on the pill before and with or without it, my cycles and symptoms were the same. This is my 1st cycle off the pill and my period is late for the 1st time since I was 16. I hadnt even been menstruating for a full year yet and when my period was late once I freaked out for a week and then it came. Hasnt happened since then. That's a lot of years of regularity and suddenly there is a change. I took 2 tests (one Wednesday and one today *Friday) and they were negative 😔 My logical brain says I'm getting older and it could be age. Stress never seemed to affect my periods before and I'm not anymore stressed than I normally am. I probably have less to stress over these days as I'm a stay at home wife an my son is vacationing with grandma. So now I'm sitting here anxiously waiting for my period. It's only 2 days late so far but shows no signs of showing up. With my son, I had a feeling I was preggo before my period was even supposed to come. Before I even felt any symptoms. I just knew so I took a test that day and it read positive. Now I feel like I did 17 years ago when my period was late except instead of worrying I AM pregnant, I'm worried I'm not. Realistically, I know I shouldnt expect to get pregnant the 1st month off of BC. But my emotions dont care a thing about logic. I wish I had a magic body scanner to tell me exactly what's happening and what to do... besides just wait of course. I'm not known for being patient either. 😂 I just needed somewhere to put these thoughts. Thanks for reading!
