It’s not a secret, Jabi and I are trying
to conceive.
Typically after marriage the most
asked question is, “When are you having kids?”
Honestly, I’m not going to lie about it.
We want children, especially after being a couple for ten years and seeing our
friends and family have children. The human desire of having our own children
has grown in our hearts.
So when people ask, my answer is “We
aren’t doing anything to prevent it. No pressure, when it happens it happens. It’s
all up to God.”
We were married October 19th
and at the end of that month, I had finished my last cycle of birth control
pills. To date I have been off birth control for about four months.
I feel like I have gone through my
withdrawal of birth control having felt, super irritable, emotional, etc. I
have been keeping track of my period with a period tracker app, which predicts
ovulation, my fertile days, and when my next cycle should begin. Surprisingly,
it pretty accurate. Some women can feel when they ovulate, I definitely can,
especially now that I’m not on the pill, I don’t have the effects of the pill
masking any cramps. Anyways, so the tracker is a good aid to have to keep me on
course.
It’s
funny, because when I start to hear myself talking about period trackers and
ovulation, I feel like I’m putting effort into “trying to have a baby.” Then I
feel worried that it will hurt my chances of conceiving because I’m thinking
about it too much. Ugh, then I just feel silly.
Either way,
at the moment, as far as I know, I’m not pregnant, yet.
