7 Quick Takes Friday

** 1 **

Tonight Atticus and I are going to see the new Disney movie: The Princess and the Frog! I am really excited, and Atticus…loves me very much. 🙂

I know some people are down on Disney princesses, but I love them. When I was a little girl, after my mom died, I thought that being mother-less made me like the Disney princesses. Just think about it; I think all but one or two of them had mothers who died when they were young.

Cinderella

Ariel

Belle

Jasmine

Pocahontas (?)

I was in good company. Any bets as to whether or not the newest princess will also be a mother-less daughter?

I’d like to warn anyone who is considering asking God to increase their trust in Him, don’t do it unless you are prepared to be put into a situation over which you have absolutely no control. Just be forewarned.

Here’s why: As I blogged about recently, Atticus and I are trying to conceive. Right now, I am on luteal phase day 18, when my LP is never more than 11-12 days long. It’s never been longer than that the whole time I’ve been charting (except, obviously for the pregnancy).

This should be cause for celebration, right? Nope. Because, you see, I have now taken 4 (count’em) negative pregnancy tests. Any my temps, while still slightly elevated, have dipped from the shift at the beginning of LP.

I have some pregnancy symptoms, but no positive test. My doctor has told me to wait a week, and come in for a blood test if I haven’t had my period or a positive test. WHAT? I’ve already waited one week, I’m supposed to wait another???

Anyway, I am completely unsure what to think. I’m not going to get my hopes up, when it’s entirely possible that rather than being pregnant, I’ve got some sort of hormonal imbalance.

If I am pregnant, then all of this anxiety and waiting will be more than worth it. If I am not pregnant, well, thanks God…it’s been a wild ride. But I think I’ll sit the next one out.

I actually don’t have anything else to share this Friday, other than, if you know of a story of some woman who didn’t have a positive test until after a week after her period (or later), and went on to have a healthy pregnancy, now would be the time to pull that ace out of the hole and share it with me.

Have a great weekend!
