Dreaming of a baby shower
My doctor’s appointment is getting really close. I can’t wait for Monday. I need to be ovulating for an embryo transfer so I am hoping really hard that I am good to go for another embryo transfer. You see majority of women in reproductive age ovulate almost every month. However, some minority will have an occasional anovulatory cycle which may be due to lots of stress. I am afraid I was a bit stressed about getting pregnant the last couple of months or so but I hope I was able to correct that by just getting hold of myself.
Anyway, now I am thinking very positively and I am visualizing already that I will be pregnant next month. We will be moving to the Philippines soon and I hope I am pregnant already by that time and hopefully a baby shower would already be in order 
. In fact I am already thinking about what baby items I would want to buy for my baby.If I will have a baby shower, I already have a list of what I would like to receive, stuff like baby bedding ,baby crib bedding ,baby blankets are on the top of my list and of course diapers, baby clothes and baby room decors will also be very nice to receive.
Thinking of Baby names
I know it’s still a bit early for that.
I always love concocting baby names for my future children. I have been thinking about since I was 6 I think. Giving somebody his or her name is one of the most challenging thing a parent has to do. The name the child will get will be with him/her forever so a lot of thought has to be put into it. You cannot just give the child any name, think about how it would affect him, would he be teased or discriminated because of it.
I have two given names myself, my husband has one. He thinks our children should have just one first name as it would be easier for them when the time comes they need to fill up forms. I wanted a unique combination, something other people won’t think of formulating.
My hubby and I have already several names in our mind, we’ll reveal it when we we already have good news !
10 days delayed …
I have never had this before. Well since I have started keeping track of my period at least, which was 2 years ago. Before that I didn’t really knew what cycle I have. The normal cycle is 28 days. But when I started keeping track of mine, I found out I was more of a 30 – 31 days type.
I was anxious to get my period this month since I wanted to have another embryo transfer…but it hasn’t come up to now. It is unnerving! I checked the net for some answers, they say: stress, being overweight,medications could result to delay in menstrual cycle. I don’t think I am overweight nor am I taking any medications except for the folic acid and vitamin. Stress – I don’t know if I am stressed. I mean could waiting for my period be stressful for me?
Part of me is hoping for a small miracle, that I am pregnant but another part of me is saying don’t count on it too much. To end my burden, we decided to get a home pregnancy test to see what the deal is…it was negative.
I finally decided to email my doctor this morning and ask him if it’s normal to be so late. He replied that I shouldn’t worry about it. There could be two reasons, it’s either it’s just late or I am not ovulating.
I hope it’s just late.
