Well as many of you from a previous post... We lost my step father last week to a grade 4 brain tumour... We had his funeral on Thursday... Prior to this AF was like absolute clockwork, which I was so happy about..... Anyway rewind the clock back 6 years ago... My hubby and I had just gotten married... so blissfully thinking about trying for a baby.... Then my step mother passes away suddenly... missed AF for a couple of months.. didnt worry too much... Then 9 weeks after she passed away... my father who was in remission with Leukemia passed away also... This hit me very hard... My body then went into shutdown big time.. I didnt get AF for about 3 years... then came back gradually and very intermittently ... Therefore, there we were thinking we were never going to have a baby and 5 years later to our joy, Gabe arrived...

Anyway, back to this week... I have been getting AF like clockwork prior to this week...I was due the day after the funeral...sigh.. no AF... Here I am 3 days later and nothing... I know I am probably jumping the gun a bit.. but its alll seeming very familiar and although we were 'pretty sure' we were done.. I dont think we wanted to be too greedy by 'planning ' another one.. we were sort of thinking 'possibly' one more... So this weeks lack of AF is really worrying me.. which is just stupid if its stress related I know... And those of you thinking I could be pg... Nope.. I tested today.. not first morning admittedly but negative...

Anyway needed to vent a bit.. and hope like anything that my body isnt going into 'oh-heres-another-death..lets shut down ' mode....

Thanks for listening..

Take extra good care of yourself, try to relax and do whatever helps you relieve stress. Hopefully she will come back so you have the option of TTC when you are ready.
