Pregnancy Bug
Friday, January 05, 2007
A good friend just told me that they are trying to get pregnant. This huge news because she's 36 years old and has been a diabetic since she was four. They were going to adopt because the doctors strongly advised against pregnancy but, they have decided to try anyway. How exciting for her!
Everyone seems to be getting pregnant now. It almost makes me want baby number two, but not quite. Last month's period was 17 days late and for 17 days I thought maybe I was pregnant. When my period finally started I had mixed feelings. I was extremely relieved that I wasn't pregnant but also a little disappointed.
My relief was due to the fact that I'm still on so many medicines that I would not be able to take during pregnancy. I'm still on 6-MP, Asacol and have been trying to taper off the steroids. I'm alternating between 40 and 35mg every other day and it's not going well. I thought my body would stabilize after a few weeks like this but no such luck. It's renewing my health concerns and worries. I can't take these drugs forever and yet my body can't seem to function without them either. I put a call into the doctor's office.

I couldn't imagine being in your situation and I often think of you and what you've been through and are going through now! Kudos to you for being so pro-active in trying to heal yourself.
It's also no wonder you had mixed feelings when your period came. Allow yourself to feel it all! -

I'm glad you called the doctor. I hope they can offer you some good advice.
And as to having another baby...well, I can't even think about that yet!! :-)
