I took a look at the calendar last night and cross referenced it with my pill pack and I have discovered that next Thursday will be my last day on the pill. This means that for the next three months, I will be flushing excess hormones from my body in preparation for trying to conceive.
I am officially a little freaked out by this.
I was talking to
optimystik last night and compared it to standing in line for a massive roller coaster ride. I've been standing in line, getting all excited, mentally preparing myself for the ride, and the line-standing has lasted so long that I almost forgot why I was there. And then, suddenly, I get a nice solid view of the ride entrance and my heart starts pounding, and my palms break out into a cold sweat, and I remember exactly what I'm doing here.
I really really want to go on this ride, but I'm still nervous. And the closer I get to actually getting on the ride, the more nervous and excited I get, and the more a sense of disbelief about it all washes over me.
But I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna get on that ride. I have no idea what it'll really be like, but I'm not chickening out or delaying; I'm gonna keep standing in line, and when my time comes and I'm sitting in the car all strapped in, I'll be even more determined to see it through to the very end.
