By the time 2015 rolled around, it had been over two months since I had an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist, because mine was leaving his practice. I had been thinking about switching anyway, so I took it as a sign and made myself an appointment with a new doctor in mid January. A couple weeks before that appointment was scheduled to occur, a host of unusual symptoms started popping up. When they didn't go away, I decided to take a pregnancy test...
... and it was positive!
I suppose it's a pleasantly fitting way to come back from posts on infertility. Of course, I didn't believe it until I'd taken about five more tests, and even then I wasn't sure until the dating ultrasound. We're now out of the first trimester, and even though nothing in pregnancy is ever guaranteed, we've been blessed to have this experience so far, especially because it's one we weren't entirely sure we would get. My main pregnancy symptom has been fatigue, which has made it hard to blog as much as I would like, but I do intend to keep it up. Posts might not be on a set schedule and could get sporadic again (especially later in the year, because Little Nerd is due September 12!).
There will almost certainly be a few posts on dealing with rapid body and life changes along with other unrelated nerdy posts, so I hope readers will check back occasionally for updates!
