Aligning the Stars is No Easy Feat

A while ago Hubs and I stopped trying to NOT get pregnant.  Not necessarily TRYING but definitely leaving it up to the universe.  Well, after several months (almost a year) of being VERY lackadaisical in the contraception department ( and by lackadaisical I mean…using nothing) we have started to question our ability to actually conceive. 

         It turns out that you can’t actually get pregnant from a guy rubbing his man parts on your leg like they said in elementary school.  In fact, I remember a specific conversation in one class that declared if a man (well, boy at that time) even got his penis out of his pants with his hand and accidently touched your leg with said hand the possibility of making a baby was fairly high. 

         Now, I get that they were trying to scare us…they did--successfully.  We’ve all spent the our twenties using every precaution to avoid this exact scenario, however, they forgot to tell you that when you actually decide you WANT some of your husband’s seeds to make the long journey to the promise land all the stars must align and the gods must send generous helpings of luck your way---apparently accidental pregnacy stops in your 20's.  Unless you've just had a baby and then accidental pregnancy happens all the time.  Welcome to your 30s. 

         Don’t worry, if Hubs and I are ever blessed with a little one (boy or girl) we’re going to properly scare them with the hand/leg pregnancy story. 

        Hubs generously offered to get his bag of seeds checked first.  And it turns out he has plenty.  So, that leaves me.  It’s time to start looking more seriously into this process…. 

        So, a few weeks ago, I went and got blood work at the request of my primary care doctor.  I hadn’t heard anything back so I called earlier this week to find out the results.   I had to leave a message.  When the nurse called me back she left a voicemail: 

Nurse:  Hi this is Nurse.   Doctor has reviewed your blood work.  Please give me call back immediately.  Have me paged.  Thank you.

Me:  (WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)  Hi Nurse, it’s me.  Doctor reviewed my blood work? 

Nurse:  Yeah, everything is fine.  Except one thing but it’s probably nothing.  We’ll recheck it in a couple weeks.

Me:  That’s it?  Ok.  You had me worried.  With the call me immediately and have me paged.

Nurse:  Oh, well, if I don’t leave an urgent message people don’t call back and then their file sits on my desk for days.

Me: Gotcha. 

Gotta love heathcare.  On to the OB!
