I've always known I mix up dates. I have to look at
calendars over and over, trace the pages with my
fingers, mark things on them, to make sure I get
the right date when planning anything. Needless
to say, I tend to write the right event into the wrong
box and miss appointments by a week or a day.
So yet again, my fertility and pregnancy potential
is mixed up because of I am calendrically challenged -
my term for the inability to properly read calendars.
Started my period today. About a week before I thought
I was supposed to. So I went back to my 2004 calendar
and counted 28 days from my miscarriage. There was
another notation that I started my period around the
28th day. So I counted 28 days again and suddenly
noticed that I had mismarked 3 weeks worth of days.
Technically, I was supposed to start my period on
Wednesday.
Also technically, New Years Eve - according to my
incorrect calculations - would have been "prime
time" as G. and I call it. So much for that - we
were way off.
This also means that the upcoming visits from G.
are not in line with the all important prime time.
Which, in the whole scheme of the world, is fine,
right?
I should wait a few more months between miscarriage
and pregnancy, right?
We should wait until G. and I are together in May,
right?
Still, I feel like a big fat failure because of my
calendar miscalculation. Not to mention starting
my period this morning unexpectedly. Not the
favorite event in the life of a woman who wants
to be pregnant.
Bright side: At least I'm still getting my period.
Always a welcome sight for a woman passing
her prime.
