I have my little box of medications and my notebook with questions to check on (or double-check, in some instances, because... well... I'm just like that!) at my appt tomorrow morning. I'm excited!
I've been kind of emotional and moody today - I think the change in hormones post-birth control may be doing that.
I found out today there is a whole bunch of TTC (trying to conceive) terminology I haven't been familiar with - like "PUPO" (pregnant until proven otherwise) - I feel so schooled! ;) At least I knew about "baby dust" - as in "sending baby dust your way" - which means hope you conceive soon. :)
Here is a list of terms in case you are curious (just found a pretty good list at www.ovulation-calculator.com/preconception/ttc-terminology.htm) :
