ok, this BFP really gets under my skin.

I'm a runner. I run A LOT. I also worry A LOT that my running contributed to my m/c and/or is preventing me from conceiving.

At last years Boston Marathon, they interviewed Kara Goucher (the first American favored to win the women's race in years). I LOVED Kara. She's cute, bubbly, and competitive.

She said in the interview "I'm going to take this next year off and have a baby. That way, it'll be perfect timing to start training for the 2012 olympics."

At the time I thought to myself 'Yeah, good luck planning exactly when you have a baby.' Especially with her running 100+ miles a week, I figured it would be harder than she anticipated.

We all see where this is going. She is pregnant, due in October, and set to start training for 2012 right after she gives birth.

And of course I worry about my running having something to do with my m/c and yet Kara Goucher ran 13 miles at a 6:50 min/mile pace. Ridiculous.

Can someone steal that magic "be able to plan when I get PG AND get to keep it" wand?

Ugh...I want that super power, please.

This is an annoying BFP.......

I wanted to plan my family too but that doesn't seem to be working out so well.

effing universe....

Ugh. It's so not fair that she just gets to decide and it all works out.

It's always that easy-right?? why didn't we get that memo?

Yeah...if only it were that simple. I remember I was terrified to go off the pill in December because I wasn't sure if we were ready financially, emotionally, etc. I was still in grad school...blah blah blah. I wish I could kick the past me in the butt. I thought it would be so easy. It was easy for everyone in my family. Well...the getting pg part turned out to be pretty easy, but I hadn't given much thought to the "what if something happens". Now here we are, I desperately want a baby NOW...which is a stark contrast to December when I was not sure if we were really ready. And now that I really am ready...I have to wait:(

That is really frustrating!! I really hope everything turns out ok, though, and she doesn't have to join us!
