Firstly, good news! The doctor said I can go ahead and try to get pregnant this month. =) So this will be the first month TTC without all my allergy medications that were causing lack of cervical mucus. I'm VERY excited about that! =) I started my period yesterday, so will will probably start TTC in about 10 days.

The allergy test (where they inject allergens under your skin) wasn't bad at all! It was just as uncomfortable as the other less-feared scratch test. Basically, the only thing that is uncomfortable is if you actually are allergic to something, then you get a welt and a rash which itches like crazy. This test shows that in addition to ragweed, russian thistle, cockroaches I am also allergic to "grasses" and, yes, "cats." There were two tests for cats and I was only allergic to one of them, and it only BARELY set off their positive alarm (meaning, it was barely red with no welt). So, either I am only slightly allergic to cats, or I am slightly immune to them because I've been living with them.

So, grasses and weeds are the main things I need to watch for. Both of which have a summertime season (meaning that last month was a REALLY bad time to go off medication!).

She also checked my throat and had me say, "Ahhhhh." And when I did that she asked me if I was a singer because my Ahhh sounded really nice. Haha, isn't that funny?

Hooray for this month! Hooray! I want to be pregnant by the time we move into the new house. =)
