My Journey
Allergies
Tuesday, May. 27, 2003 @ 10:59 p.m.

I had a huge temperature drop today, and I didn't think it was accurate. I tried again, and it was the same. It has me wondering whether it is implantation. The book TCOYF says that a temperature dip can happen if you are pregnant. Of course it can happen and mean nothing too.

I could start spotting any day now. I kind of want it to happen tomorrow because my allergies starting bothering me today after I was outside planting flowers. I had an annoying sneezing attack. Pollen and I do not get along. I have some prescription medicine for this, but I don't know if I should take it if I might be pregnant (even though it's only a "3% chance"). If I started spotting I wouldn't feel guilty about taking the medicine.

I talked to my sister last night. She is a teacher in California. She said that a family at her school just adopted a baby from China. They weren't sure if they would be able to pick her up because of SARS, but thankfully they were still able.

This couple has one boy in 3rd grade. They hadn't been able to have another child and decided to adopt. After this decision she got pregnant! She is now five months pregnant with a boy. The adopted baby is nine months old. They always say that you have the same chance of getting pregnant before you adopt as you do after you adopt, but stories like that make me wonder.
