Oh wow, look at all my mail ..... I love it, love it, love it and the compliments, well my head is as big as a peanut with all the flattery. Merci buckets folks.
So, you know I said I was spotting? Well it was more like some brownish pinkish maybe reddish show on the paper and then nothing outside, just inside. ie. very, very slow flow if you could call it that. That was about 3pm (yesterday) so I assumed it would start last night. Nope! Used a tampon last night and tiny bit same sort of colour on it this morning. Then the same throughout today. Not enough for a tampon.
Sound puzzling? It does to me and this is from a woman who does not spot. I've had a few bouts of spotting in this cycle that were really small amounts but noticeable on the paper and probably only because they were accompanied by EWCM. So, I have no idea what is going on.
I phoned my GP today and made an appointment for Monday to have a blood test to see if I'm producing eggs (FSH hormone test). This test is normally carried out around CD2 or 3, so I'm kind of hoping my AF will show properly, otherwise I'm snookered.
He was really sweet and actually told me that it is hospital policy here (UK) not to carry out extensive tests on women TTC until
18 months of trying. I hadn't heard that before. But I don't want extensive tests so that's OK. I just want to know if I am producing eggs and whether or not I am ovulating (that test is done around CD21) so I'm going to have them both done.
He then rang me back later as he had an afterthought and he told me that I shouldn't just take all the onus upon myself, that my husband should perhaps consider a sperm test as he could be the reason we are not having any success. He told me not to carry the burden just because of my age and that I was the woman. What a sweet guy! Not convinced my husband would consider tests though, so I'm not even going to mention it to him at this stage.
I kind of think that if I am not 'functioning' properly, then I should call it a day, unless the solution is to take Clomid or something. I could handle that, but not IVF or anything else as I am realistic about my age and don't want to take that route.
Hope I'm making lots of eggs. I'll be really happy then.
Hope I get AF now, I think that would make me happy until Monday. Mmmph!
PS: I've just realised, I don't have any period pains.
I know how dumb that must sound, but since my 1st two cycles my coverline has been waaaaaaaay low! I'm not sure what that means though... Anyway, I just wanted to send some 
and say sorry the cow is here if she is... Roll on shiny new cycle and some more fun blood tests to play with! (I think we are kind of alike in that - treat our bodies a bit like science experiments... 
) 
I saw the pic's you posted btw -- you are really gorgeous and look so cute and petite! You're gonna make one fine looking baba methinks! 
that'd be so flipping typical of me. Get myself all knowledgeable and geared up for something and then find out I've no chance. I'd laugh myself sick if that was the case ... what else could I do?
