What I assumed would be AF isn't quite AF. I think I had an anovulatory cycle and now my uterus can't hold on anymore so it's just shedding the lining. Exactly the same happened earlier this year and I had to see the Dr for some Norethisterone (progesterone) to mature the lining and help it to shed. I used it for two cycles and then things seemed okay for two cycles, they were long-ish but okay and I know I ovulated both times (the sore nipples and the CM leading up to O are always dead giveaways).
It kind of scares me when my ovaries aren't functioning and giving me regular cycles, my head starts to fill with all kinds of panicky, think-the-worst thoughts. Big scary words like cancer or early menopause.
All being well, I hope to have good news by mid-week of a successful job interview so by the end of January I should be able to start TCM/acupuncture again.
EDITED 15/12/10: Maybe things aren't as bad as I thought. It turned out to be a "normal" bleed. Light, painless, virtually clot free which is very unusual for me. Time will tell.
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog... I just read your story this evening. Girl, you have been through a lot! I am praying for you and hoping everything goes well with your next steps. ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs D, and I am so pleased you have got your BFP. IF does change you for life, it makes you appreciate all the simple things so much more.
ReplyDeleteI have been through alot, I agree - it has broken me, changed me and re-molded me in ways I never knew it could. It has been a really tough journey, I just wish I could see where the happy ending is.
Thanks for stopping by, I truly appreciate the time you took to read about all the crappy stuff I've been through xo
