What now?...

...Inconsistent cycle. I'm now spotting before my period. Could it be implantation? Unlikely as it happened last month too and I have all the usual pre-menstrual symptoms. Googled it. Amongst other things, including fibroids, it could be endometriosis or cancer apparently... Great.

Results

Inconclusive...
Possibly a small problem, but maybe not, so one test to be re-done and some further blood tests.
Otherwise, all seems OK :)

What happens next?

So, when we saw the doctor, he said that very often a couple will conceive during the process of having the tests done. Well, that hasn't happened.... So what happens next? We get the initial test results on Friday. Let's hope for "everything looks fine, just go away and keep trying" rather than "no chance in hell" or "there's something we need to work on".

The doc said that it takes a year on average to conceive. So we are officially not failing, just normal.

News headlines today saying that the media projection that women have difficulty conceiving after 35 has led to an increase in abortions in older women because they didn't think they needed to use contraception any more! Many thanks to all the scare mongers.

Fingers crossed for Friday.
