Flustered

Catherine

So we started trying 5 or 6 months ago. My periods were 27-28 days for a year beforehand. Two months in, I started gaining weight (although I wasn’t keeping track) and suddenly my period started being a day later each month. Last month I was at 33 days into my cycle when my period started. It has been AWFUL because each time I’ve thought, “this time it really IS late.” Nope. So 4 weeks ago while on my period I started weight watchers and have since lost almost 20 lbs, and now my period is 6 days late or I’m 2 days later than last month, but yesterday I took two tests, both negative. I also found out (a day after ovulation) that I had a raisin sized polyp on my cervix. It was promptly removed, but according to Dr. Internet, this highly inhibits one’s ability to get pregnant. I FEEL weird, but I can’t imagine this time worked. I am going to be so sad when my period shows, and yet logically I know it’s probably what will happen. I’m further frustrated by my lack of regularity which makes it harder and harder to predict fertile window!

On top of it all, I checked both the tests from yesterday about 6 hours after I’d taken them, and they both turned majorly positive (Evap. Lines I’m assuming), but it’s just another cruel trick making me hope when I know it’s probably not our month. Ugh. Any thoughts or words of encouragement appreciated. I’m also 35. The worlds magic age of calling you an old lady when it comes to baby makin. (Which my dr said is malarkey).
