**Disclaimer: This post contains what some might consider TMI (too much information) about my menstrual cycle. This blog documents my journey and I am sharing such info because I feel it is important to my story.
As the months went on, I would try to stay positive. J was always so encouraging and positive saying, "It will happen next month, don't worry." But it just didn't get any easier or less disappointing.
Mid-December I had some dark spotting. Very light and it lasted one day. I wasn't due for AF for another week, so of course I began to think it just had to be implantation bleeding. Even though I knew it wouldn't show up yet if I was pregnant, I went out and bought more tests (I had went through my stash at home already). It was a Wednesday. On my way home, I called my best friend to ask her if she experienced implantation bleeding (she has one child and was about 3 months along with her second). She was encouraging and it really had gotten my hopes up. You know, you say you aren't going to get all excited, but you totally do! Ugh!! I had really thought it was the real deal. A week later and $50 worth of tests and AF reared her ugly head. What a bummer!
January brought a new year. I was pumped to try again this month. Again, i was disappointed. This month I ended up having a crazy cycle with AF visiting for 15 days or so. That was a red flag, but I kept saying "I'll call the Dr. tomorrow," and I never did.
February rolled around and I got my AF on time and it was very light. It had stopped for 2 days then I had VERY heavy spotting for 1 day. Well, when I had that spotting after the distinctive end to my period, I called the doctor immediately. That appointment would change my whole life.
