This month I have given myself the green light for trying to conceive. My cycle has been 25 days (like clockwork) except when I was pregnant and one month when I had a 29 day cycle, which was after my first miscarriage. However, THIS month, my cycle hasn't started yet and I am already on day 28!
I am telling myself that this is a good sign. I have been going to acupuncture and taking Chinese herbs prescribed by my acupuncturist, who is licensed in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have read that these herbs can regulate hormones and lengthen cycles. It certainly would be good for me to ovulate near day 14 instead of day 9 like I have been. Still, I am worried. What if this is a sign of declining fertility? I don't have any other perimenopause signs, other than a marked decrease in cervical fluid. Those two things seem like important signs! I guess I will just have to wait and see how this month turns out.
Of course, the other possibility is that I am already pregnant. This would be kind of funny, since I wasn't trying to get pregnant in October. It would have happened if ovulation took place later than what I thought. Although this is possible, it's not very likely. I took a home pregnancy test yesterday afternoon and it was negative. If I don't start my cycle by Sunday I'll take another test and see what happens. I just have to stay positive and TRY really hard to be patient.
Patience is not my forte.
