Last Friday I thought I might be KU because I started spotting - 5 days before AF was due, and I'm thinking, hmmm... implantation?? But NO! AF showed her ugly face the very next day! And with a vengeance. So not only is my usually extremely regular period (can I throw any more modifiers in there?) more than 2 days early for the first time in YEARS, but I am on day 5 today and still going strong. Normally AF lasts me 7 days on the nose, so I should be starting to taper off by now but I feel like I'm still on day 3.
So I'm lightheaded from all the dang bleeding, I have no idea when it's going to stop, and I'm generally a bit worried about what's going on with me right now. Just goes to show ya, you never really know anything!
I made an appointment with my GYN next week to start moving forward on IF stuff, so at least I'll be able to ask him about the AF fiasco. I already had the pelvic ultrasound, so I'm not really sure what will happen next, maybe blood tests or something? Guess I'll find out in a week...

Never so sad, nor so delusional
This morning I was devastated to hear that the Adam Carolla radio show has been cancelled, and tomorrow will be their last broadcast. Apparently there's going to be a formatting change for the station (I guess there just weren't enough top 40 stations in LA already). But, come on! Didn't they stop to think how this would affect ME? Now what am I going to do on my commute - listen to the local stations? Probably not, those DJs are even worse than the music they play. Sigh...
Okay. So please tell me I'm not the only one who does this - I posted earlier about not TTCing this month and next, and SO sadly the hubs and I have only FDed once this month (stupid YI!). Here's the problem: I continue to cling to the possibility that that one time was enough to knock me up because I may have O'd super early. I didn't use OPKs because I knew we weren't trying, but I had abundant EWCM on CD 9, exactly how it is when it comes along with my O (usually CD 13-17) and we got down the day before that. And I did not get the EWCM around my usual O time. No, I am not having any pg symptoms, and I'm expecting AF next week sometime. But seriously, why do I do this to myself when the chances are so slim? Hopefully AF won't arrive on the later side and I can quit deluding myself soon.
Now I have to go find something to keep my brain occupied for the next 6 days...

At Least it's not Monday
It does feel like Monday though. One of the perks about working at a bank is getting all the cool Federal holidays off - about 10 a year (and floating holidays when they land on a weekend). However, after getting used to extra days off every month towards the end of the old year and beginning of the new year, we have this 2+ month drought in spring that really sucks. And since yesterday was Presidents Day, that drought starts TODAY. Oh I cannot wait until Memorial Day...
Anyway, Valentine's weekend (yes I claim the whole weekend, much like how I claim my birthweek rather than just the one day) was, well, eventful. After getting into a huge fight on Saturday the hubs and I had dinner with the BIL and his wifey at Black Angus. I know, fancy right? And we had a coupon - even fancier! It was fun though, my SIL and I got a bit tipsy and after dinner (while the boys dozed off on the couch watching anime) she showed me the many joys and oddities that comprise Etsy. Including Courtney Love's page which, if you read it, will confirm for you that she is indeed still on drugs.
Sunday and Monday we did our part to boost the economy with the help of our tax return and a few super Presidents Day sales. We actually didn't spend very much, and I think we did pretty well! We ended up with a lot for our money, and now our little love bungalow is looking much more put together. We've been struggling to make our office look nice since we moved in, and I think it is finally starting to work. Monday morning the hubs and I revisited our Saturday fight, as is always recommended in healthy relationships, but at least felt better about everything afterwards this time.
Then more crap!! I discovered last night that I have a YI. This is BS. For about 3 years I'd get them regularly - every month during the summer, and occasionally throughout the year. I went to a few different doctors and tried lots of different remedies, including some weird herbal stuff (ironically I eventually found that Monistat 1 Day followed immediately by Monistat 3 Day works like a charm), and was generally miserable. Then about 2 years ago they miraculously tapered off. Nothing for over 1 and 1/2 years, until now. Ugh. So you can imagine that for me it's not just the YI - it's the fear that the cycle is going to start all over again. I'm going to try really hard not to be paranoid though, and just chalk it up to my lately inflamed sweet tooth and recent ingestion of large quantities of junk food instead.
