OMG.
Last July, age 43, I gave birth to a son, who was something of a miracle. In the previous few years I'd have four miscarriages (three of them after 10 weeks) and a failed adoption attempt. After that, and 18 months of TTC, we were about to embark on IVF but the period I was waiting for to start the treatment never arrived, as I was pregnant with DS. I had an easy pregnancy, apart from SPD, and he was born via emergency CS.
I'd love another, but realise at my age and with my history, it's unlikely in the extreme. My periods returned in March, when I stopped breastfeeding, and we've just been 'seeing what happens' and not using contraception.
So, what's my point?
Well, I thought AF was arriving a few days ago, with cramps and backache. But she's still not here. And I feel rather strange, as if I'm coming down with something. And this morning my sense of smell is like a bloodhound's. OMG....
