Hi everyone,
Just popping in to say hello and talk into the void. I'm 40 and half-heartedly TTC baby 5. My cycles were usually every 26-28 days, then I had a weird 35 day cycle (no positive test, but maybe a chemical? I don't know) and now they're super short. 21-22 days. This last cycle was 18 (!) and I had weird spotting during ovulation but that may have to do with getting my second COVID vaccine (which I've heard can mess with your cycle, short-term--no fertility issues it seems: my BFF just got pregnant the cycle after her second shot!) or maybe my wonky cycles are the result of getting older. I've had blood tests in the last week, which came back "perfect" and an ultrasound, which also came back great.
I am not sure what I am asking for here, because I don't have a particular question. I guess I am just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation. As I mentioned, we are not full-on trying for another baby, but when it's just not happening either, it makes you wonder. I know we are lucky to have the happy, healthy kids we do have so I won't winge (too much) about anything.
I hope you're all well!
