Sadly, it looks as if my next cycle is likely starting today, at 14dpo. I had a bit of cramping and darkish spotting yesterday and today some more, with an increased amount of spotting (still dark). The cramping has stopped at this point, and I felt a strong "twinge" cramp earlier today in the uterine area.
Do you think there is a chance I might be experiencing late implantation? Did anyone else who has experienced pregnancy have spotting around the very end of their cycle?
I'm not sure what my next step will be, if this cycle is over. I guess I will do as I was thinking and get back on track for surgery to have my large fibroid removed. Unless I get a very strong sign that I should go forward with IVF with my own eggs, I am not going to pursue that due to my chances of success and financial limitations.
I do see possible donor eggs or embryos in my future or possibly adoption... more on these possibilities later. If any of you that have been reading this blog for a while would like to give me some sisterly advice on what you think would be the best choice for me, I would love to hear from you now or later. I am just beginning research and mainly know about these options through the stories of others.

Twinge City
Feel free to skip this part if you're not into ttc symptom watching... So, I felt what seemed like uterine "twinges" today, 8 or 9 dpo, in the lower left side of my abdomen. :-) This point "twinged," or sort of pulsed, three or four times in about a minute. Who knows what's going on in there, but I do feel happy to have felt it.
In addition, my temperature also took a second jump up today from 98.2 to 98.5. And, lastly, when I inserted my progesterone this morning, I noticed my cervix was decidedly lower. I never noticed this before. I'm thinking it's a "neutral" sign (and that's what Fertil.ity Friend tells me). Any thoughts on this state of events?
No huge plans this weekend, but my housemate is around and I'm spending time with a friend tomorrow at her moving sale. I normally go to dance on Sundays, then out to eat. Because I was specifically told "no vigorous exercise," I chose not to go last week and will miss this week, as well. Missing last week reminded me what a big part of my weekend my dancing is! I would rather play it safe, though.
Speaking of my housemate, I wanted to share with you all that I think I cursed him by talking about his relationship in glowing terms on this blog recently. I held him up as an example of glorious companionship, and then, this week, they break up! I knew they were still somewhat in limbo about moving forward to the next step, which logically would have been engagement, but I didn't expect a break up!
Right before he took this action, I asked him how he would feel if they broke up, and he said both sad and relieved. I guess that was an indicator. Plus, he started talking about how he didn't feel a strong desire to move forward; that he really wanted to feel excited and compelled to move to the next level. I understand what he's saying... but now he gets to rejoin me back in "The Land of Singledom," which equals, "The Land of No Sex or Intimate Companionship." lol Anyway, just thought I'd share the weird timing, immediately following my sunny blog post about the two of them.
