What to Expect When You're NOT Expecting

We all know the famous book "What to Expect When You're Expecting", but what about when you're NOT expecting. We weren't expecting to have a hard time starting our family or to have 3 miscarriages over a 12 month period. And we definitely weren't expecting...after all the disappointment....to have a smooth 4th pregnancy and welcome a baby boy to our family in 2008 and a 2nd in 2010. But those are a change in expectations that we are finally happy with.

It's 5 p.m.....do you know where your period is?

So to complete this next round of testing I am supposed to get my FSH levels checked on CD 3. So, my nurse explains all that stuff to me about CD 1 being the day full flow starts before 5 p.m. I have been spotting and cramping since Tuesday knowing that AF is on her way and should arrive at any moment. So today at exactly 5 p.m., she decides to show. Ha! So does that make today day 1 or tomorrow day 1? Why can't I just be NORMAL! I had a good laugh to myself at my luck on this one. Seriously...who else does this happen to?!
