The Proof
So, here it is, my third cycle. I ovulated early last week. And if I had a uterus, I would have started bleeding this weekend.
And I did.
So it seems that I have enough of a uterus left for the mini-period.
I'm a little dismayed by it. I know it's not a bad thing on the whole, so I'm just going to suck it up.
I am, however, going to the doctor next week to have it checked into. Each bleeding episode has followed a lot of vigorous exercise. On Saturday I went down to the coffee house on the corner and then walked back up the five flights of stairs. Not to mention the laundry this weekend - three loads of laundry schlepped up and down the two flights of stairs. And yesterday I did a lot of sitting in uncomfortable chairs that can sometimes make my incision site feel like it's burning.
So, I'll visit the doc and see what's up. That's what she's there for.
I've also been having a little sex trouble. I have not problems getting excited or climaxing. But when my hubby and I have intercourse, I feel inordinately tight and hot inside and after sex there's a bit of a burning sensation, like a chafing feeling (not burning/itching). I'm chalking that up to either a pH problem - because he and I have never had unprotected sex in the 13 years we've been together - so my vagina just doesn't know what to do with semen and maybe it's irritating. Or maybe I have a little bit on an infection. Or maybe I'm too dry. I think we'll try some lubricant in the meantime. The doctor will figure it all out next week.
