Day 32

So when I first stopped using birth control, pretty much exactly one year ago, my first two cycles were 32 days.  The next one dropped to something like 26 days, and I can't remember what cycle 4 was like, but it eventually settled on 28 days, and everything was peachy, other than the fact that I never got pregnant, which was the whole point of stopping birth control.  Also, cramps and heavy bleeding weren't so peachy.

Today is day 32 of this cycle.  Obviously, this cycle isn't going to be normal.  I had surgery on day 5.  I had estrogen patches on my stomach from day 5 through day day 14.  (Speaking of which, I haven't had an allergic reaction on my stomach in several days now.  I think the adhesive is completely gone.  Yay!).  I had a stent in my uterus for 8 days.  I have no idea what my next period is even going to be like, considering I had 10 fibroids removed from inside my uterus.

I just have no idea what I should do if my period continues to not happen.  At what point do I start testing for possible pregnancy?  I mean, I'm assuming it didn't happen this time, considering I spent over 1.5 weeks not having intimate relations with my husband, smack dab in the middle of this cycle (although who the heck knows when the middle of the cycle actually was???  I have no idea!).

In an attempt to cheat fate and force a pregnancy to happen, I finally went out and spent $40 on a new menstrual cup.  I was waiting because if I got pregnant, I wouldn't need it for a good nine months.  Of course, I didn't get pregnant, so I figured I might as well buy it.  Chances are, now that I've spent the money, I'll get pregnant, and if I don't, I'll have a new one to use.  Win-win, right?

Updated: I'll add that I usually have some spotting during the week before my period starts.  Considering I had spotting for a week after my surgery, I'm not sure if there's anything left to spot.  I have had nothing so far.  I don't know what this means.

Update the second: I also spent $33 on the clear blue digital OPK. And I technically spent $32 plus tax on the cup.  So that's $68 that would be wasted if I got pregnant.  Is it weird that I think the more money I waste, the more likely it is I'll get pregnant?
