Hey Bella,
Saw your post about concerns with your uterine lining. I wanted to share my experiences/worries about that. I have VERY short periods, and while it''s not a heaviness issue, I was concerned about clumpiness. Well, my very last test back in the fall was to take a biopsy of my uterine lining. The Dr. didn''t have concern, but she knew I was worried about it and other than a few other (too invasive for us at the time to pursue) tests, it was the last thing to look at for any potential issues.
Turns out all was fine. The Dr. said that bad cramps doesn''t mean your lining is too thick and clumps when shedding the lining is not a bad thing either, and is not indicative of clumpiness prior to the break down of the lining. She also said that a thicker/normal lining is BETTER than a thinner/normal lining for implantation.
The first thought I had when we first noticed it was taking a while to conceive was that my periods are so short, and sometimes (but not much anymore) very painful. Anyway, just wanted to let you know it''s not always (or even very often) indicative of problems with the lining.
She said that most of the time when you have super painfu periods, it''s due to your uterus contracting strongly, which can make delivery easier because the muscle is stronger??? Never heard that before, but good to know there is something positive to look for out of it, right?

Also wanted to post some fabulous news----- a friend of ours at church has been trying for baby number two for over two years, and on Sunday, they announced they are due with a baby in December. Their little girl will be 4 years old on Jan. 1. Yay!!!
This stuff happens in clusters...
