I had my tubes tied 11 yrs ago -cut /burnt the whole nine yards. I have had semi regular periods for the past few months. I have ALWAYS been early by a couple of days. Recently, they have been a little late and vary in flow. I have also been experiencing "fluttering " for the last two weeks. I have felt "icky", wore out, moody. I recently took a home test. It came back negative. Did I mention I was 41? A baby would be a blessing :) a little afraid of looking like a fool going to the doctor for a blood test. Anyone else been in my shoes?
