I am freaking out - I don't know what is going on - I'll preface by saying that for the 14 years where I got a period every month there was nothing weird - I got my period, it lasted 5-6 days....it ended and another 23-24 days later it would show up again...NO bleeding, spotting, pain or anything in between. I would cramp a little the day of my period, maybe a backache the day before and that's it....
my spontaneous O cycle after bcp in April was also totally normal....
this month I am on a break from the meds except met...i wanted to see if I would ovulate on my own coming off a femara bfn cycle.....AF seemed to end Wed (CD5)....THursday I had lots of EWCM but neg opk. and my abdomen was very sore (almost like when I ovulated after Ovidrel)..on Thursday night after BD I had a little spotting...Friday I had some EWCM, neg opk, and my stomach was still sore but no spotting....Today (CD8) I am not as sore but I woke up and had a lot of creamy CM with a little dark blood mixed in....later in the day I had creamy CM stained pink....
On my last femara cycle, I spotted all the way until cd12 (when I finally had a mature follie)...I figured that was because the femara lowers estrogen...but that shouldn't be happening this cycle cause I'm not taking anything....
any ideas on what this is? could I have O'd really early? is the blood just leftover AF? or do I need to worry about something like endo or a uterine issue?
I have a u/s on cd11 - I am just so frustrated with this....
Re: my body is acting weird....any suggestions?
i'm sorry that your cycle is so frustrating right now. i really don't know what to make of it, i just wanted to wish you luck.
Tara & Dave - TTC since September 2006
PCOS - dx 1999 (amenorrhea) | freakishly long fallopian tubes
Hypoglycemic | thyroid issues | severely anemic
Multiple Clomid cycles of 50, 100, 150 - absolutely no response
Follistim 50/100 | Follistim 75/125 | Follistim 100/150 IUI - all BFNs
Converted IVF - BFP - m/c | FET - BFN | IVF #2 = BFN
IVF #3
I was so hoping to just O on my own this cycle...
I feel like my RE thinks I'm a nut job.....I mean I claim to have had normal cycles, regular AF, no mid-cycle spotting, and a nice thick lining (as far as I could tell from my AF) - of course, I have no documentation of this because I wasn't TTC at the time....
now that I am ttc, my lining is off even though I produce follies on the meds, my cycles are irregular, I have mid-cycle spotting, "ovulation pain" at random times and even though I got a bfp before on a clomid cycle, I can't seem to conceive again and they don't seem to really have a clue as to why....
i was really hoping to show them what a "normal" cycle is like for me by trying this unmedicated monitored cycle....
AND I have GAINED 4 pounds this week even though I have not altered my diet and got back into exercising....
i want a new body....
thanks - good to know....I'll keep an I out for the early O's....i just wish it could do SOMETHING consistently
