Stress causing changes in my cycle. Vent.

in Trying to Get Pregnant

So I have always (and I mean always) been a regular 28 day cycle gal.. (never on BCP a day in my life) I have been charting for 2 years for NFP purposes and always O'd between day 12-17 usually occurring between 13-16.. and Af always starting on day 29.. but here we are now on cycle #5.. and for the first time AF started way early.. day 26 to be exact.. (so L&R you were right about the temp drop) 

But I am really wondering why Af started earlier than ever.. I have had a lot going on the past week.. (moving, getting ready for the holidays, 2 month anniversary of my moms death, our truck broke down, DHs very annoying friend is in town (and has been for 3 weeks) and our cats ran away)

So I am wondering if all this caused AF to come early.. but it is very frustrating because the cramps and early temp drop made me wonder what was going on and I was hoping it was a good thing that was happening.. but.. ohh well..

On to cycle #5..

But, have any of you ladies had an off cycle when things were hectic??

    Remember that nothing can delay/hurry AF, only O date can be affected by stress.  I think it was just a shorter cycle with no explanation.  My two super off cycles were much longer because O was delayed by illness or injury.

    I'm sorry about AF.  

    It is perfectly normal for cycle lengths to fluctuate...even if they never have before. A few days is actually really not much of a fluctuation and certainly nothing to worry about.

    I'm sorry j&lo!! Sounds like things aren't going so perfectly.  But we're starting cycle #5 together!! Hopefully we BOTH get what we're waiting for. Smile

    Yeah.. I was really hoping since we were both to test today that we would be posing on a BFP post.. not a cycle day 1 post.. well best of luck on cycle 5 for both of us!

    I find that stress brings on AF sooner for me, even though biologically that might not make a whole lot of sense... I have never been later b/c of stress, only earlier- like the cycle after my wedding- 24 days!  But they do tend to be infrequent, so I'm not too worried about one off cycle.  HTHBig Smile
