I feel like a teenager. In the worst way.

in Trying to Get Pregnant

My face is so broken out with acne that I literally want to cry when I look in the mirror. What. The. Crap. I literally can't remember the last time my skin was this bad. Thank goodness for foundation and concealer.

I'm just ready for this cycle to be over. I've had daily cramps for the last week almost, plus the acne, queasiness, and being tired all the time. I wish my body would stop messing wity my mind.

So, a question to go along with my whine. How long are your LPs? I'm at 14 days thus far. (First cycle charting so I don't know their "normal" length.) If I'm not KU, I want it to just end so we can move on to the next cycle.

    My LPs vary (I think my body is still normalizing after BCP) but 12 days is about normal for mine. 

    have you tested yet??  14 days may be normal for you but POAS couldn't hurt.

    Amen!

    I'm in the exact same boat with the skin and the cramps and the woozyness.... Bring on CD1!

    I hope you feel better ASAP! (Or get a BFP)

    Ugh I know how you feel.  Ever since going off the BCP I have had horrible breakouts.  Hope your face clears up soon!

     My LP has been 13 days every cycle.

    Have you tried an acne cleanser? Last cycle I had a horrible break out and used Clearisil Oil Free Daily Face Wash and within a day it had cleared it up a great deal. I have tried all sorts of faces washes (haven't really had an acne issue though until last cycle) and they worked, but didn't show a result like the Clearisil does.

    Have you taken a test yet? Well hopefully you get a BFP this cycle or AF rears her ugly head so you can move on. Last cycle was my first cycle charting (first cycle of the pill too) and my LP was 15 days, but we will see what it is this time.

    Good luck to you!

    The last week or so, my face turned into that of a 12 year old boy and I got Burt's Bees Deep Cleansing Cream and Peach and Willowbark Scrub and after 2 showers with it, my face feels like silk. Just a suggestion...

    ME TOO!!! I have it all over my face! Normally I only get in around my hair line, but I am breaking out everywhere!!

    I only have one LP charted right now and FF says it was 16 days long. My chart sucks this month so I have no idea when or if I O'd, but I am sure getting some symptoms that are messing with my head. I have been nauseas the past couple of days, and SOOOO tired, and now today I have getting a migraine! I am so ready for this cycle to be over!

    I got some Dollar Store cheapies and tested this morning. It was negative.

    I hear you, some days I don't want to go out because it's so bad.   I'm only on my 3rd cycle but last month LP was 14 days and the next day AF hit like a storm.  The one before was only 11.  GL

    I am 30 years old and never got out of the teenage acne so I feel your pain. 

    My LP cycle was either 13 or 10 last month depending on what FF goes with, they switched it so many times lol. We shall see what it is this cycle if I am not KU.

    I am hating what being off BCP has been doing to me.  I hope I get back to "normal" soon.  I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    based on my last cycle, my LP is 12 days long.  last cycle was my first temping and this cycle is A LOT different than last cycle.  but i'm assuming my LP will be pretty much the same, since from what i've learned, ones LP does not vary that much.  that being said, your LP may be longer than mine.  12-16 days is the average if i'm remembering correctly.  i'd keep temping for a few days and see what happens.  your chart looks really good right now.  have you tested yet?

     

    ETA: i clearly didn't read all of the responses before i posted.  i'd just wait it out (sucks, i know). but if this is your first cycle temping, you can't be sure how long your LP is yet.  the good news is that you know you have nice long ones!  if AF doesn't show up in the next 3-4 days, i'd test again.  who am i kidding?  i'd test again tomorrow if i were you Wink

    Aw babe!  I'm sorry!  I've had this problem too, so what I've been doing that has helped is when I'm in the shower, I'll scrub my face in little circles with baking soda (it's an exfoliant) and then if I have to use any liquid foundations, I mix it with my face lotion, about half and half.  It's been helping me a lot.  I use proactive face lotion.

    Hope that helps!!
