Think I'm out this month...

edited June 2015 in TTC after 35
9dpo huge temp drop, major cramping and stomach pain for the last two days. My cycle is just totally messed up this month. FF has shortened my cycle by 5 days. This month's period was only 2 days of bleeding and 2 days of spotting. I just hope AF arrives soon. I'm in pain. This sucks. :( I'll try and post my chart. I still can't even figure that out.

    Your temp drop doesn't look too bad, it's still above the coverline. I wouldn't give up all hope yet...you never know what can happen!!

    @jilligan14 thank you for the encouragement. My stomach pain and cramping is nonstop.

    How long is your luteal phase normally? Cramping can sometimes be a sign of implantation. I'm just going to keep hoping for you!!!

    My LP is usually 12 to 14 days.
    My entire cycle is typically 28-30 days.
    FF has me expecting AF on cd25, I'm cd22 today.

    Hmmm, not sure why FF is shortening your cycle. I wouldn't worry too much yet since you have a few more days before AF should show up (based on your usual LP). I know it's hard to keep up the hope but I'm rooting for you!!

    I'm guessing FF is giving you a 25 day cycle based on a 12 day LP.  That temp drop isn't too bad @thistle8677.  Fingers crossed you're not out yet! :)

    Your chart looks great to me. I get dips like that sometimes. If i am remembering correctly, i believe we usually have an estrogen surge part way into the luteal phase (pregnant or not pregnant). Estrogen lowers body temp. I would keep up hope for this cycle and not read into the chart one way or the other. 

    Sorry about the cramping and stomach pains. I hope you are feeling better soon.

    Sometimes cramps can be a good thing (implantation, uterus expanding, etc.). Not saying that's what is happening, but you never know. Also, I just checked out your chart again and it looks like you had a nice spike this morning!!!

    @Tomerine we totally posted to one another at the same time...like omg...no but seriously, I'm so sorry and yea I'm like 99.99% that this is AF. Whatever, I'd complain if I thought it would make me feel better, but it won't. I believe this is called apathy. Wah wah.
    Onto next month.
    On the upside I get to hang on this board a little longer, I mean there are worse things.
    I too had a very stressful month. I think that's why my cycle was so off.
    I think I'm just tired, ya know. Just really gonna allow my body to rest right now.

    @jilligan14 I have to add that my temp hasn't dropped below coverline yet, either. I wish I had more insight into your taking progesterone. Is it such a high dose that it will prevent you from getting AF?

    The progesterone is a pretty high dose (obviously high enough to give me ALL of the early pregnancy symptoms) and AF won't come on her own while I'm taking it. Tonight will be my last dose unless I see another line tomorrow morning...
