Cycle confusion - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Donnalynne · 09-22-2008, 07:13 AM

Hi all,
Well, I normally have a 28 day cycle (regular as clock work) until we decided TTC, then I seem to have gone haywire. I suddenly was 29days the 1st month trying, 30 days the 2nd and this month I think I'm only 22days.

I've been temping this month for the 2nd time and temps are, or seem to be great, they have stayed high now for 13 days. I'm sure I ovulated on day 9 (early I know) according to LH surge, temps and the wee cramps. I had very mild cramps yesterday for a short time and nothing today except for small amount of brownish discharge and when I wiped there was a bit of red/pink on the tissue. I thought I was starting AF so used a tampon, 3 hrs later I checked and it looked like I had drawn a line on the tampon, so no real use for it so far. I HPT on day 21(yesterday) but got BFN.

Does anyone have any Idea what could be going on or have had similar happen. Thanks for Any input anyone might have.
Donna

If you are not preg, then it sounds like stress is throwing your cycles off.
I was only TTC for one month (but will be jumping back in a few weeks bc of miscarriage) but did TONS of research and found that stress can effect alot of things, including your cycles. The month I TTCed, I bought the little strips and did all that stuff, but we ended up BDing 10 days in a row and so testing and junk wasnt even worth it. We were successful by the way, so just BD from day 8 or so to day 16 (change the days depending on your cycle length, just make sure to do it move before ovulation than after)....then you dont have to stress you can just live and then come home at night and "do the do", and BAM get preg!...hehe.
I hope your cycles make sense soon!
