New and already has a question!

Hello everyone, I am new here and I already have a question. First let me give you a little background. This is the 8th month that I have been charting, and my husband and I started TTC this past May.

My last period was 2 days late (I always start on the 33rd day and this time I started on the 35th day). But it was a normal period for me, and I wasn't pregnant because my temp dropped on the 33rd day. I am now 9 days into the new cycle and everything looks normal with my temp, but I started my period today! Cramps, heavy flow, everything, and only 5 day after the last one. Has this ever happened to anyone else, does any one have any idea what is going on? And how showed I chart this? Should I just keep charting on this cycle, or should I treat this as a period and start a new chart? I am very confused and any feed back would be appreciated. Thanks, Rose

Rose...I noticed that you hadn't received any replies...I can't answer your question but I thought if I threw in a reply it would send your question back to the top of the discussion board. Good Luck and I hope someone is available to help answer you. Good Luck!

Rose:

Here is my 2 cents. I know your cycle can be erratic and irrregular due to being overly active, such as exercise or traveling. If you do not fall into either category then I am at a loss.

As far as the temping and charting, have you thought about keeping the old and starting an new one, chart both and compare? It might provide an insight to what is going on with your body.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

GL to you.
