Ok I need some help...
| Wed, 10-08-2003 - 4:29pm |
since AF decided to visit me early, only a 26 day cycle she also has just about left also-at only 2 days when normally it is 5-7 days, also no cramps or moodiness this time, completely not like me-I normally get cramps that I can feel in my toes (and I am being serious) so now I am completely messed up when I think I would O, I started charting my cycle today and I am not sure what to look for. I have also starting taking a prenatal vitamin every morning and I am trying to drink lots of water, I am no longer drinking alcohol but I am having a problem with the caffeine thing-I heard that caffeine can decrease your chances of TTC, but I get such caffeine headaches if I don't drink it--anyone got any suggestions? Finally, I am going to see the GYN in a 1 1/2 weeks and was wondering if anyone could give me a list of answers they asked their doctor when they were TTC, (we've been trying for 6-months now)
TIA

Hi Angie. That sounds like a bit of a weird AF for you......was it red blood flow? You say you started temping....what are your temps like right now? I'm just wondering if that really was AF~ could be that you're pg right now!
I think you've got a good plan there- so long as you have a good water intake a bit of caffeine shouldn't hurt things- the water should balance it out.
As far as your Dr goes, you need to take a look at your cycle and think of what you want to know more about. How long your cycle is, when he thinks you may be "o"ing, how long to try before testing, definitely ask about that funny AF.

How strange! I posted with a similar situation yesterday. I also got a very early visit from AF - on CD23 (8 dpo), when AF always comes on CD28. The first day was just brown spotting (which I never do - my first day is always bright red and fairly heavy). I immediately thought implantation bleeding. But then the next day it was full blown AF. This is day 2. Now I'm wondering, pregnant (I know - slim chance) or very early AF (for me anyway). This has been a very strange cycle for me - bad bad headache and very very moody a few days and up until AF. This is not normal for me at all. Not to say I'm not usually moody before AF - but not THAT moody. LOL! I have not been charting, so no temps to watch. I am also very curious about when I will O this month, and when I should start using my OPK. AND if there is any remote possibility I might be pregnant. Sorry I have more questions than answers for you. Just wanted to let you know this is definitely the month for strange cycles!

Tara-I JUST starting temping this cycle, so I have nothing to look at, but for the past two mornings my temps have been 97.2 and 97.6.
I feel fine, still have a queezy stomach a few times a day, haven't had much of an appetite lately (for 2-3 days) and still am tired much of the day, today I had over 11 hours of sleep and went to class of 1 1/2 hours and came back home and ready for a nap. SO I am not sure what the heck is going on with me!!
thanks angie
