AF should have arrived on tuesday. That was the latest date that I could estimate from my screwed up past two cycles. One being 28 days(the norm) the next 32 days. I actually figured that she should have shown her face anywhere between thursday of last week to tuesday of this one. I have tested with the HPT's and they have come back negative. Last night at work, there was a little blood in the cm. Not much at all. Now, there is nothing. I have a couple of questions. 1) Do most people have cm right before AF arrives? It's still there, and it's still that stretchy type. 2)If AF is arriving, how should I figure the lenghth of next cycle? I usually had a 28 day cycle. Last month was 32 days. So far this is 35 days and counting. 3)It may sound funny, but the day before yesterday I read a post on how high or low a cervix should be. I found myself looking for mine, and on wedensday I couldn't find mine. Last night I tried again, and this time I think I found it. Does that mean anything? If anyone has any info for me, or had a similar situation please let me know. I figure if AF doesn't arrive by monday, I'll make an appointment with my doc to have a blood test done. The thing is, I've tried several different hpt's during the past week and a half, and they all came up negative. I don't think that all of them would have come up negative if I was pregnant.

HI there,

Have you just come off bcp's? Your story sounds a lot like mine. I stopped bcp's in early June and had two normal 26/27 day cycles. This cycle I am on Day 62 (ugh) and my doc gave me Provera to induce AF. She should be here anytime now.

HTH...good luck!

I don't know if you are charting, but you can easily O later in some cycles, and that would cause your AF to show later too. If thats the case, the spotting could indicate the early stages of AF. On the other hand, the spotting could be implantation bleeding and you may actually be PG, but are just barely PG, so the HPTs aren't positive yet. All you can really do is keep testing every few days and see if AF shows. If nothing in another week, I would call the doc. Like the last poster said, it could be a weird cycle due to BCP or other factors.

AF arrived this afternoon. At least she's here and I can start to try again this month. I was hoping so much to be pregnant this time. Last night at work another of my friends found out that his girlfriend was pregnant. Although I am happy for him, I'm finding it to be depressing when someone tells me the "good news". Oh well. I'm going to try charting again this month. I was charting, but my temps never seem to change at all. So I stopped for a while. I was on the depo shot. I had my last shot in June of last year. In November, I started to resume my cycles. They were actually pretty normal. In March I had an early m/c. I guess that when I found out that I had one, I felt that it should have been easy for me to get pregnant again. It was really easy the first time around.

(((hugs))) I hate it when the old hag shows up... and just in time for the weekend no less.

It sounds like a good idea to start charting again. If you're not seeing any real temperature patterns, it's possible that you are either 1) having anovulatory cycles, and just anovulatory bleeding with AF, or 2) you have low progesterone levels post-O, which won't keep your temps up very high... this could maybe be an explanation for the m/c?

Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor, and try to keep your spirits up! (I know, easier said than done today).

Good luck to you!
