When did my cycle start? Or did it?
| Thu, 10-16-2003 - 6:36pm |
Ok, had a little brown spotting on Monday night, just once when I wiped (TMI? it is going to get worse, lol). Nothing else til Tuesday afternoon, more brown with a little pinky red mucus. I did check CP on Tuesday morning, low and hard with a teesy bit of blood. Wednesday, little more brown stuff on and off, no real blood. Today, nothing. All gone. Ok, now I this was my first cycle off the pill, but man, that was fast. And if that was AF, what day would you consider cycle day 1? I am so confused!!!!!!!!!!
Janie, ttc#4, c2 cd2 or 3??, maybe 4 Who knows!!!

Two options here that come to mind (but could just be b/c you just stopped bcp's)
1. you're pg
2. Tues was the 1st day, and your estrogen may be low, maybe from just coming off bcp's. When estrogen is low you don't build up an endometrial lining and therefore don't really have a heavy/long period :)
Hope it's the 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had something similar last month, but I hope that yours turns out better for you. I had spotting for a couple days and then full on red blood for a couple hours. Then, nothing, then more spotting. It was about 5 days from when I first thought AF had showed, until she showed again, this time with a vengeance. I was so convinced that the first red blood was AF that I moved to the Hosting AF session and started my new chart. However, after it stopped, I posted to the board and a couple women suggested that it wasn't really AF. I think they were right, even though it sure seemed like it, but really really short.
If it was just mucousy with red tinges, I'd say that you are still in the game for this month and that AF had not arrived. Here's hoping that you get something positive in the next week!

Thanks ladies. If AF doesn't show up full force by next Monday I think I will go out and grab a test, just to make sure. Of course, with my luck it would figure I was since my dh and I figured out that June isn't the best month for us next year, lol. But honestly, I don't care, I would be thrilled and I know he would be too. Still thinking it is just the BCPs. Didn't even occur to me that it could be something else. Ok, gonna to go to bed. ER is a repeat!
Janie, ttc#4, either c1 cd 30 or c2 cd2?? lol
