Hi ladies,

We've been TTC since a m/c in September. My cycles have always been fairly regular, over the past year cycle lengths 31-35 days, with LPs 14-15 days. Here's what has happened since September:

- 9/24: D&C
- Cycle 1 started 11/13, O'd on day 17, cycle length 30 days
- Cycle 2 started 12/13, O'd on day 16 with a pretty clear temperature shift

Yesterday (CD 22/DPO 6) my temperature dropped and I had a very VERY small amount of spotting...I'm thinking, great this is an implantation dip, right? Today, CD 23/DPO 7, my temp is still down and now I'm bleeding more. If I did, in fact, O on CD 16, that would mean I had a 6 day LP?! And if this isn't AF, why am I bleeding? I've never had bleeding in the middle of a cycle before so this is very confusing.

I really appreciate any advice or insight you ladies can offer, I am lost...

Oooh, I wish I could tell you something. I know that my cycles were Irregular, with a capital IRR(err) . In any case I had 28 day cycles through 45 day cycles. I am not sure if a D&C changes anything, but maybe your body is just regulating... I also know though that last monthy AF was serious business. Almost like it was doing some serious cleaning out in time for my ! So if either/both are correct, this could be a good thing, if not extremely frustrating and annoying.

I'm not going to be of much help here. I'm kind of going through the same thing.

I've always had 26-27 day predictable cycles. Now, I don't know what's up. I think our bodies are just trying to readjust after going through a PG loss? It's super frustrating...especially when you want to get PG again and then it looks like your LP might not be long enough. I really hope that things normalize for you. Keep me posted. G/L

Hello & Welcome...

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss!

I wish I could be of more help, but I'm confused as well.

Welcome, and im so sorry for your loss

I dont think any of us are going to be much help. Honestly, Id say it is probably AF, and chalk it up to a fluke cycle. There is a small chance that it is implantation bleeding. Id wait 3 more days, and if your'e not full fledged bleeding, id take a test just to ease my mind. Hopefully you're pg, but if not I hope your next cycle is alot less confusing.

I would say wait a couple more days to see if the bleeding increases and if it doesn't take a hpt. I hope it is implantation bleeding.

Thanks for your input everyone!

My gut feeling is that this is AF and who knows if I actually O'd or if I had fluke elevated temps. My bleeding isn't increasing but I'm having some cramps, day 2 is usually my heaviest day of bleeding so we'll see what tomorrow brings. This is just so confusing and frustrating. I've never had an early period in my entire life, which is like sixteen years of periods!! Why must I make things more difficult for myself?!

My periods were odd for the first few months after my m/c. If you don't get a full AF in a few days try testing. I've heard that you can have IB for several weeks!
