my stomach isn't better...but i think I'm regulating..

jenmommy · #1 June 25th, 2008, 05:38 AM

so...I didn't chart the boogery cm (it stretched, but I wouldn't call it ewcm)with creamy...I've had it after o with a couple of cycles...my temps are showing I o'd on cd 10...even though I thought I had my AF....but my temps acted wierd...could have been ovulation bleeding..I had no ewcm..or o pains..so this is really iffy...

but I think I can say my Af is due on July 2nd...and that is so much better than not having a clue!

mind you..if I don't get it on the 2nd or 3rd..then I know I really didn't o on cycle day 10..and will reevaluate with the stretchy cm...

oh yeah, this is when my period has been due for a long time...so it is possible the bleeding was o bleeding..and if so..I should get my AF on the 27th...maybe that's why my tummy has been crampy..

sigh, my chart looks promising for a regular cycle, but I'm still not sure...

Why do you have open circles for CD 7-10? You do show a thermal shift so it's looking a lot more like a normal cycle. I hope you're finally regulating. Good luck!

Good luck!!!!!!

well, I don't know what the hell anymore...I give friggin up...

I started to bleed today again...after my stomach bumped and jumped around something fierce yesterday..and I was crampy with gas...now today I had cramps, rectal pressure ....and bam..here I am bleeding again...wth?

I am due to go to the doctor again today...I wasn't going to go, becauase it was originally about my wrists...

I am going to ask for a hormone panel, because it's got to be what is causing ALL of my symptoms...

well, on the good side..i have been having AF...on the 25, 26, 27th of the month...for the past year...so maybe my body remembers when it's supposed to have it?

I still really think your last period was breakthrough bleeding related to ovulation, so this bleed is true menstruation - right on time with a very decent Luteal Phase length if you calculate your thermal shift as starting on day 6.

jenmommy · #7 June 27th, 2008, 01:38 AM

thanks Shawna..it does seem to fit exactly when I was due for my last period...and I did have cramps with the last episode...but I don't remember how bad...I'm having cramps with this one for sure...

it's still fairly light..but the cramps are telling me it's going to get heavy...

so this is MY REAL period..well thank God...

here I come regularity...

Did you go see your doctor? What did he/she say about the pain? The way you described it in AIP was rather concerning. If you can take it, and it is just cramping, try taking some ibuprofen. Usually 2 pills of it knocks my cramps right out the window for most of the day.

jenmommy · #9 June 27th, 2008, 04:50 AM

thank you MamaAnna, yes they were bad, they kept me up...I took 2 x-tra strength tylenol...

and then I rested peacefully...after 4:30 am.

my doc said she was going to refer me to a gastroenterologist.yesterday..she said she knew I hated pills...obviously I don't mind tylenol...and she would have me checked out by them, before dispensing anything to me...

she is great for that.

oh my menstrual cramps...I have to take IB every 3-6 hours usually...the first day is ok, the 2 nd day I get pain all teh way down my back into my legs, the 3rd day is usually smoother..just bleed really heavy...same with 4th and 5th...I go through a whole pack of pads a period usually...

that is why I was like 3 day period say what??? lol..

I am in a much better mood already...

MamaAnna · #10 June 27th, 2008, 05:21 AM

Yeah mine was really weird this cycle too. Usually I go through 70+ tampons, but this cycle it was a lot less heavy and three days of it was just spotting. The cramping was still really nasty though. I hate pills too, but once a month I cave and go for the Motrin!

I'm glad you're getting a referral. Hopefully they can figure out what's going on without much of a hassle.

jenmommy · #11 June 27th, 2008, 05:26 AM

mama anna? was that a mistype? 70+ tampons???? Good gracious woman..where is all that coming from?

yeah, that' s what I"m hoping..not much of a hassle...

MamaAnna · #12 June 27th, 2008, 07:48 AM

No, that wasn't a mistype. I've had it get so heavy that DH wanted to take me to the hospital. I'm always anemic to boot and that of course makes it a lot worse. I usually spend AF's entire visit and a few days after just resting.

jenmommy · #13 June 27th, 2008, 11:46 AM

aww, my cycle puts me to bed too...before AF...I sleep so much...I get a huge energy boost the day before AF...and then the cramps put me back in the bed...

well, my Af is being lazy and goopy...kind of how I feel...I have so much work to do..but i"m so tired...I took my second round of tylenol...

I haven't heard back from the doctor on my bloodtest, obviously if it was positive she would have called me.by now....and I wouldn't be having a full AF...if it was...so I'm not worried about it...
