I know that I am having a full fledge period (bright and dark red): Update: put in a softcup around 6:30am. By 9:45 am, cup was pretty full. Now wearing super tampon and pad. Symptoms have returned: nausea (not far from vomiting), aching throbbing breast, dizziness, extreme fatigue.

1. June 29-July 3 (AF)
2. July 8 (+OPK )
3. July 9 (Bedded July 9am-noon)
4. July 10, 11, 12 (inseminated)
5. July 16 (First, great deal of CM, then 3rd wipe (Implantation bleeding) light pink blood. Started around 9am, stopped around 8-9pm)
6. July 17 (AF starts around noon. Stops about 1:00 pm. Starts again around 5:00 pm nonstop. Had to use protection. All pregnancy symptoms disappeared.)
7. July 18 (Bleeding heavily as normal cycle)
8. July 24 (AF starts. Regular to the minute, 27 days)

I voted stay the course but not sure I won't change my answer on that. So you are saying that you are having a 20 day cycle? Correct? AF started on July 17?

Can you refresh my memory? Are you coming off of any birth control? Are your cycles normally regular? It looks like you are taking metformin. Do you have PCOS?

Never taken birth control pills. Was diagnosed with PCOS in the early 1990s, and have been taken 2000mg daily every day.

For 15+ years, I have been 27-days to the hour. No surprises.

AF cycle was normal June 29-July 3. I tested OPK as a chance on July 7, test line was pink, but not big like the control line. On July 8, around 2:00 pm, both lines were identical.

Bedded next morning at exactly 9:00 to noon. Insiminated on the 10th, 11, and 12. FF first showed O day on the 10th, but changed it later to the 9th.

I have updated my info. I think I will call my doc on Monday, because this is not normal.

There were a couple of occassions last night that I was about to call the ambulance. Tampons (super) and pads went from 1 hour to every 30 minutes. I think that caused all the dizziness and nausea.

I went to bed early got up to change twice. Before church at 9am, it looked like it was still flowing heavily, but not as it has been the last two days. This tampon has been in 3 hours, so not bad.

I'm hoping it will be all over by Tuesday and I will talk to my doc about it on Wednesday.

Decided to count this “whatever” as a cycle, although it has little similarities and none of the warnings of my regular cycle.



Thanks everyone who tried to help me figure out what was wrong. Onward to the next cycle.


Of the two of us, my husband is taking it harder. Believe me I am taking it pretty hard. He trolled the site looking at answers, advice, and reasons.

His comment was, "Those are a nice group of women."
