... any little oddity will drive you nuts!!!

My period was super short this month-- I mean, one day and not very heavy. It's usually very heavy for two days and then light for another day or so. I tested twice at 10 DPO and 13 or 15, something like that and both were negative. Fine.

But then I get my period and it's very short and now, I'm having to tinkle like crazy! And for the past two days I feel some kind of "tightening" in my lower abdomen. It could be anything, really. I'm still breaking out and I feel like I look bloated.

I refuse to test until I get some VERY obvious sign, I won't be let down again! And I don't really think I am pregnant right now, but this is driving me nuts!

Last month was the first month of really charting, so I don't have too much previous data to go off of.

Does anyone else have those times when you feel like you're in limbo and you're going crazy?!?

Yep, I feel like I'm in a constant state of limbo sometimes.

So when you started your period, did your temp drop as well? I know you don't have much to compare it to, but if you had temped through O and saw a temp shift, then it would drop when you started your period... technically... and then you would know you were starting another cycle/not pregnant.

Are you stressed? Maybe sick? I'm sure you've probably considered those options, but just a thought. Hopefully you figure it all out very soon... it's no fun to be frustrated about what's going on!

I would test again. Maybe your ovulation date was later than you thought and this alleged period was implantation?

I was thinking the exact same thing. I think your instincts are telling you that bleeding wasn't normal or you wouldn't be posting. I think you should take a test.

I agree you should test. Sorry you are in a state of limbo. I hope you find out soon.

Thanks Ladies! (I lost internet last night.)

I really don't want to test again and have it be negative, but I'm being driven nuts. I have gone to the restroom literally 9 times today and the second I'm done, I have to go again. Usually by now, it's only been 2-3 times max!

I'm going to test tonight when I get home!

My instincts are telling me something IS different, but I have very persuasive instincts that might be lieing to me.

My temp did drop quite a bit when I started my period and has been fairly low since then as compared to the previous weeks. I do see the pattern of my temp being lower.

Oh well, I'm going to test again tonight just as confirmation.

I would test again as well. Good luck and KUP!
