I need help keeping my sanity right now! Starting last Friday I have had some odd symptoms and in the back of my mind I just kept thinking, "It's WAY too early for AF."

Background: I confirmed ovulation on the 4th. AF is due on the 20th

All weekend I was slightly crampy, very on edge and moody, my face broke out and I just was SO upset that this was very, very early cycle.

Monday I started spotting...ten full days before AF was due. I had spotting yesterday, but it stopped by this morning.

I called my ob's office because I get nervous about spotting at CD 16!!! That's just not normal and further confirms in my mind that this guy NEEDS to do a hormone check on me. He finally called me back today. He said, "All of that sounds like implantation bleeding to me. Go buy a HPT. If it's positive keep me posted."

Really? Don't tell that to someone who's been trying unsuccessfully for so long. Of course now I'm on the edge of my seat (but I do NOT think it's implantation). I think my hormones are all off the wall and that's why we haven't been able to get pregnant too. I just want to scream...and no one around here wants to listen to me because they're sick of hearing my TTC tales and symptoms.


And by "no one around here" I mean my family and friends. They don't even listen to me when I tell them I have a question or something anymore. They just keep saying, "See? This is why you can't get pregnant, you're too focused on it all." And you know what, that makes me want to DECK them! Grrrr!

Do you normally have a 16 day Luteal phase ?

[hubshope]

No, I don't have a 16 day luteal phase. I usually have a 14 day luteal phase.


Oh, I see why you ask...so that would make me due on the 18th, not the 20th. (sorry, I got the number from Fertility Friend's predicted start day for me...it's only ever been wrong by one day one time in over a year)

Still no change today, btw. But I did a FRER this morning and it was negative...so I'm sure AF will show in another few days.
