I need some advice!

For the 1st time in my life, I wasnt waiting around on af.. For the 1st time in my life af came early.. for the 1st time in my life af came before I even finished my meds!!!

So about that advice I need... first af showed at 7:45pm.. is today CD1 or is tomorrow CD1??? If I go by TCOYF tomorrow is CD1..

second.. I'm supposed to go in for bloodwork on CD3.. (this brings us back to my first question) so that would either be sunday or monday.. well I dont know if the dr ordered the labs yet so I dont want to go to the hospital on monday morning and then say that the labs hadnt been ordered yet.. that would be a waste of being late to work.. so do I wait til monday night and have it possibly CD4??

and should I take my last prometrium pill tonight??

ugh this crap is so darn confusing sometimes! You would think after 9 months of actually keeping track I would get it.. but nope..

I think tomorrow would be CD1

ABSOLUTELY finish your prometrium. That is very important. When I took it, I started bleeding 5 days before my last pill and I still took it until the last pill was gone, per doctors orders. I am excited for you this cycle!!

I'm not sure what to expect this cycle. I think it will just be all kinds of testing (as if I havent been poked and prodded enough in the last 8 years!).. but at least we are getting somewhere and not sitting around! I'm getting jealous of all you preggo ladies!

It's always been my understanding that CD1 is the first day of red flow... so I would mark it as today, not tomorrow.

Actually, isn't CD1 the last day you take Prometrium? Agh, I can't remember. Ask the Med assistance board, I bet they know.

Shannon, some docs count cd 1 as the next day if AF starts after 6pm while on meds. At least mine did.

on the MA board they said tomorrow.. that was my understanding too (after 6pm) also.. **TMI** I def need a tampon.. it was red, but now its brown not red... ughh... why cant things in life be clear cut!
