So, yeah, I was right about AF showing up early -- heavy spotting last night and there she was this morning.
So, let's recap this crazy short (24 day) cycle: I O'd on CD 13 -- normally I average about CD 15/16 when med free. I had an 11 day LP -- lately I average 13 days with a few 12 here and there (like last cycle). I thought things were returning to normal post m/c but apparently we've gone all sorts of wonky. This is the shortest cycle I've had since TTC. I guess the good thing is that we can move on more quickly.
On a positive note (for me at least) my DH reported from happy hour last night (I didn't go because I was feeling like crap) that D had a beer.
Rebecca, sorry about stupid AF ever showing her face again! Thinking about you and I am glad that "D" had a drink. Now it's your turn to get a drink or two...it's what I need about now.
ReplyDeleteugggh((( I am sorry about the crappy cycle. That frustration is the last thing you need:( I hope it was just a little fluke, and everything goes perfectly well this month, and this will be your record looooong cycle (I mean about 270 days;) My fingers are always crossed for you, Girl!

I love D for having a beer last night! (((sigh of relief)))
funny you say that you had a short cycle, because last cycle for me my LP was also short -- i think it was about 12 days...but because i didn't temp, i wasn't 100% sure of which day i ovulated. stupid, stupid bodies.
ReplyDeleteand :D for d having a beer.
So glad to hear your friend had a beer! I know the feeling of having certain friends you can rely on NOT getting pregnant.....and then getting worried that even THOSE friends are getting pregnant! Lots of luck with your upcoming cycles!
ReplyDeleteHooray for D having a beer! Sorry about the short cycle, mine got shorter and shorter throughout treatment because I O'd earlier each time.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the short weird cycle! I'm so glad to hear the D had a beer. That is a relief!
ReplyDeleteBOO for AF....YIPPY for D having a beer =)
ReplyDeleteThat sucks about AF, I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteIt literally brought a smile of relief to my face that your friend had a beer. It would suck if she got pregnant, and I'm really glad it's not the case.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you, and I hope this cycle goes well. Having to plan out the financial part for the next year is crap. I'm so sorry you have to deal with it. I really admire you, and I know you're going to survive this stupid crappy time. <3
Glad to hear you won't get blind-sided by the friend. But sorry about all the weird body stuff :( HUGS.
ReplyDeleteFor all the rigamarole of charting your cycle, it seems like you should be OWED a nice regular pattern! And, YAY about D!
ReplyDeleteAF showed for you too!? I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your steady stream of support on my blog, it means a lot to read your comments.
So glad that D was drinking! Now we just have to hope she's not pregnant--y'know, for everyone's sake. ;) And I'm totally with you on the bullshit excuse for "normal" cycles an m/c leaves us with. As if just losing a baby weren't bad enough. You're right, though: a shorter cycle will let you try again sooner. Have you considered progesterone to help lengthen your luteal phase? Hope this was all just a one-time fluke. May we all reestablish patterns that make sense and that can put us on the path to babies.
ReplyDeleteBummer about your wonky cycle....hopefully it gets back on track immediately!
ReplyDeleteAnd YAY, for D having a beer...what a sigh of relief!!!
