My Cycle Is Driving Me Crazy ... Posted: 06-15-07 08:08am
Seriously! I just want to pull my hair
out!!
I had to take a 10 cycle of prometrium to
start my cycle. Here I am 6 days later
and...nothing! I'm having cramps and
headaches, but no sign of af. I'm now on
cd 63. I'm seriously going crazy. And on
top of all that, ff is saying that I may
have o'ed on tues/wens, which is just
flipping me out...Is that even
possible???? Heck if I know....I don't
know anything anymore. (did I mention I'm
having some nasty mood swings?)
And then there is fathers day. That has always
been a bad holiday for me, but now that
there will be so many more fathers around
(except my dh) It's going to be very hard.
Anyways, Sorry guys, I just needed to rant
some.

You are totally justified in your mood
swings and frustration. I know I would
have been jumping off the nearest bridge
if I was on day 63.
So in the other post you said that you had
a "weird" hpt result???? What was weird
about it?
I also went back to an old post that you
had your chart posted and I don't see
where they say you might have "o"ed. It
also doesn't show the dates. Are you
still updating it? Do you have the
current cycle showing to share on your
page? Just trying to take a good look.
Don't let this weekend get you down. I am
guessing that you are not going to be with
your dad for father's day? I think that
you and dh should go out and have a nice
time the both of you and not even mention
the fact that it is father's day.
I hope you feel better Christy...

I'm chalking it up to an 'invalid' result.
I took the test and you can see when the
fluid is running up the strip. Well, when
it got to where the 'result' line was, it
hesitated, and showed up as a faint line,
right away. Then it went to the
'control' line, and it didn't show up a
whole lot darker. So I was left with two
very faint lines. I have never had a faint
control line...never. Then I took another
test later that day, and it was a bfn. So,
I'm just counting the first one as
invalid.

I am updating it. I have only had one
'cycle' on ff so, I would assume that it
is the one that I am sharing. But, I can't
get to it from work, so I'm not sure. I
have to have an elevated temp tomorrow too
for the cover line to show up. They were
just saying because of the 'watery cm'
that I could be fertile. (I just thought
it was because of the progesterone) and
that I should watch to see if my temps
elevate to verify 'o'. Well, progesterone
raises your temp, so I knew that my temp
wouldn't be higher after stopping the
progesterone. But it is. It has been at
97.5(ish) for the last two days, which is
higher then when I was on the
progesterone. So, that is confusing the
heck out of me.

Yeah, no fathers day for me. I havn't
spoken to my dad in almost 7 years, and
I'm slightly bitter about the whole
situation. So, I've never been a fan of
fathers day. But I do have a step-dad that
I have to go see. And his son (the one
that just had a baby) will probably be
there. It's really not a big deal. I'm
just being a baby right now.

appreciate it!

Christy, when you get home today look at
your chart and then on the sharing
homepage. At the bottom look to see if
your cycle is selected and showing on the
left. Also under the privacy make sure the
auto update is checked. I don't see the
cm that you are entering either. I don't
know if that will do anything, but on
yours it doesn't show the dates or the cm
that's why I was wondering.
That sucks about the invalid result. I
thought you might be getting those faint
positives again. How are you feeling from
your ruptured cyst? Do you still need the
strong pain killers?
I am glad to help you feel better anytime.
You are always there when i need a pick
me up also... Thank you for that as well.
Yeah I am starting to get excited but I
still have a month and a half before my
pap so I am still waiting. I am thinking
about starting to take the Ovulex again at
the begining of July. I had some left
over from before we had to use condoms, so
I thought I might give my body a headstart
before we try again.
I am about to start af. I feel like I am
going to start today, and that would make
me only have a 10 day luteal phase.
Hopefully she will wait until Sunday like
ff says and then I will have my usual 12
day luteal phase.
oh and I made it through yesterday smoke
free, so I am now on my 5th day of no
smoking... other than the few puffs I had
the other day.

When I get home I will check my settings.
I'm not sure If I hit the auto update, so,
You might be seeing the same thing it was
back then.
I am feeling alot better. The only
problems I'm having now are these cramps.
They are horrible, but they are pretty
uncomfortable, and sometimes they are
really bad. But, I'll take that over the
cyst anyday!
Does the ovulex effect your cycle at all?
Great job on the smoking!! It will get
easier over the next week or two. it's the
first few days that are the hardest.

When I took the Ovulex before it really
regulated my cycle. Before I had 24-28
day cycles, but after I started taking
them they eventually got back to 26 days
and that is where they have been until
last cycle... If you can afford it, it
might help you to get regular. It doesn't
have any side effects that I noticed. It
makes you have more cm and in general
makes you feel better.
I am going to try sooo hard to keep up
with the no smoking. I have a feeling
that tonight will be hard. Friday is
usually the only night dh and I do
anything or go out with our friends. The
way I see it is that if I do end up
haveing one or two tonight, and none the
rest of the weekend, then it is better
than smoking the whole weekend. I can't
kill myself for falling off the horse...I
just have to keep getting back on and
trying!!!

Heather I'm so sorry to hear that you are
having such a difficult cycle. Cudos to
you because I definitely would have pulled
all my hair out by now.
What does your doctor say? Is there
anything else they can do? All these extra
hormones can't be pleasant either.
Vent all you want, you are completely
entitiled!

I have an appointment with my doctor on
.friday. (next, not today). I have to give
it two weeks to work and then I have to go
in for a pregnancy test before they can
give me anything else. So, I'm stuck
patiently waiting for af or next friday,
whichever comes first...

Cheryl, it's Christy that is having the
difficult cycle, not me...Unfortunatly I
am waiting for af to show her face in a
day or two.
When are you supposed to start af? Last
cycle we were on the same day and I think
we still are.

Oops! Sorry Heather, I meant to say
Kristy!
I'm on cd 24, 14dpo. I o'd on cd 10 this
month, so I think AF is going to show
earlier. I got a BFN this am...so I'm sure
AF will be here within a couple of days.
We're cycle twins!

I think that's a good idea...I would just
make big plans to go out and have fun, go
shopping, go to dinner, or see a movie or
something. Then change the name of the
day to ummm.... Christy or Terra day!!!
I'm sorry you guys don't have good
relationships with your fathers'. I have
a decent relationship with mine, but I
have a much better one with my stepdad.
My real dad tries to be my friend where as
my stepdad acts like a parent to me.

That's ok girly, vent away...
I will add to your vent. I knew that af
was coming soon, and on sunday she came
and boy did she come. I had to double up
on my pain meds this time as my cramps
were horrible. I was getting these waves
of pain which I thought was strange. I
have never had cramps like that.
I hope you had a good weekend.

That doesn't sound good. Where you taking
any meds this cycle?
I'm expecting to get af like never
before...and I'm not looking forward to
it. And the temping thing just has me all
confused. I've been updating it and it
said that after three days of a raised
temp it would indicate o'ing. But, I have
had three temps that are high (higher than
almost ever before, even when I was on the
progesterone) and it still hasn't given me
any cross hairs. So I'm assuming that my
temp is elevated because I will be
starting soon. I give up....

I wasn't taking anything this cycle. The
cramps are getting better. I should be
fine by tonight.
As far as ff and the crosshairs, you also
need to indicate your cm to help it decide
when you ovulate. Or with the opk
results. When you put those in along with
the temps, you should get a crosshair
either dotted or solid.
Your temp will go down when af is on her
way. So as soon as you get a temp dip,
she should come either that day or the
next.

I'm glad you feeling better. You would
think that sence you were late last month,
those cramps would have been worse. I hope
they are gone by tomorrow.
Yeah, I haven't used any opks. I honestly,
didn't/don't think that there was a chance
of me o'ing. I just can't wait until next
cycle, hopefully, that will be much easier
to chart. :fingers crossed: I go to the
doctor on friday, so I will probably start
on thursday...that is just how it works.
If I do make it until friday I will be on
cd70. so I hope It doesn't make it that
long!

That sucks! I hope that your doctor will
be able to help you find out what is going
on with you. Good luck at the doctors.
Let us know how it goes
That has always
been a bad holiday for me, but now that
there will be so many more fathers around
(except my dh) It's going to be very hard.
Then it went to the
'control' line, and it didn't show up a
