I only started charting on January 17th, and already, I'm hellishly confused (for anyone who can help, the link to my chart on FF is in my sig)...
Background: Started AF at age 11, it was always erratic until my mother forced me on the pill at age 15. The doctors wanted to stop my cycle for 3 months, and then go on normal consumption of the pill. I took a months worth of tablets, gained 25kg and then bled like a stuck pig for 2 solid weeks, and haven't touched the pill since.
Menses has always been very extremely erratic until late 2008 when it started to come good.
As 2009 progressed, I discovered I was having a 40 day cycle.
So, for me, 40 days seems the normal cycle length. I am now on day 47 (as its 1:55am).
First decided to start trying on the 4th Jan, and dtd on Jan 4th and 5th.
Had a gardnerella infection, got confused on the CM front because of the discharge, it appeared egg whitey, so I thought I'd ovulated.
Partner was away a few weeks, and then when we reunited, I decided to start trying OPK's to see what my body was doing...
But anyway... did the OPK on 17th and it came up a resounding positive, test line was darker than the control line!
dtd 17th, 18th, 19th...
Started light spotting bleeding on 19th. Too soon for implantation bleeding, surely? But went with it. Had light bleeding for 5 or 6 days.
They finished about a week before my AF was due to arrive. Am fairly certain the bleeding was NOT AF, as when my AF arrives, its messy, over the top, bloody, gory, and I look like a victim of knifing and I spend all the time on the loo (TMI I know, apologies)...
So concluding it was NOT my AF, I decided to wait.
AF was due on Jan 25th.
AF has yet to arrive 6, almost 7 days later.
I have sore nipples, my back hurts constantly, I have some slight cramping that lasts all day long, I'm headachey, have been gassy, nauseous, I feel horribly fat, I constantly feel the urge to do #2 but I'm constipated, I'm feeling like a battery thats run dry, but everytime I lay down I feel nauseous, I'm urinating a lot...
BUT I've done 3 seperate HPT's (well, technically 1 wasn't an HPT, it was a pee stick at the doctors office, even though I told her it was probably way too soon for that).
ALL have come back
And now I'm at a loss.
I'm confused in part, because sore breasts and feeling bloated are usually signs for me of AF's arrival (I retain water BADLY when AF is around, usually to the point of weighing an extra 3kg, so bad).... But AF has yet to arrive and its got me bugged.
So... yeah... HELP!
And have a look at my chart if that helps you assess me!
and OW, I just got a severe pain in my belly.... hope its poo pain and not AF related pain! I HATE AF, I wish the cow had never came in the first place, her regular visits are a nightmare!
