Any progress on the AF front for you, Pooley?

AF was… well um… it was an experience. I had really bad cramps the first two days. AF started Tuesday afternoon and the cramps were in full force by that night – the cramps continued through Wednesday but the flow wasn’t too bad as I said it was a bit odd in colour at first but by Wednesday morning it was noticeably red. It was a lighter AF than what I expected and only lasted from Tuesday night to Friday night as Saturday morning there was nothing at all and nothing by Saturday afternoon. I can’t for the life of me remember how long AF used to visit for before Implanon but my sisters and best friend all say that they have AF visit for about a week so maybe the cycles will build up in intensity… I don’t know anymore – I really wish I had enquired about life after Implanon prior to having it put in but hindsight is always 20/20.

The several cycles issue well… I don’t know that I am handling it very well, it was such a come down after AF arriving that I just cried, it was all I could do. But I started charting my temps when AF started, so hopefully that will give me some sort of an indication if ovulation is occurring. I read somewhere that persons on Metformin (or other meds) should not use OPK so I suppose temping is my only hope at the moment, it takes a bit of getting used to but if it helps confirm ovulation then I am more than happy to chart!
