Where is my period??

Hey all,
Im TTC, pretty much just started, and im still a newbie one here...AND just learnt about charting and temping...
OKay so i went and got a ovulation themometer last night...most people say they are meant to do it to 2 DP...but this one only does to one, but it is still a ovulation one... ANY way thats not my question...
Okay, im 3 days late for my period (i took a test today and it was negative, but havent given up hope, it could be too early) im really excited about starting to chart and everything, but i cant till i get my period! And i dont know where it is gone :doh:
So my cycle is usually 28 days, but now that its 3 days late...what do i do now?? How long do i say my cycle is (if i get my period soon)??
Im new to this whole charting thing...so dont mind me if its a really silly question lol..

TannedAngel, are you just coming off the pill??
I went off pill and my first cycle was 48days (that was hard!) and then 30, then 33. It's difficult when you don't really know your proper cycle length isnt it? I am normally 28days cycle length well that was before i went on pill so hoping it goes back to that or at least 28-30 days.... it almost is... but it's taken me since March to get back to regular (kind of). just over 3mths.
For charting purposes, like FertilityFriend, i have just said i am 30 day cycle (averaged it out kinda) and going off that for now... just keep recording every day your CM (cervical mucus) changes, and your temp ...good luck. hope you get your AF or better still, your BFP soon!

OH! Forgot! And what is good, is "Vitex Agnus Castus" i took that and got my AF 2 days later! it helps regulate your hormones and level them out so AF can arrive... perhaps try it? you only need to take it around the time of AF and then once AF arrives stop it. some ppl say to take it the first half of your cycle others say the last part of your cycle, i'm not too sure but i know if AF is a few days late i will take it and it helps...get it from chemist, i use Blackmores brand but there are others also... take 2 or 3 per day. check it out on the blackmores website... don't forget Folic Acid tablets too (i'm sure you probably know about that already)

I was on the implanon till mid feb, then from then i was on the pill for just under a month, so till mid march. I then stopped taking it fully.
so its been about 4 months or so...maybe JUST under...i would have thought my cycles would have evened out by then...coz they continued to be 28 after being on the pill...
Hmm na i dont think its to do with the pill, i could be wrong though lol...

oh damn! I wrote a post and lost it! :(
It's frustrating not knowing your body and its cycle hey? I am going through the same frustrating thing. and not knowing if you are Oing or not. i believe if you are getting AF (even tho its irregular) then you are probably "O"ing at some point in that cycle but it may differ each cycle KWIM?
I've been off pill since Mid march so around same time as you so yeah just about 4mths now..
I'm not temping but i am charting on FF website and thats helping me i guess... we arent TTC until Aug/Sept though

Hey thanks heaps :) ill try that stuff you mentioned :)
I too think that you are ovulating if your getting AF...IM going to be temping and charting soon as i do get my AF lol...coz i dont think you can till the start of your cycle..

yep that's a good point! Start CD1... first day of AF and then you'll be right... good luck

any news tannedangel???

It came, was just late... :(
Started temping and charting though :)

sorry to hear about AF arriving.... good luck this cycle :)
