OMG....Period came early!! :( :(

What the heck??  I am was only 11 dpo and my af came early. This never happens. I thought i had implantation spotting, but it turns out it was my af coming. This is the first time ever i got my af this early. I wasnt due until the 26th. I noticed that my temp dropped again below my coverline. I was hoping it wasnt what i thought it meant. and poof.  There she is. Its not yet a flow. But i notice red when i wiped. So assume she is here. Damn. This has been the weirdest month by far. I had O cramps, then the cramping continued everyday, and now my af is starting to appear. I guess after my m/c in sept, my cycle is out out of whack.

Actually, when it happens it happens. With all this stress about getting pregnant, we probably wont even end up pregnant. We have to just let it be. In two months, my husband and i want to buy a house, so we will be concentrating on that. I bet i'll get pregnant then, when i am not thinking about it. I have been stressing about having a baby since my m/c. Its not healthy, and your body knows when you are stressed. I have to take a backseat, and just relax. I am only 26 years old. Still very young. I can have a baby anytime. Now, i want to concentrate on owning my own home. And i hope to do it this year. Then we can raise a family. Getting preggo now, may complicate things when looking for a house. We will see what the future holds.

Thanks. AF came, and with full force!  So gross. I hate this.  Its the worst part of being a women, but we need it in order to have babies. Life of a women, i hope in our next life, men with go thru the same thing. Sorry to hear AF visited you too. Well, lets pray next month is our month.  Good luck, and as always, lots of baby dust to you all!!!

This supposed af is very different. It has yet to reach the pad. Its a lot heavier than spotting, but yet a flow. Its weird, Its kind of staying up there. I see stuff every time i wipe. Maybe it will come heavier tomorrow. This is just odd that is hasnt started to flow yet. Every single one of my other periods would start of lie that, then within hours, it would just flow. It has been like this all day.

Well I had what felt like period cramps starting a few days after ovulation,everyday after ovulation then the day AF was to start I spotted brown for a few hours then it started to flow. I never usually have severe cramping during periods except for this month and about 2 months ago when I could have been pregnant then too. Now I k\don't know if they were very early miscarriages or just regular bad periods.

Did you bleed early, or right when you expected your period?  How did you find out you were pregnant?

You know I bleed when I was pregnant with my son. I bleed bright red with bad cramps for three days. I would have mistaken it for my period if I had not found out I was pregnant so early ( 2 weeks) so take a test anyway and just see

You really know your stuff. Thanks. As you know, this is very frustrating. I hope I do get a normal cycle this coming month. Maybe its because i am getting older my period is getting off its normal schedule. I will try the b6.  Great advice. Thanks again.

Yes its possible to have an anovulation cycle.it happens to most women some time through there life..your right about your luteal phase being short,it needs to be at least 12 + to support a pregnancy,10 days is to short,you may find your next cycle will be ok,since you came on late last cyle by 6 days,yet early this cycle i would say next cycle should be normal.its also possible you o early than you thought.i did have a short luteal phase since my mc in sep i take b6 vitamin to extend it,it does work,last month it was 11 days now im 13 days.and still waiting.cramps following o is pefectly normal.i wouldnt worry on that issue.try to not get yourself worked up.this also wont help,it sends your body completely out of wack i do know most of the women here and ones i know have concieved when they more or less gave up.

some women get this whilst on the pill,but obviously since your not,it is another term used for bleeding in early pregnancy,since we can have a normal period,during pregnancy..
Implantation Bleeding
Implantation bleeding can cause you some confusion when you are unsure whether or not you are pregnant. It is not always easy to tell what is break through bleeding, or spotting between periods, and what is actually implantation spotting. The difference between period and implantation bleeding is that implantation bleeding occurs as a result of the embryo burrowing into your endometrium. However, because implantation spotting usually occurs right around the time you would be expecting your period, it is easy to mistake it for your period or as breakthrough bleeding.
Implantation bleeding signs generally include blood that is lighter than menstrual bleeding and is either pink or brown in color. How long implantation bleeding lasts will vary from woman to woman. It is important to note, though, that spotting in early pregnancy is not the same as implantation bleeding.

what do you mean breakthrough bleeding?  What is that?  This is definitely an off cycle. But two off cycles in a row? what are the odds of that?  My concern too is that this whole entire month, i have been having af like cramps, ever since i ovulated. What could be causing me to cramp all month long?  This month my luteal phase what 10 days. 10 DAYS?  I am wondering if I even ovulated at all. Is it possible to skip an ovulation?  The more I wonder, the more upset i get. My cycles were SO normal before my miscarriage. How is it possible to get pregnant again when you have NO idea when the heck you ovulate. FF found it this month, but at the same time, 10 days after i get my period. Its like the egg didnt even have a chance. I dont know. I am loosing my mind.  I am soooooo upset.

oh, no. I didnt get a faint line. That must of been something else. Well ladies, cramps have gotten stronger, and i am seeing it come down faster and darker. I see bright red. So, its here!  DAMN!  This isnt fair. Last cycle i was 6 days late, and now i am 6 days early. WTF!  I give up. I am gonna give up on this whole baby stuff for a while. Its driving me crazy. And how the heck can i plan to get pregnant if my cycle is out of whack every month. I just cant figure out why it came so early. This is so disappointing. I just want to cry.

wasn't it you that got a faint line?? I thought it was maybe I am wrong. I thought you posted you got a faint positive and your fiance had to look at it?? anyways I think you could still be pregnant. Alot of people get innocent bleeding in the very beggining of their pregnancy which confuse them.

no, temp goes down w/AF...if it goes back up and still no heavy period then you can still be hopeful...although like you say implantation spotting is usually pink or brown, only one day and very very little...

I dont know. I thought spotting was supposed to be very light and faint. Now its looks dark brown, a little bits of tissue. Sorry, TMI. It seems like it is getting darker. It yet hasnt reached the pad. But still. Everytime i wipe, something is on the tissue. What if my temp doesnt go up, i assume that this is af.  Gosh, this is so confusing.

Hiya i just looked at your chart its not uncommon to have fallback shifts..i get them all the time.i have learnt that any spotting or bleed before your period,isnt your period coming early but left over from last cycle.to be honest you say you were spotting a little day 9 with a temp drop i would have put that as implantation dip,now its only as you wipe.i think its still possible ,yes normally your temp slopes just before af so you know she is coming,i would wait to see if your temp goes back up tomorrow,fingers crossed if she did,i would think be to early to test just yet.few more days maybe if she dont come.

i tested yesterday, it was BFN!  I really dont think i am going to get my BFP. All this spotting is just confusing the heck out of me. Isnt my temp supposed to be going up, not down. It dropped so doesnt that mean af is on its way.  Maybe its taking its sweet old time.

Oh, and i started spotting 9dpo. It was very light and little. I would spot off and on. My temp dropped 9dp, then when back up 10dpo, then dropped again today. Doesnt that mean af is coming?

Hey so far its only when i wipe. I have yet to wet the pad. But this is the second temp drop after ovulation. Does your temp normally drop below the coverline more than once?  Here is my chart

http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1bc2a8

What do you think? Has this happened to anyone?  This is so odd. The two months after my m/c i had very normal cycles. Then Last month my af was 6 days late, and now it seems like it may be 6 days early. Right now it is brown, almost like the last day of your period, like it will be stopping. Sorry TMI. And I still feel crampy.

Annie2008, good luck to you. Wish you the best.
