Could irregular AF mean something is wrong? ttc

[Stef110]

I feel like I have been going crazy. I have been calculating my cycle on the calendar of the my cell. My cycle has always been 28 days and lasts 5 days. I am 26 with 2 children already. At first I thought maybe I was calculating wrong because I got my AF about a week before I was supposed to (when things started going wrong with my AF, which was at least back in november). I thought maybe I had accidently been counting my days by the end of my AF which is why it came early. If that makes sense. I got my AF on December 11 and I wasn't expecting it until about 5-7 days later. It ended on the 16th. Having it then meant I should get my AF on January 7. My husband and I had unprotected sex on Jan 1st, twice and once on the 2nd. I ended up getting my AF on Jan 3rd-8th. It lasted about 4-5 days, spotting on the last. It didn't seem normal though, I had no heavy days. We bought an OPK and I started taking it on January 13th. Up until the 19th it had a faint test line, never as dark or darker than the control line. I just figured what the heck, the tests probably aren't working right anyway, and we started ttc on the 18th and again today(the 22nd), only once each time. On the the 19th, the day after we had sex, the ovulation test didn't have any test line at all. And even up to today it still does not. Within an hour of our BMS today, I got my AF? At least it looks like it did the last time I got it on the 3rd. Which wasn't a normal sort of AF for me anyway. I thought I caught on to what was happening, that maybe my cycles were getting shorter, like only being every 23 or 24 days. But if that were the case, I wouldn't of gotten it until January 26 or 27th, which is almost a week away. I can't help but think that something is wrong with me?? How could I get it 19 days later... I never had 2 AFs in one month, not that I can recall.

As far as how I'm feeling. I have pain in my lower back to the right, but I have had the feeling before so I don't think it's a symptom. Actually, it comes and goes(not with my AF)... ever since I was a teenager.
I have felt nausea just a little off and on in the past 2 maybe 3 days. Yesterday at work I got like a disgust nausea for a minute where I felt like I smelled something, I don't know what, but it made me feel like with time that I might get sick, but it went away after a minute. When I was pregnant I usually new ahead of time whether or not I was going to get sick.
For some reason, also, I don't seem to be eating as much in a sitting as I normally do... I seem to be feeling full more? If that makes sense.
I have been tired lately and for some reason my forehead is warm to the touch, but I have no fever. I checked with a digital thermometer (3 times) and it was 97.1.
Also, now just remembering, I did take a pregnancy test on friday the 16th and it came out negative.
I feel like I'm going insane, but I just thought maybe someone else might be able to relate or give me some words of wisdom so I won't be worrying like crazy??

Wow, this was a long time ago. For anyone who cares... it turned out I had Group B Strep. Apparently it's possible to be a carrier and not have any symptoms. Really I dont even know if my irregular af had anything to do with the group b strep. I know I was urinating more which is what made me think something was up. Anyway, I did end up conceiving around Feb 21, 2009. We were surprised when we found out in mid april. Then to be told we were about 5 weeks and the ultrasound said 8 weeks. Very surprising to find out we were 3 weeks further along. Anyway it was my 3rd child and it was the first time that group b strep was detected. So idk. Things went good though. Haven't had any problems since.

I have to agree with babypooh, go see your doctor. They can rule out any problems that could be effecting your period. If they dont find anything wrong you might just need a little help getting your periods back on track.
After the birth of my 2nd son I got on bc for about 6 months. I got off it and desided on natrual family planning. Than desided to try again. It took me 2 years to get pregnant with my 3rd!! My doctor put me on clomid for 3 cycles and nothing but it put me back on track. I ended up giving up in October 2007 and got pregnant in November.
Sometimes stress can effect your periods so relax and enjoy TTC:) I know its easier said than done, but enjoying it can make all the differerance.
Good luck!!

Have you talked to your doctor about this? You should see the doctor and see what the best treatment can be. Maybe you should go get an ultrasound to rule out cysts, which can be a cause of irregular periods sometimes. Good luck!
