My period just showed up 4 days early

[papie]

as I was POAS.  (yes it was BFN, lol)


BITCH.  Um, so I guess I have a short luteal phase now?  My temp shift was pretty clear, as was my CM pattern, so I am pretty sure about O date.  I used to have a 14 or 15 day LP, and this time it was 10. 

(Yeah I know, for non TTC freaks, this reads as blablablablabla)

I'm sorry.

[pursemeatballs]

I'm sorry. Isn't there something you can take to lengthen your LP? Green tea or something?

[lola]

Nothing gets your period to show up faster than POAS, in my experience!



I'm sorry about your BFN Papie. I hope this happens for you soon.

Sorry Papie! This has happened to me more than once prompting me to stick to peeing in a cup/dipping always. A BFN sucks but it sucks worse when you just realize you wasted $6.

A "normal" LP length is from 10-16 days, so it sounds like you could be on the shorter side of normal. You can try adding in a B6 supplement to lengthen it if you are concerned.

It could be just a weird cycle. Sorry about your BFN.

[papie]

Thanks guys!

Honestly, it's ok, it is just our second month.  Hopefully next cycle!

[softspot]

Boo about the BFN. I second taking B6 to lengthen your LP. I did that for two of our TTC periods.

[ElizabethBennet]

That sucks

My period is due today and I got a BFN as well. It's only our second month too but I'm bummed.

I have absolutely had that happen before. Sorry Papie!

[shoeless]

That sucks. Hopefully this was just an off cycle for your LP.

My luteal phase was 10 days and I was able to get pregnant. I would also spot for 3 to 4 days before my period would come, so that really concerned me. I also agree with pp that you can take b6 to lengthen your LP. Good luck!

[thatgirl2478]

Sorry papie. Been there done that. I sucks

[snickers]

Is it a period for sure?
I don't want to give you false hope, but I got "my period" 2 days before my BFP, or so I thought....It turns out it was implantation. My period was generally pretty light though, so I was easily mistaken.

[snickers]

Also, I used B6 to lengthen my luteal phase, and it seemed to work.
Good luck!

[chickadee77]

Boo for BFN. Cycles can get wonky after a loss. And, yes, nothing brings on a period like POAS, lol.

I know the same thing happened when I accidentally got pregnant last fall, fake period and all.  I guess if my temp spikes back up I will test again, but it is unlikely. 

[lilybug]

That sucks.

I just got mine on CD 17. I think my body is pissed off due to lack of insemination. "Whelp, this bitch isn't having sex anyway, might as well skip ovulation and give her three periods a month."

Anyway. Hope this is your last period for a long while.

[cheeseandcrackers]

go away period, you're not wanted.

[Deleted]

Aw, that is a bummer. If your LP is normally longer than 10 days, I wouldn't sweat it. Sometimes you just have a wonky cycle here or there. Two cycles before I got pregnant with DS, I had two periods, 14 days apart. It was bizarre but never happened again.

[daisyheadmaizie]

Sorry, Papie. That sucks.
