well isnt this lovely

[sunflower22]

So I'm on cd17 and I started my f-ing period!!!! I am so pissed. Last cycle my period was 5 days early. Now its 11 days early. Lovely. I've always been very regular w my cycles, now that I had my lap to take out endo I'm all over the place. This is so annoying!!! Should I call the Dr? Maybe its time to start seeing official fertility docs instead of my ob gyn. We were wanting to try for a while naturally after the lap but this is just a waste of time and energy. :-(

Wait wait! Are you positive it's your period? Could it be ovulation spotting? It might be a stupid question, but I thought it was worth throwing out there.

I'm sorry you're going through this.

[sunflower22]

Not a stupid question at all, but I seriously doubt it.. it started out as light spotting yesterday and got heavier today. And I feel crampy Ugh. I'll avoid ib profin just in the tiniest chance but I'm really not hopeful at all.

oooohhh no I forget, have you been trying for "long enough" within your age range to see a fertility specialist?? The flip side of that comment is who the eff cares. It's your body and if you want to talk to someone about what's up, then do it.

I hope you're wrong tho! My friend said her dr. told her that heavy bleeding was a sign of early pregnancy sometimes...I'm not sure if I believe it; but stranger things have happened right??

I think CD17 seems really early for early pregnancy spotting.

I'd probably wear a pad just to see how much it is (I always have trouble debating what's spotting and not with a tampon).

Ugh, good luck.

We've been trying for 13 months (I'm 28). I think my hormones must be all out of whack! Who knows, I'll see what the Dr says. Thanks for letting me vent

Dang! Sorry. I don't have much advice, as we're just getting started.

However--and I'm sure you may have heard me mention here before--but the organization I work for works with a major fertility care center based in the Midwest. They use a really cool method of treating fertility issues called NaPro Technology (The Creighton Model) and I am blessed to hear ALL THE TIME at work stories of couples who have had amazing success.

Check it out. You can go to this site and click on "Find a Medical Consultant." It will take you to docs in your area who are trained in this method. Good luck! www.fertilitycare.org/

Boo for CD1. Are you charting?

[sunflower22]

Prairie ive never heard of that, I'll check it out! No not charting I was trying to "relax" a little lol, I think I'll order a BBT and some more wonfo ov strips tonight. I need to face the fact that I cant be relaxed about this, its going to take some work.

You may not be ovulating, or only ovulating some cycles. I have heard that the lap can make your cycles wonky. I would call your doctor and ask.
