Perhaps instead of cd1-5 commiseration, we should just call it the non 2WW cycle purgatory?
If it's cycle purgatory I'm all in! Waiting on my period so I can do testing and we can get cleared to cycle at the very beginning of October. One of those times when waiting is killing me and I loathe having long cycles because the waiting is even longer.
I'm CD2 and it seems that I'm getting a new symptom each cycle.
Typically, my period would shock me except I have nasty mood swings. Cramping doesn't start until after period does. Two cycles ago I cramped for five days leading up to AF. Again this past cycle now along with fiery boobs. It's making the tww even more of a mindf*ck (Can I curse here?) and my period even worse.
Jalapeñomel I'm mid thirties and pms is just getting worse and worse. I thought maybe I was just more aware whilst TTC but I'm pretty sure it's not my hyper sensitivity.
Had CD1 yesterday, which was right on schedule for what FF guessed. Luckily, since I'd gotten a BFN a couple days before, I wasn't as sad as I usually am to see AF...I had gotten past that stage already. Now I'm just my normal moody, tired, bloated, crampy period self. Being a woman is fun! /sarcasm

Ugh I'm so sorry @writererin. It is a drag! Since we are starting for real (hopefully) this cycle I have been been so excited in my life to actually get my period. Then it lasted only a day, worrying me and my RE, but of course I still had 4-5 days of cramping/bloating/mood swings. The literal worst.
CD 32 - Negative FRER this morning. My skin has been a wreck this week so I'm just waiting for AF to show. My cycles are between 28-35 days but average 31.
I had a good amount last month, but no so much this month. I can see why my OB is recommending IUI's after 3 three medicated cycles because of what this is doing the the CM.
I'm on day 7 of AF with no end in sight. If I go from the never ending cycle to the never ending period, I'm going to lose my freaking mind.
Oh I am MAD for you! Wtf body, get it together and help a girl out! Sorry for your bad cycle luck.
I'm bummed because I knew this was going to happen. My first cycle got my hopes up, because it was long (43 days) but it did what it was supposed to. 5 day AF, ovulation, 6 day AF started on 15DPO. I really thought that maybe my doctor was wrong and things would work out. I'm so sick of doctors, and I'm so tired of needing medical interventions and seeing specialists and feeling broken.

@writererin - I don't see my doctor until 10/11, but this is how my cycles were before BC. So, it could be my body trying to adjust from BC or it could be my body going back to "normal". I used to have 3-4 week long periods, with anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months in between them.
