CD1-5 Commiseration Thread

[RITS]

I hope I'm not stepping on toes creating a thread but we have a 2WW thread so why not? 😂😭

[katespade]

I LOVE this idea! I'm in cycle limbo right now, but my nausea level is making me think I will be joining you soon.

No toes to step on here, it's so transient.

I'm in no ovulation/no period hell.

Ugh. I'm sorry that you're there, too.

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.

[seeyalater52]

But I also get that for those cycling CD1 sucks extra so definitely defer to those ladies what the purpose of this thread should be.

[RITS]

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.

Does anyone else get even more ragey periods the more cycles you have under your belt?

If by more cycles you mean approaching my 40th year if life, then yes. Lol

[RITS]

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.

[somersault72]

CD 4 here. I start my Femara tomorrow. My doctor upped my dose this month so we shall see.

[onthemove]

I'm CD 7 but 40 day cycles. And we missed last FW because of my work, and I'm scheduled to be gone during this cycle's FW as well ☹️😡

[compassrose]

CD1 and cramping my SO got up and made me toast so I could take Advil.

[Jalapeñomel]

As a teacher there are really three ideal months to get PG. one was last month, and it looks like I could miss this month too. 😡

I hear you. Next month would be okay, too, but damn.

[melsamoony]

Jalapeñomel (hugs). What do you teach?

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

[seeyalater52]

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.

[tacom]

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.

[katespade]

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.

[compassrose]

Still waiting to O. Back to minimal EWCM.

[melsamoony]

katespade (hugs)

Cd 6 I think with just some spotting at this point.

[Deleted]

seeyalater52 - I hope whatever's going on turns out to be nothing to be concerned about.

katespade - I think it's official...you have the worst cycle luck ever.

*hugs* all around!

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 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.

Now I'm just really sad.

I'm so sorry. Sending lots of gentle hugs.

I'm so sorry, katespade. Does your doctor think this is still your body adjusting from BC? I'm frustrated on your behalf!

[katespade]

@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.
