78th day of no period....

[SpadesOfGlory]

As the title suggests, I haven't had a period since the 18th October. I came off cerazette at the start of June and have had irregular cycles since but this is by far the longest.

DH and I are TTC and I last took a pregnancy test at the start of December so I'm fairly confident I'm not pregnant (we were both sick after that and didn't have any inclination to DTD).

We finally DTD on 26th and 27th December and yesterday I had really sore breasts and some cramps and EWCM in the morning for the first time in a long time, but we only managed to DTD late last night. Im mildly cramping this morning and have watery CM. These long cycles are so confusing! Is there a chance we might've caught ovulation this month? How long should I wait before testing?

Great news about the doctor 👍🏼 Bet AF cones in the next few days now 😂

Lifeofriley ny af was barely there for the first day but then got heavier for a day. Only lasted 4/5 day but then cm changes happened so I knew it wasn’t just withdrawal xx

I know I was early to test but sooo many women get bfps at 10dpo I thought 11dpo was more likely again lol

Great news about the Dr @Pickett. So reassuring that at least one GP is interested and won't just shrug you off.

Why did I ever wish for a period?? I am in a fowl-ass mood, i want to punch everyone, eat chocolate, drink gin, have a bath, sleep and scream all at the same time, but instead I'm sat at work, humph.
Positive thinking, positive thinking....

Is it still there @LifeOfRiley63 ? Lol soo funny! Im ok mood ways at the min, just sore and cant wait to get home, get a bath and into my Jammies

Yeah its just quite light. Don't think I really need a tampon, might just get some pads instead.

Ooh a bath, that sounds heavenly. Room for me? 😉

Now I’m not so sure if this is AF or not! I definitely have AF cramps, but it’s just so so light and really only kinda there when I wipe, it’s not even enough for a pad... it’s more than just spotting when wiping. Was anyone’s this light on their first day??

Thanks all 👍🏻 I’m convinced I’ve been feeling cramps all afternoon since seeing the doctor though 😂 I have a blood test booked in for this Monday which is meant to be my ‘anytime’ tests, am hoping I’ll come on and can use them as my day 2-5 tests!

Well I am having achy stabby feelings like in my bones down there. Can't really describe it but AF cramps for me usually feel more general and less concentrated low down.

Tinker I've had a couple of periods where I've heavy spotted for days before the full flow starting. Give it a couple of days and see what happens maybe?

Will do thanks, I would say today is heavy spotting and no need for a pad as is only when I wipe but it’s there! As lifeofriley said earlier also, I hope this wouldn’t be withdrawal but I had very very light spotting last month for 3 days and assumed that was my withdrawal so really hoping this is my first AF!

Fingers crossed for you that it’s maybe going to be a bfp rather than AF

Ladies I've woken up to very light bleeding. I hope this isn't AF as I'm only on CD21 and 7 days post ovulation. Could it be implantation possibly it is it too early? Xoxo

It could be implantation at 7 days. Just keep an eye on it. If it’s not you may need to take a supplement to stop early spotting. That’s one of the reasons I take magnesium.

Thanks @Karigan1! I haven't had period like cramps or anything so I was a bit surprised this morning

Ooh this sounds exciting @gossipgirl28! Fingers crossed and baby dust your way xx

How's everyone else getting on? xxx

AF has stopped (already) after only 1.5 days of light bleeding. Strange Ah well.

@LifeOfRiley63

Could your bleeding actually be implantation also. I read it can last up to 2 days. Was it very light?

@gossipgirl28 I'm not so sure, I've been thinking that too. It wasn't light enough to be spotting but it also was nowhere near heavy enough to be considered a proper period as tampons were barely even half used.

Just read this which confuses me even more.

@LifeOfRiley63 interesting article. How long did your AF last when you were regular? My AF is about 5 days.

I'd mayb test in a week? That's when I'm testing xoxo

@gossipgirl28 Before I went on the pill they'd last about 3 full days.

Think I'll do same as you. I had a stonking headache yesterday and major moodswings. Who knows??xxx

@LifeOfRiley63 Has yours completely stopped? This is day 2 of mines and its still very light and not filling a pad or barely touching it but when I wipe each time or go to the toilet its definitely there its just not really flowing out and seems thick, im still having cramps too! But im putting it down to just a really light first period.

@Tinker315b Pretty much, barely anything there when I wipe. Very confused.

Well at risk of tmi was it red fresh blood? If not then you could be in for a chance!

Just reading this thread as I've had similar issues with my cycles before, I've found that the light bleeds were breakthrough bleeding rather than true periods. So I hadn't actually ovulated but the uterine lining would shed. Some people still get heavier bleeds when that happens but it can explain a light bleed in a long cycle.

@LifeOfRiley63 Maybe do a test in 4-5 days time and see as yours seems very light and short so may be IB. Mines is now heavier and on the pad and is now a flow so it took a day to get heavier!

Cramps were just my body taunting me again, they’ve disappeared today and no sign of AF. Never thought I’d be actively TTC and wishing for my period to come!

@PickettBowtruckles Cramps are a good thing! I had cramps every other week from I stopped the pill, had really bad cramps all of last week and was convince AF would be there the following morning and then nothing, the cramps disappeared again then on Tuesday morning when I woke up the cramps started and 3 hours later AF arrived! It’s so so frustating. How long are you off the pill? Sorry if I’ve already asked this!
