Unsure- irregular cycle help

[Gingerandjasmine]

Hello!

I have been having cramps, nausea and fatigue for 3 days, feeling threatened by AF but having no blood or discharge and had a BFN this morning. DTD cycle day 8 and 26, no clue when ovulated.

My cycle can run between either 24 to 32 days. I am currently on day 28, so I am currently in limbo thinking either I am or I ain’t and I’m making myself stressed because I just want to know 😂 happy either way just want some clarity.

Anyone else in limbo or have any advice ?

Oh no, sorry to hear! If it's any commiseration, I took a clearblue test this morning and it's a negative. So, I've just had what was my period too. I was convinced that it was IB. How we lie to ourselves

@EasterBunny7
I know I’ve been thinking on and off if it was IB, I have cramps and I’ve just been wiping brown even with some near black (sorry tmi but we are all human 😂) just some red but mostly brown, not enough for a tampon yet ! But I’m on day 32 of my my cycle so I can’t imagine anything but AF... if I wasn’t continuing to have my cramps I think I would suspect but could be wrong !

Sorry to hear about you af arrival, next time !

@Gingerandjasmine - Sorry to hear this cycle isn't the one, but I guess now you know where you're up to and can await the next one. Fingers crossed!

Nothing for me yet - day 34. This has never happened to me before, except in the months after stopping breastfeeding last time (it took a while for my body to adjust).

Still getting negatives on the cheap test strips. Waiting for day 35 to do the more expensive test stick! Although convinced it'll be negative too.

@Gingerandjasmine - I have now joined you! AF has started to arrive, so it appears I ovulated later in the month than usual (I've discovered it's possible to have more than one LH surge - I had no idea before). I think stress delayed my ovulation. But at least it's an end to the uncertainty.

Try acupuncture to get your body in the best condition to conceive. It’s got a good track record where I am in Scotland as the acupuncturist is very good and specialises in gyno stuff and women’s hormones. She can regulate periods, lighten them and help you plan fertile times once your hormones are balanced.

Periods should be comfortable and regular. We should not feel unwell on them. If we do it’s because our hormones are a little out of synch. Acupuncture can help this, along with many weird things which my GP can’t fix! Also good as I don’t like taking medicines or artificial hormones etc.

£50 a session where I am. Totally worth it. And regular sessions can keep women with a history of mc’s pregnancies going strong.

They have a single professional body, google as the website lists the ones near you. They are about to start up again I believe.

Good luck to all of you ttc

@Elieza - Cheers, I will consider that :)
