 Topic: Unpredictable Period
Posted: 04 April 2008 at 8:41pm |

Right, well my period, even since going of the pill about 5 months ago never comes at the same time for example, last month i got it on the 10 march and then got it again on the 30. I never know wat day it is coming or even around about when it is coming and with TTC no 4 it makes it abit difficult.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with there period and did it affect you when you were TTC.
Thanks ladies

Mine wasn't terribly irregular, but I paid no attention to it!! I started tracking just my period (not temperatures or anything) on FF about 18 months ago, and that was really helpful! Even though they aren't always the same length, I have an idea of when it's coming.

I am also ttc #4 and my cycles are abit over the place too. I posted a thread about my cycles and you'll see from a simple calender where I have marked af etc. Its a bit frustrating. I really didn't want to get into temping etc, but may have too.
I am getting bloods done on day 3 and 21 of my next cycle to determine my progesterone levels.

I dont really want to get into doing the temp thing either. I just figure that with getting pregnant twice before without a problem that it will happen when its meant too, but man this period thing gets abit annoying.

I am sort of the same philosophy (sp)...it'll happen when i happens. But we are into our 6th month of trying now. I have 3 kids but from a previous marriage and my partner now doesnt have any kids. We have gotten pregnant before but I have miscarriaged. I just hope it happens soon and its sticky, this is stressful! I take my hat off to the couples that can keep going for so long!

I noticed your ticker says a 21 days cycle. This is very short. Are you baseing this on your march cycle only, or were the others short too?

I just based that on my march cycle, before that it was 28 days and i guess it was more closer to 28 then 21 with all my other periods. Think i might change it back to 28 days and see wat happens this month, if we get pregnant or if its a longer cycle and go from there. Hopefully it will get back to 28 days or there abouts maybe it wanted to muck me up this month.
Yes does get abit stressful, for some reason i really want this to happen now, i think i just need to chill out and let it happen when it wants to but thats easier said then done.
In case you are wondering why i am posting so late, i'm waiting for my hubby to get home from spot lighting, can't go to bed without him when i know he is coming home, sounds crazy but thats me.
Think i will have to go to bed soon though cause my eyelids are starting to get heavy.

My periods used to be a little irrgular and when I started charting I discovered that AF always arrives 14 days after EWCM, regardless of whether I had a long cycle or short cycle. temping was no use at all though, and I found it a bit of a hassle, but with EWCM all you have to do is pay a bit of attention for a few days around roughly the middle of your cycle when you go to the loo - pretty simple really!

Am familiar with this! First cycle off the pill was 28 days (I thought great, I'm finally text book!); next was 56. I gave up on charting my period and went by signs of ovulation, mostly cervical mucous.

I am over irregular AF
I came off the pill in August and they have been ranging from 37-43 days except this cycle - i am on day 52 and no AF - some people have had two chances of TTC during this time
I have had a few BFN including one at the doctors today. She has arranged a pelvic scan and bloods for me so if we can start to see what is going on - My scan isn't until 23rd so now I just wait.
