Welp, after all I've been through, AF got me today, after all. The flow still had a weird orange tint in the morning and every now and then I got fluorescent orange/red discharge in the morning, but it now has the proper red tint, it's heavy with some clots and it's coming with very strong AF cramps. So, I'm out. Blah.
I still have a temp above coverline and above the normal period temp, and I've still got the stretchy feeling and other symptoms, esp. after eating, but this seems too heavy for IB. Maybe if it only lasts a day or two, I might still wonder, but I'm assuming this is AF and it will last the standard amount of time.
I read that prenatal vitamins can turn discharge funny colors, and I am taking those, so maybe that was the cause of the funny orange crush color, yesterday. Or maybe that was IB yesterday, and the bean didn't stick.
Perhaps all those symptoms I'd been having this luteal phase were my new PMS symptoms (hormone therapy definitely changed how some things work in my body, since it cured the vestibulitis and since I had more energy in the follicular phase of my cycle than I'd been having the last 4 years). I don't like way the new PMS yanked my chain and had me thinking I could very well be PG, but I'm glad to be rid of the nausea symptom, even though I'm not fond of the burning nipple symptom and the stretchy feeling was rather distracting and chain yanking. Maybe the new PMS symptoms are better for implantation prep and PG health getting off to a good start, though, so maybe it's a blessing in disguise. (Better to have increased than decreased appetite for me).
I still have "being able to ride whatever I want at Disney World/Harry Potter park" as a consolation prize, for not being PG, at this time. And now I also have more time to nest, so that's nice. And I wasn't originally expecting to get PG with C#1, at all (that would have been awfully lucky - I'll be thrilled if it happens within 6 months).
But after all those symptoms, I'm a bit put out to have gotten AF.
But I still feel pretty calm. A bit sad. A bit disappointed. Kinda aggravated - All those symptoms for nothing! 
Not cool for faking me out CL/uterus, not cool. 
So, I'm now at CD1. At least the suspense is over, that's a relief. And I now know that I've got a solid luteal phase and that I ovulated (if OPK and temps say I O'd, I'm assuming I did indeed O), so I'm not at square one. Hopefully, it's just a matter of time.
Until then...

Yeah, BB, that's what I'm going to try to do: go with the flow. I'll just mark my symptoms in case a doc ever wants to know (and just so I get to know my cycles) and not read too much into it, from now on. I don't think I'm going to be particularly hopeful for a particular cycle ever again wrt to symptoms (I never know when my body will pull a fast one). I'll just have to wait without guessing until the 
shows or I get a 
*sigh*...I hate waiting.

YEA .. plus last cycle it was a BIG let down when af showed up .. because i honestly thought i was preggies ! even told my DH before I even tested and we were both let down ..
even though it was our first month trying .. it was still disappointing especially since i had sooo much symptoms .. but this month i decided im not going to be so focused on it .. it will def be in the back of my head but i wont be getting too crazy.. just going to bd a lot more and if it happens it happens
of course ill be very hopefuly for a bfp but wont put sooo much emotions into it this time
im sure we will get our bfp soon !

Those darn symptoms won't fool us again!
FX'd for both of us, BB!
You're encouragement helps me stay positive, thank you.
I just gotta keep thinking "It'll happen soon enough. No reason to think it won't."

News for me...
When AF is having a lighter moment, it's back to looking like Orange Crush!
I'm starting to wonder, if I get a cut and bleed, will that blood be orange tinted too!?
I decided to look up if anyone else has had this happen with regular AF blood (not IB) and plenty of people have gotten this strange orange-y AF. According to this site (https://www.justanswer.com/ob-gyn/1r2wz-cause-orange-ish-red-menstrual-blood.html) AF blood goes orange because of there being a lot of CM mixed in with it. I have had a lot of CM this latter half of the cycle, and I think it might be because I've been drinking all that milk (it's a known phlegm producer for me, which would also effect my CM) or maybe 'increased CM during the luteal phase and AF time' is just one of the new changes to my cycles that has happened after the hormone treatments "rebooted" me, or perhaps a combo of both.
So, now I know if I see orange discharge, it might just be normal light AF blood for me. But it was still too spotty to call a proper period yesterday, I think. I won't be shocked if I see it next cycle (it sure is funny lookin', though!)

Afternoon Ladies
Its very quiet in here today, although Im assuming everyone is busy busy as its the weekend! Have been swimming with dd this morning, and she has been asleep for an hour now, so Im relaxing
Today I classed as cd2 for me, bleeding started yesterday (all be it very light) although today I havent even been bleeding :doh: When I wipe, there is a bit of blood, but its more browny than just red, and its definitely not nearly as heavy as a normal period. On FF, I dont even want to class it as "light" as its not even leaving my body until I wipe. I probably shouldnt have went for my bloodtest yesterday as maybe AF hasnt properly arrived yet?
Ohhh I dont know. When I call to get the results back, what do I say? SHould I ask for numbers, or should I make an appointment with GP so she can go through it with me? Need to buy more OPKs as I only have about 10 left, and Im going to start using them straight after bleeding stops.
I dont know whats going on anymore, ARRGHHH!

Sorry AF got you SmallTownGal. Your cycle really did troll you with all those symptoms. I'm rooting for you. Can't until you get your BFP.
AFM, my nausea is very, very mild and I'm able to eat properly which is a blessing. I've been swapping notes with my sister-in-law who is 2 weeks ahead of me. She has a daughter already and so her help and advice is invaluable. Patiently waiting for my first appointment. 11 days to go.

Well, ladies, I think I may be out for a long time... My husband went in for his latest pet/ct scan to see if he was still in remission and... they scans showed some activity. His Hodgkin's Lymphoma seems to be back
He goes in for a surgical biopsy on Wednesday to see what's going on....
If he has relapsed, all of our focus needs to be on his battle and we can't baby make while he's going through chemo. We will be out for at least another year...
I am... I just don't know what I am... Disbelief, numb, soul crushingly sad and absolutely terrified....
I'll keep everyone posted on what is going on. Please keep your fingers crossed that whatever is showing up on his scans isn't cancer related.

Sorry your cycle is giving you troubles! How frustrating!
It's just awful not knowing what's going on. Hm, I'd probably ask for the numbers and make an appt to go over it with the doc. But if you think the numbers would just worry you, then I'd make an appt with the doc and just go over them with them.
Aw, that's so sweet, thank you!
Glad you aren't having too much nausea
So excited for your appt!

FX'd that it isn't cancer related!I have you both in my prayers.
