Any idea what might be going on with me this month?

[susan_1981]

I had my period which started Tuesday last week. Was quite heavy with cramps which are normal for me. Usually my period just tapers off at the end but this time, it stopped quite abruptly after 4 days, usually it lasts 5 days, usually with spotting on CD6 and 7. So didn't think anything of it but started taking my temperature again after AF had gone and it only dropped on one day. Ever since, it's been high which is unusal as well. I sometimes have high temperatures while on my period but not after. So that's confused me. Then on CD6, instead of having spotting left over from my period, I had EWCM and I woke up that night with mild stomach cramps. Did an OPK which was negative. So negative that I could barely see the second line. So I'm confused. Could I have ovulated on CD6? I've never heard of anyone ov'ing that early before? Don't think I could be pregnant because, 1, my period was quite heavy and, 2, I've tested a few times, including this morning and BFN. Don't think it's a chemical either because I tested the day before my period was due and it was negative and period arrived on time. Any ideas or could I just be having an off month?

Hi Susan, sorry dont really have any ideas. But yeah i suppose you could of ovulated on or after cd6. I know its very early but im just starting to think anything is possible with this trying to conceive lark! No rhyme no reason to lots of things. I dont bother with taking temps (trying not to over analyse these days!) but an slightly elevated temp sounds promising. Try not to think too much and see what happens, sorry im not much help! x

Hi. I didn't want to read and run but I'm afraid I have no ideas. I hope someone comes along soon who can offer some insight.

How long have you been TTC? I had a mmc around the same time as you and haven't conceived since

Hopes. X

Strange question but have you been drinking nettle tea?

I was drinking this to nousrish my blood after talking to my accupuncturist. Unfortunately we didnt discuss how much and I was drinking a couple of cups a day rather than a couple a week! I started getting loads of EWCM straight after my period around day 6-9 but it was way too early for me to ovulate. I kept forgetting to mention it to mu accupuncturist until it got really bad last month. She told me nettle is an astringent and I guess it was doing strange things to clear me out?

Though, the temps im not sure that I can help with that one!! Have you done anything different this month - herbs, vitamins etc?
