Periods. When do yours arrive?

[Mama Duck]

I know it's a random question but mine tends to arrive before I wake up in the morning. Occasionally arrives during the day but that hardly ever happens.

Mine was due today but no sign as yet

I can see from your signature that AF got you. So sorry!

My Af is so random, sometimes it comes all of a sudden in the middle of the night that makes me jump out of bed and straight to the bathroom... other time it takes a whole day for it to properly arrive and it can be any time of the day

As the pp says it comes when and how it likes - sometimes it creeps up and others it appears with a bang! Men don't know how lucky they are!!

 

[Mama Duck]

Thanks for the replies & Briss my af hasn't yet arrived,was due yesterday so waiting! Mine has always been predictable as what time of day it comes and was just curious if anyone else's followed a similar pattern.

 

[Briss]

Mama Duck, have you tested? that's exciting! fingers crossed it's a good sign

Mine prettymuch always used to be there when I got up but since I came off depo its turned up anytime from 6am to nearly midnight. Coupled with a cycle varying btwn 22-29 days it's always a lovely surprise!!

No! Not yet - going to wait it out for a few more days

Mine come any time of the day, sometimes get some spotting/cramps before it is full on, but they are usually bang on 28 days so can try to be prepared for them.

 

[Briss]

ladies when you get some spotting/cramps before AF is full on do you still count it as CD1 or wait until it's full on (by this I mean it turns red) and then put it as CD 1?

Af got me today but it started with spotting/cramps, not sure if I should skip today and wait for it to turn red before I can put it as CD1? it may then extend my lh stage and reduce my o stage (which is super short as is) so not sure whether this is right

 

[Mama Duck]

arrived yesterday morning. I always count my cd from the day I get a full red flow x

 

[Briss]

Mama Duck, sorry AF got you

I think I am going to count CD1 as the first day I need actual protection/pad (not just a panty liner).

 

[Mama Duck]

Now mine this month is not how it normally is. Yesterday & today the flow has been considerably lighter than what I'm used too - both times when removing the tampon there was still a lot of white material showing,normally none. My periods aren't heavy,they are what I would class as light but this time it is even less.

 

[Briss]

Mama Duck, have you actually tested? maybe it's not AF? you know some women have something similar to AF throughout their entire pregnancy

 

[Mama Duck]

Hi Briss! No I haven't tested and I haven't got any tests (although I may buy one tomorrow when I'm in town). It is lighter than normal so you're right in suggesting that it might not be a 'proper' period x
