It's a Good Thing He Got a Vasectomy
I have been waiting for my period. I have always been a right as rain kind-of gal. Every 28-29 days, depending on whether I ovulated on day 13 or 14, it would come. The only time I ever had a 30 day cycle was when I was on Clomid. Obviously I am not taking Clomid. The thing is this is cycle day 32, I had to check, and I am still waiting. This is the second time this has happened in the last 6 months. So now I'm worried. Is my body entering perimenopause, whatever that whole phase involves? Or am I going into premature menopause? I mean, how do you even know something like that? I'm only 34; I'm not ready for my body to start changing. I thought I'd finally figured it out. I also am sure that I ovulated. I had it pegged on day 16. After going through all the infertility stuff..the charting, temperature taking, etc. etc..., I am really good at knowing what's going on with my body. Hubby had the old snippity, do-dah, as we refer to it here, back in July. Therefore, knowing again from the infertility, that sperm recycle themselves every 3 months and it's been eight, it is mathematically impossible for me to be pregnant. (No, he never did go to have it 'checked' out, but I figure if 38 million sperm couldn't get me pregnant, I doubt that 2 could!) Although, Hubby and I have been joking about how freaked out we'd be if he hadn't! What do you guys think??? Has anyone else had perfect cycles and then suddenly they went a little wacky. Please, do tell.

I was pretty predictable until I met lupron. I don't know when I will have a cycle because I took one injection. While on the injection I had period pain, endo pain, back pain, but the kicker, the lupron made it last for 9 days.
Before lupron I'd have the same symptoms, look at the calander and realize, yep this is why. I'd have 2-3 of really intense pain. Now, with lupron the first 2 weeks are worse, I had horrible bone thorough bone pain with it. The dr was generous and gave me an rx for pain pills, for get this 2 days. A week later he did the same thing. Since I told him I pretty much refuse to keep the course of the lupron, he's trying to pass me off to a pain specialist. My second shot would be due on 3/6 opps, I missed the second one becasue it's helped. This really is an awful drug.
There's got to be better pain management then lupron. I asked how long 1 injection takes to leave the body, because of course.
We might disscuss, #2. We want a planned one as in me getting the right nutrion things like that.
How ever my depression scares me so much that I don't know if I can give up 9 months again. My depression was untreated through out my pregnancy and ended shortly after I was done being pregnant. My ob at that time, didn't treat me and I asked. Eventually they gave me something but I suffered it out. I cannot do that again.
At least I'm off the paxil and i had no withdrawl symptoms, especially in the first few days.
Sorry I'm writing so much, I'm just in so much shoulder pain between doing work at work, doing school work at home, then doing the bratz dolls hair those dolls have some funky styles. Their accessories are so super tiny.
I do have 2 trips planned, one in May for my birthday and one in July to make my niece's 16th birthday she;s the one who lost her dad. So, Chloe is so excited about going to the beach.
Pre-Brody, I was like clockwork. You could set a clock by my periods- ovulation on day 16, period started on day 27. Now I'm all over the place- 23 days, 25 days, 29 days... it's so irritating! With my shitty luck, it probably is perimenopause, since my mom went through menopause really young.
I was waiting for mine today...kinda hoping I would be pregnant, though we're not officially trying, but alas, I'm not. I really was thinking I was becoming more like clockwork, but I guess I was wrong. Before kids it was way more unpredictable. I guess what I'm telling you is, I have no advice or guess as to what's up with your cycle. I bet that when you are itching to reach for a HPT, you'll get it.
Thanks Jen, Kate and Colleen! Your comments really helped me to see that maybe it's normal to have changes to my cycle. Thank goodness we have this outlet to ask other women about these things!
