Frustrated with cycles!!!?

I got off of the pill in September or October. Immediately afterwards I started getting my period again. It came every 28 days 4 times in a row. Then it seems the second me and my husband started talking about TTC, my cycles started going crazy. One month it was 27 days, then it was 26, now I'm still waiting for my period and if I got it today it would be 29 days. I know I'm not pregnant since we weren't able to be together like that this month due to illness and work. What gives? I know that it can be normal to have cycles that vary by a few days each month but it is so frustrating. We have an almost 2 year old all ready and it's hard enough to find a lot of time to be alone. Anybody else have any experience with suddenly varying cycles? Is there anything I can do to try to regulate my cycles? What do you suggest about calculating ovulation dates? Thanks : )

    Hi! There are so many things that can throw off your menstrual cycle. The stress (and really ANYTHING) of TTC does have an effect on your cycles. You are right about cycles not always being the same length.

    What you might want to do is:

    - start taking your basal body temp each morning as you wake (before moving around too much, getting up from bed or ingesting anything)

    - start taking notice of your cervical mucus

    - start logging all of this info (some easy sites to use for this are fertilityfriend.com or fertilitygal.com)

    - buy some cheap pee sticks to check for ovulation (you can find them on either of the above sites)

    If your period still seems to be off, you need to consult you gynecologist. Taking metronidazole really would not help you in anyway being that it is an antibiotic. Those antibiotics are usually used in woman suffering from bacterial vaginosis or pelvic inflamatory disease...I'm not sure why someone would suggest this for you since you haven't indicated that you have either of the two conditions. I don't think that it is smart for you to take ANY drugs (herbal, otc or from the internet) without having first spoken to your doctor. Only your doctor knows your history and if any of these meds would further improve/worsen your chances of concieving.

    Good luck, baby dust and pls feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. I am also ttc and I'm all too familiar with all of this. :)

    sure you may try the style of ingredient. What you're attempting to do is to bypass some genuine stay micro organism out of your latest tank (it really is now nicely cycled) into the recent gadget. there are a range of of procedures to attempt this. Squeezing some filter out gunge into the recent tank and letting the recent filter out suck it up is one way. once you're attempting this then you genuinely favor to get source of ammonia into the tank so the micro organism you further can multiply and totally cycle the tank. this can nicely be stay fish, in basic terms undergo in ideas the tank isn't totally cycled. even though it truly is been seeded with genuine stay micro organism, so it truly is going to cycle a lot quicker. in case you in undemanding words upload some small fish, then wait, they're going to be positive. it may take weeks for them to make the water poisonous, and in that aspect the micro organism could were multiplying. yet differently is to placed the recent filter out interior the popular tank for some weeks, alongside with the triumphing filter out. Then it possibilities up some genuine cycle, bypass it to the recent tank, and back upload some fish. in spite of you do, the cycle has to have some ammonia to artwork. in case you "seed" the recent tank, then do not upload any source of ammonia then the micro organism steadily die off and also you get a lot less and a lot less by skill of the years. for this reason, seed the tank, then upload some fish next day. Then some more desirable each and each week because the cycle builds up Ian

    i have always been irregular and tried for 4 years to conceive my son who is now 3, after years of fertility treatments he was conceived naturally.

    i am ttc #2 and have been trying to track ovulation by looking at cervical mucous (sorry is tmi) etc.

    i have been trying for 15months without sucess

    there are herbs you can try but when i purchased fertilaid it gave me diareah

    wait it out - you havent been trying that long and stress is contributing. that is why my dr suggested that when i stopped trying before i had my son that is why i fell pregnant

    good luck
