I just need to vent. This is so frustrating. Last month AF was 4 days early. This month I feel like I am getting it today, which is 5 days earlier than I'm supposed to.
I am upset I used to be 33 days like clockwork. Now that I'm really really TTC I'm all over the place.
Thanks for letting me vent a little.

Re: Is AF coming early again? I need to vent..
Do you know exactly when you ovulated? and do you know your normal Luteal Phase?

Re: Is AF coming early again? I need to vent..
I got the surge on the OPK on March 6th (se we did the BD), I dont know the exact day I oveulated though, only the surge day.
As for my Luteal Phase It is between 13 and 14 days long.

Are you sure its between 13 and 14, because if AF is here, that means this month your LP is only 9 days.

AF isn't here yet but it feels like she is coming any time now.
Well the first couple of months the LP was 13-14 days...but that's what I mean, everything is changing and I dont even know what to count anymore

Are you charting? I think I remember you are:
What is going on with your temps?

I didn't chart this month! I forgot the first couple of days and then just didn't keep up with it. Do you think if I start now (tomorrow) it will make a difference?

No it won't! Sorry. I would def chart next month (you can skip the AF days and start on the first morning after she ends) Do oyu have any of your charts online? I would be happy to take a look.

Thank you so much for the advice. I will strt charting again as soon as AF ends. I dont have the charts online, I have them at home.
Do you know where I can find one online?

NP! Unfortuantly, I have been charting so long I am starting to be somewhat of an expert. Let me know if you ever need help.

Re: Is AF coming early again? I need to vent..
I feel for you!
I too am totally confused by my body right now.
According to FF, I won't ovulate until the 25th, so my fertile days will be the 22-24th.
According to the Ovulite (saliva based) I'm fertile this week.
According to my CM, I was fertile last week.
So now I'm fearing that I'm anovulary since my indicators are all over the place.
Next month I'm adding OPKs to the process too.
For now we just BD as much as we can, but I'm feeling TBAF starting the drive to my house and it's so frustrating!! I hate her!!

I've just started tracking, and I find this whole thing so frustrating. I don't have any advice - just support!!
I hope AF doesn't come at all!

YES def use the OPKs!!! That are so easy to use. The online calendars just dont work for me.
I'm so glad all of you girls can relate, it so nice to have that. My other friends just dont get it (unless they are TTC or PG) and my poor DH doesn't get it...not totally get it anyway. Maybe we should just BD every other day and cover all bases.

That's exactly what my DH said to me the other day! I couldn't figure out when I surged. The only good thing is that it's pretty obvious when I'm going to ovulate. So I looked at my ovulatoin calendar and listened to my body, and that's it. I'll try again next month - This time w/different sticks!!

I am sorry to hear this. I was early by two days last month. I wonder if it is because of the stress of us not wanting it to show up it brought it on early. Try not to let it get to you. Just know we are here for you and we understand

This is what my Dh and I did - after months of using the op sticks - my Dr. told me to just start BDing every other day, starting 5 days after my AF - I thought he was crazy - because I ususally wasn't ovulating until day 15 - but I took his advice - (obviously my way wasn't working) and did it every other day for like 2 weeks! Now I am preggo.
