I got my period. :( Instead of my usual 25 day cycle, it was a 28 day cycle. Thanks for all the advice and well wishes, I'll see what happens this month and go from there.</p> <p>Is it possible my body is STILL regulating its cycle after getting off depo? I don't remember how long my cycle was pre-birth control (seems like a million years ago), but I haven't had my hormones checked and was thinking before last week that it's time to see the RE again..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hopeful#post-2306222 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 11:07:04 +0000 erinbaderin 2306222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be that you're pregnant and it's too early to show up, but it could also be that you're just having a longer cycle than usual. I was TTC for five years and every so often I'd be 3 or 4 days late and would make myself crazy, but it was always just my body being a jerk. </p> <p>One other thing that jumped out at me, though, that you might want to think about - if you're ovulating on day 17 and have a 25 day cycle, that is a really short luteal phase. Have you had your hormone levels checked? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hopeful#post-2306217 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 11:03:58 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2306217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck! I hope you get your :bfp: soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hopeful#post-2306203 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 10:49:48 +0000 Alivoo01 2306203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Starting a new anything or stress always throws off your cycle. Maybe you ovulated later than normal? Either way, good luck on your journey and welcome to the hive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hopeful#post-2306186 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 10:37:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2306186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no advice, but want to say welcome and good luck :happy: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hopeful#post-2306137 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 09:57:46 +0000 ms.line 2306137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@helloimkate: If you ovulate on Day 17 of a 25 day cycle, it could definitely be too early for you to get a BFP. My DH has really low count (and motility and morphology), and I finally got pregnant the cycle after I started seeing an RE. That was also the cycle after my half marathon (so I had stopped training) and the cycle I got an SGH (which has been anecdotally linked to higher fertility) - I have no idea of either of those things contributed, or it was purely coincidence. Good luck to you - hope your BFP comes soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hopeful#post-2306111 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 09:41:22 +0000 helloimkate 2306111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, I'm new! I've been trolling this site and these boards for months now and have never posted, but decided to today.</p> <p>I need your guidance/hopeful thoughts/not sure what I need (maybe you can relate to that feeling?)</p> <p>DH and I started the TTC process two years ago (!) when I decided not to get my next depo shot. Took 6 months to get my cycle back and then another 10 months for it to regulate again (looooong story along the way of using clomid, progesterone, etc to kick start ovulation, but not using the guidance of an RE to do it and my OB at the time wasn't very uh, helpful.....) By the way -- anyone else have a horrible time going off depo?</p> <p>Also found out through the process that DH has a low count. Normal motility, but a low count. (Can't remember the numbers from his last SA). Since my cycle had begun regulating (23-25 days, last few months 25 days almost on the nose) the wonderful RE we saw said we should try temping/charting for a few months and see what happens. But we might need to start planning for IUI.</p> <p>So, I've been temping since spring (couldn't seem to get OPKs to work for me), and I think I ovulate about day 17 (but anyone else seem to have issues with only temping too?</p> <p>I'm getting to the point! I swear! Sunday was Day 25. It's Wednesday (Day 28) and I haven't gotten my period. (I feel like by just writing this, it's going to start now.......)</p> <p>I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative. I have no real "symptoms" (maybe some headaches?) -- could I be pregnant anyway?</p> <p>Other details -- I'm training for a half marathon, but not so hard (I'm a beginner) that I feel like it would mess with my cycle (I still eat all the food.) But because it's crossed my mind, I'm putting it here!</p> <p>Anyone have a BFN but then wind up pregnant anyway? Any runners out there who have issues with training/their cycles? Anyone out there with low counts -- what did it take for you to get a BFP?</p> <p>Thanks so much for any guidance you can give! We are soooooo hopeful (like you). </p>
