If mine doesn't show in the next couple of weeks, I will give my dr. a call.<br /> @Smurfette: thank you! I love that movie! I have seriously seen it about a thousand times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-936093 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:29:36 +0000 Smurfette 936093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: I just wanted to say I love your name!!

Well I am sorry that AF did show, but I am sure it was a relieve to figure out what was going on. All of you guys are already making me feel a little bit better, which will hopefully help lower the stress level. But like you said, it's hard!<br /> I will also maybe try temping and just see what happens. I need to do a little more research on it.<br /> @daniellemybelle: thanks for that! It is just weird when they have been so normal and then when you get one out of whack cycle, I go crazy! While I wouldn't want it to happen for anyone, it is nice to see that I am not the only one this has happened to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-936006 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:09:45 +0000 daniellemybelle 936006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had somewhat regular cycles before we got pregnant - usually around 28 days - but then I had one that was 39 days and I freaked out about it. Still, I got pregnant really super easily. I don't think an occasional out of whack cycle is anything to worry about unless they are like 50+ days, or completely all over the map for months on end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935989 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:06:05 +0000 PEAPIE 935989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking the same thing a few days ago! But AF finally came. In my case I think I ovulated later than usual due to stress around O time and that's what pushed AF back a week. Thanks to charting, and some clever HB's, we could kind predict what was going on from my chart. Which relieved a little stress... </p> <p>I would give temping a shot. Just try it for one cycle and see how it works with your schedule. It might not be an issue! </p> <p>And try not to stress, it really does have an effect on your cycle! So also try not to stress that you're stressing too much... Its hard. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935965 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:00:15 +0000 ellewoods84 935965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: lol, well thank you! I am sure everything is a-ok, just wanted to get some second opinions. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935956 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:58:58 +0000 ellewoods84 935956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: yeah, that is what I was thinking. Our bodies do some crazy things, just wish mine wasn't acting so crazy during this process. This just might be my turn for that extra long cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935909 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:46:58 +0000 mlm2934 935909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like maybe you didn't O at normal time this month? My cycles are usually about 35 days long, but about every 4 or 5 cycles I have a crazy 40-50 cycle for no reason </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935901 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:41:53 +0000 pui 935901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: lol you're not crazy! I'm sure AF or a BFP will make an appearance soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935895 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:39:45 +0000 ellewoods84 935895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: No, I haven't taken any sort of birth control for the past 3 years. We have just been using condoms until we finally decided to TTC. </p> <p>Hope you all don't think I am totally cray cray, just trying to figure all this out! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935894 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:39:14 +0000 pui 935894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: Glad I could help! The bees are all very supportive. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935891 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:38:18 +0000 ellewoods84 935891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: maybe. I have been cramping like AF would arrive at any second for about the past 1 and 1/2 weeks, but she never shows. eek, driving me bananas.<br /> @pui: lol, I know! I am trying my very best. I am sorry you are also struggling with missed periods. I am newer to boards (well, new at posting, I have been semi-stalking for the past couple months). Everyone here seems super supportive and I appreciate your support .<br /> @NorCalWayfarer: I have read TCOYF, but thanks for the recommendation! I read it once I knew we would begin to TTC. I know stress can totally throw things off, but of course I cannot help but stress during a time like this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935890 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:37:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 935890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this only your second cycle off birth control? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935880 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:32:20 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 935880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility?

Try and just keep your mind off it! :)</p> <p>I feel you on the stress of a missing period. I think I am infamous around here for mine. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935875 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:31:13 +0000 meredithNYC 935875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like it's possible you might still get a positive. Maybe it's just a little too early? I would keep testing if I were you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935872 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:30:57 +0000 ellewoods84 935872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Okay, thanks so much for the quick reply. I am sure I am just stressing out like a crazy lady. I just need to relax! But geez louise, easier said than done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935869 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:29:17 +0000 pui 935869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Periods can occasionally be late for no apparent reason. There are a ton of things that can cause a delayed period. It's possible you simply O'd late because of some unknown reason. It happens to every woman every once in a while.</p> <p>Since you usually have nice, consistent cycles, I wouldn't worry about it.</p> <p>I would start testing once a week for the next 2 weeks until you either get a BFP or AF. If neither show up by then, I would go to the doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-oh-where-could-she-be#post-935846 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 13:22:03 +0000 ellewoods84 935846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So! This past cycle of mine is about to drive me to the edge. Okay, not really, but I could use some insight. </p> <p>(FYI-We have been TTC for the past 2 months. This is our 2nd cycle trying.)</p> <p>For the past 2 years, my period has been consistently ranging from 33-37 days. Usually, AF will greet me around day 35. I am currently on cycle day 42. So, naturally on the first day of my missed period, I took a HPT. BFN. I wait a couple of days. BFN. I took another one this morning. BFN. Not even a hint of any sort of line. I have been using OPKs for the past 4 months, just to gauge my cycle. I have gotten positive OPKs on days 18-21. I did not get a positive this cycle, but we BD anyways. Our BD schedule was on day 16, day 18, and day 19. Unfortunately, after that, we were not able to BD anymore due our crazy schedule mismatch. So, I really did not think this would be our month anyways. However, where the heck is my period! I would never think I would want it to come, but I kind of just want it to show up so I can get started on the next cycle. </p> <p>I don't track my temps. I work night shift and I think it would be difficult to follow any sort of trend since I wake up different times all throughout the week. I try to track my CM, but this month it seemed like it was here all month. I mean, really!</p> <p>So now that ya'll have some background, what would your game plan be? Is this the kind of thing you would make a gyno appointment for? I was thinking that if AF didn't arrive within 2 weeks of being late, maybe then I would call my dr. up? </p> <p>If you have read all of that, I totally appreciate you. No one warned me that this TTC business was going to make me go crazy! :happy: </p> <p>I know that 2 months of trying isn't really that much time at all and I know it can take much, much longer, but this cycle has me feeling loony. Where oh where is she! Thanks everyone. </p>
