I'm gonna track it here...

I've finally started menstruating again... after almost 2 years without it.

I thought I'd started a couple times before... but this time it's a real flood not just a pink tissue.

Not that any of you really care about it... but I'm going to track it anyways.

gr33n3y3z replied: lol
Good idea

PrairieMom replied: ok

MyLuvBugs replied: Very good idea!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Cramping today.... and I'm really bitc*y.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Well Yay for Christmas Periods.



14 days exactly since I was cramping... I guess that was my ovulation... lol



ETA FMI - 33 day cycle

Hillbilly Housewife replied: November 22nd - to December 24th...that's 33 days, that's how long my cycle is. Maybe.

Which means that technically, my "next" one should be on January 27th... meaning my next ovulation would be on the 13th of January.

We'll see.

mom2my2cuties replied: GOsh, I wish my cycles were that far apart. I have 21day cycles...

Hillbilly Housewife replied: They used to be longer.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Ok so yesterday afternoon I had some sharp pains in my left side.... and I was really...uh... not-nice.

ETA - I just read my past posts that said that I could expect it around the 13th of january... well we're the 12th today and I cramped yesterday. So maybe my cycle is getting shorter. Dang!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Had quite a few cramps today. Could be cuz we DTD 3 times in the last 48 hours... which like, totally never happens.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I'm on Day 3 btw.



Ok so this means I ovulated on the 10th... because I got my period on the 24th. I woke up with it, how nice.

So this cycle was 30 days. Yeehaw.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I THINK I ovulated over the weekend. I think.... I'm not sure.

I didn't get any pains... but was... um... hot for my hubby.

Which would make me have my period around the 24th of February.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: 20th, around 9:30pm is when I started.

ETA - makes this cycle 27 days long

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Still no sign of AF.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Phew. Started last night.

sunrosejenn replied: I track mine on http://www.cyclespage.com I've been using it since Aug 1998 and LOVE it

Kentuckychick replied: I really have to lol at this Rocky because honestly when you first said you were going to start keeping track I had started my period that same day. Of course as usually occurs everyone's cycle goes off by a few days here and there and I figured I couldn't ya know, track along by just watching for when you post, however, I swear to you we have started our periods on the EXACT same days every single month since december.

So apparently I just need to start using you as my tracker...

Hillbilly Housewife replied: That's so funny!!!!



Ya know, "they" say that women who spend a lot of time together will adjust their cycles slowly to be together... lol

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Well Rachel, you're SOL for this cycle... I forgot to track my ovulation.

Kentuckychick replied:
lol, well I apparently had a cyst this month so I know EXACTLY when mine was!
I should be starting by the end of this week... I swear it seems like the time between is getting shorter! I think the weeks are just going faster.

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
lol!!!

I kinda like when I have cysts.... exactly for that reason.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: This is creepy. I started this afternoon, around 2pm.



23 day cycle? Ew.

Kentuckychick replied:
Okay... lol... I woke up this morning cramping but haven't started yet... just thinking I definitely will.

So yeah...
Craziness.

Apparently it's just so close to clockwork.

Kentuckychick replied: .... or not....

Well here it's Thursday and still nothing but cramping.

I woke up this morning in horrible pain which felt very much like a cyst rupturing so I'm thinking that's the cause of delay.

But it definitely looks like I won't be playing along at home anymore!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: So what about his month? lol

I started sometime this afternoon... I had a feeling this morning, so I wore protection... and just now I noticed I had some blood.

So...26 day cycle this time.

Kentuckychick replied: Still waiting over here so we definitely aren't sychronized anymore lol!

According to that "cycles page" that another member suggested I shouldn't start until Friday, but considering my last period was wonky who knows.

I'm hoping it continues to hold off since we leave for a two week trip to the beach in 2 1/2 weeks and the longer it holds off the less likely I'll be to start on the trip so fingers crossed!

Kentuckychick replied: Welp I started today... which sucks as my ex boyfriend whom I haven't seen in a while (we only broke up because he moved away) is coming to visit today and it's horrible timing to be all crampy.

According to the cycles page my cycles have been;

30 days
24 days
26 days
31 days
29 days


yeah my "average cycle length" changes each time
so apparently I'm just unpredictable!!!

MyBabeMaddie replied: I don't know if someone already mentioned it, but if the unpredictability of your cycles is bothering you why don't you try the pill?

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Because they make me wayyy too emotional.

No seriously though, I'm supposed to be getting an IUD at the end of June. My doctor doesn't want to give me one while I'm taking my anti-depressants... but since I'm weaning from them slowly... by the end of June I should be pretty much done with them. Hopefully.

On another note... dh is in big big trouble. We had a little bit to drink 2 nights ago... and before I "realized" what was going on... dh had gone from being frisky to being where he shouldn't be...

I guess you could consider me on panic mode for the next couple weeks.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I think I am ovulating today. (Thank God!)

I am cramping on my left side. Owww.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Started last night.

Mommy2Isabella replied: LOL ... this is too funny! LOL I was wondering what it was all about ... hahah!

Sorry I Can't sympathize with you guys or track for that matter. With us, I think I get mine once a year. Last time I guess I would have had AF I wound up PG with Bella, and I guess thats what happend this time as well .... So wait, not once a year, like once every 18 months ... WOW

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I think I'm ovulating. Light cramping last night, and the sticky stuff. Today too.

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
And still this morning...

Hillbilly Housewife replied: And I started today. Sort of. Major cramps - which I don't usually have. And only barely pink when I wipe. Not that ya'll needed to know that.

I should have frickin known though. With my frickin mood swings today... I shoul dhave counted back 14 days.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Oh and I guess is was a 29 day cycle? 30 days?

A&A'smommy replied: Totally counted for you it was 28 days First day of last af was 7 to the 5 since today counts as day 1 of this cycle that would be 28 days

Anyway is it still light??

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Thanks! lol!!

Yes, still very light. Like, almost non existant light.

A&A'smommy replied:
are you sure your not pg???

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Lady, that's not even CLOSE to funny.

A&A'smommy replied:
sorry!!! Are you normal today??

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Yep.

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: Whew ! Close one !

A&A'smommy replied: Whew glad your normal again!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: No kidding. We are REALLY careful though. I don't think we've dtd more than 3 or 4 times in the last 4 months.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I think i'm ovulating. Yesterday was slimy. Today I can feel a cyst.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
That's nearly to the level of "careful" we follow here in Idaho. LOL. We're like 2-3 times in the last year. No worries for me.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Stiiillll slimy.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I'm sooo confused. I thought I'd start on the 28th, which was 14 days from when I could feel my cyst. But on the 18th, I was still... uh...gooey. Which would bring the date up to the 1st of august, for 14 days later.

I'm so confused. No indication of AF being on her way.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Still no AF.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Started early afternoon.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I think I am ovulating... it's been a couple days of the egg whites.

I'm kind of concerned. The other day, one of our... contraceptives... didn't quite do the job.

Our Lil' Family replied: Hmmm, wonder if my dream will be accurate!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I started on the 3rd.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: So I think I ovulated on Monday. Really bad pain on my right side. Only lasted that one day, and I hd the EWM

Hillbilly Housewife replied: started on thursay morning

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Started Saturday (27th) afternoon.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I'm getting a little worried.

No sign.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Still nothing.

Sh!t I hate this...... I did take some antibiotics a few weeks ago that may have messed wth my cycle... at least that's what I'm hoping.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Here's hoping it's antibiotics, Rocky. KUP

CantWait replied: Hmmmm that's like almost a couple weeks late from what I'm seeing Rocky!!!
Ummmm KUP, I'm kinda hoping for it not to come secretly.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
Marie, that might just be evil!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Oh you MEANNNNN lady!!!

Going to buy a test today.

AAAARRRRRGGGGG (*&^(*&^#$ (*&@#$*(&#^$ I'm supposed to be getting fixed withint the next few months!! AAAAARRRRRGGGGG *&(*&^(*&^(*&

Kaitlin'smom replied:

moped replied: Any news here?

A&A'smommy replied: hello what did the test say????

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I just took one about 15 mintues ago.... it says negative.

CantWait replied:
What can I say, I'm an evil person.

At least it's negative for now Rocky. Hang in there.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Thanks

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Well it looks like I completely skipped it. I think i'm going to be ovulating within a day or 2...

A&A'smommy replied:
how did you manage that one?

grapfruit replied:
Are you sure?? Did you ever take another test??

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I was on some meds in november. It's probably due to that. No, I haven't taken another test.

I don't know, I just don't know!

A&A'smommy replied:
I'm thinking you should take another test!!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Shush!

Calimama replied: It's probably just the meds!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Started it tonight, I think...
