(You have been warned!)
Good Sunday morning to everyone! I hope today finds you blessed. My family hadn't planned on going to church today, but it's a good thing we hadn't. Yesterday evening, I started my period. I knew I had ovulated and wasn't expecting my period for a couple more days, but God had other plans I guess. That led me to start studying my charts and here is what I found.
Jan 01 - 74 days (m/c Jeremiah)
March 15 - 42 days, O'd CD 29, LP 13
April 26 - 49 days, O'd CD 32 (M/c Chloe), LP 17
June 21 - 44 days, O'd CD 32, LP 12
My January cycle started with my miscarriage of Jeremiah. It was 74 days long. I wasn't paying any attention to my signs or symptoms then because I didn't think I'd see another period for a year or more.
When March arrived and I found myself starting another cycle I started paying a bit more attention, but not enough to really temp or anything. Based on my symptoms I ovulated on CD 29 and my LP was 13 days long.
April cycle was 49 days long. This was the cycle I miscarried Chloe. I ovulated on CD 32 and my LP was 17 days long. Because I was a couple days late, I thought I was pregnant again, but I wasn't. That is ok though.
June's cycle was 44 days long. I ovulated again on CD 32, but my LP was only 12 days long. This time I was using progesterone cream because I know my progesterone tends to be low. Usually, I have to stop the progesterone for a couple days before my period comes, but I was still using it when my period arrived yesterday.
Now this could be a problem because a normal LP is 14 days long. A short LP can keep the baby from implanting so I need to look into that. It is just nice to see some sort of pattern in my cycles. Hopefully, as I lose more weight, my cycles will get closer to normal. I am excited to see what this cycle does.
Blessings,
