Good morning - I'm new to the forums. I am not ttc'ing, but have in the past - just tracking cycles. I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility in my early 20's. My cycles were twice a year if I was lucky. Things have changed, i'm down in weight and having avg 35 day cycles. :)
Â
Everything seemed regular until shortly before christmas. AF was on time for xmas however, it ended up being 10-11 days in duration (typically i'm 5-6 days). I've never had AF this long however, it was the same as normal until day 7 where it was just light for the remaining days. (I wasn't stressed during the holidays, that wouldn't have caused it)
Â
CD 2 was sick with a cold,
CDÂ 5 slept for almost 36 hours with a few breaks. - maybe the flu?
CD 7 I became extremely irritable, and had constant headaches almost every day that wouldn't go away. Even DH noted it was worse.
CD 9 I thought something was up and took HPT (-)
CD 12 I got a UTI and dr prescribed antibiotics
CD 10-13 have been more tired than normal, napping/resting after work.
CD 13 I discovered a small red/purplish cluster of veins in bb - I have never, ever had this. This almost disappeared a few hours after I noticed it, and with all the other stuff happening, it made me think maybe I should retest?
Â
So, since AF came, i'm not really sure what to think - is my being sick messing up AF, or should I really take another test? Is there a valid reason to, or am I just reading into this too much? Has anyone else experienced an extended AF? I'm so confused.
