Is it normal to get a super heavy period after a really long cycle? Like the lining may have built up way too much?

Yes, because this is pretty much what it's doing.  Also, fun fact, if you would believe my bullshit!OB, this is also why Provera periods are so bad.  Because you're bleeding off twice (or more!) as much flesh as "normal" people! :D

I'm back!

Numbers: I don't really know... I just finished 3rd round of Provera and waiting for CD1

Circumstances: non-existent O/cycles. I've had 3 cycles in the 8 months since being off BCP, but they were all started with Provera.

R/R/CS: None right now, just really ready for CD1. I think I'm going to do accupuncture this cycle.

GTKY: What are your MLK Day plans? We just got back from a long weekend near Big Bend National Park. It was awesome!!!

britterrss!!  Welcome to our new home. :)  I need to start my Provera soon, too, 'cause at CD67 I don't have any excuse why I'm holding out. >_>;;  I just don't like taking meds, okay?!

Edits: Cries because it refuses to tag you. :(
Edit edits: I FIXED IT. :D

:: shakes finger :: Take your meds rama!

Honestly, each time I take it, I get less side effects. This time I didn't have blurred vision! Woot.

I'm just worried about making it so that my body doesn't ever learn what to do.  I'm so frustrated that every time my temp spikes, so do my hopes...only to be dashed a few days later.  It's kinda heartbreaking.

Maybe try rapid fire? Have you done that yet? That's what I've moved on to (thanks to your advice).

ILY and support you to do whatever you feel is best!

That's the plan for the next cycle.  Once I do actually work up the nerve to take Provera (I'm going to try to trick myself into doing it tonight.  Sad that I have to trick myself...), I'll take the next set like my OB told me to, so hoooopefully I'll have a normal cycle somewhere in the vicinity of Marchish.  Jeez, I feel like I'm wasting so much goddamn time. *sigh*

<3 <3 <3 I am so thankful and happy to have you on this "incredible stupid as fuck journey to our families getting our bodies to figure shit out so that we can have families" with you!  And all the WTDSers!

Aw Rama you're making me all teary. It might have a little to do with the massive amount of progesterone I have in my body. But seriously.

Hey ladies,
After my RE appt today I officially go here.
Numbers: 17 months TTC, 13 days post D&C.
Circumstances: We were told at our D&C that we didn't need to TTA but my RE benched us today until after the next cycle bc he thinks that my egg quality isn't awesome and wants to start clomid. Due to this he wants me to have two periods post D&C to make sure I will have an adequate lining.
R/R/CS: I'm about two weeks post D&C and I kinda think AF is around the corner bc of the spotting and crazy cramping that came on today. I feel like this should be unlikely...but I guess I will find out in the next couple days. Anyone else have a period two weeks after MC?
GTKY: I did nothing but veg out and watch tv. It was nice!

Well isn't that fan-fucking-tastic. Thanks for the info! Sorry your cycle didn't work itself out so far. Provera scares the shit out of me from all the horror stories on here. 

Edit: because I put the wrong "your" and just could not let that stand.

FWIW, my period following Provera a couple months ago wasn't much different than my periods have always been.  Maaaaaaybe a little heavier or crampier?  It just seemed like a normal non-BCP period to me. 

I would err on my anecdote being the one you don't bank on, though.

@ramdiculous-bodies are such jerks. Sorry yours needed another month with provera. Come on Ram's body-do your thing!!!

Hello from TB
17 months pp, the 26th my IUD will officially be taken out and then I will start with the charting tracking and temping if I can temp. I had some issues with temping before due to insomnia but I am going to give it a whirl anyway.
I just stayed home and did homework for MLK.

Then in that case...

XP from Newbie Playdate (I'm confused so I'm just looking for some consensus on what others think):

Question on OPKs (I tried them out just for the hell of it to see what type of results I would get).

Is it possible to still get a + AFTER ovulation?

I ask because after I put my temp in FF this morning, FF changed my crosshairs from CD18 to CD20. CP/CM lines up with CD18, so do temps if I use the rule of 3 higher than the previous 6. If I take the OPK results out of FF, it moves my CH back to CD18.

So as I asked above, is it possible to get a + OPK after ovulation? The only time I ever get a + is with FMU, so each day with a positive was done with FMU.

FF link is in my siggy. I'd really appreciate help decoding what happened this cycle. Thanks!

Haha yea....I guess that was really long winded just to ask for a chart stalk.

These are the days in question:

LadyNymeria I don't temp so someone else may be able to give better insight as to if it looks like you actually did ovulate, but I can say that I know it is possible to get more than one positive OPK in a cycle, meaning more than one LH surge, if the first did not actually result in ovulation.

Thanks! Moonandback had a good suggestion in the Newbie Playdate thread to wait and see when my period starts since my LP is really consistent. Then use that to figure out which o-day was right. I'll have to do that - I was just curious in the meantime.

LadyNymeria I'm inclined to believe FF with CD20, actually. How do you check your CM?

I try to stick with TP after using the bathroom, but I will check internally if I can't tell. I also check my CP mid-day, so I basically check CM internally at the same time.

Alright.  The reason I asked is 'cause you may have had some more fertile CM and not realized it if you only check TP.  But that's probably not the case with you. :)  Guess we'll find out in a weekish!

Edit:  For clarity, ten days seems like "weekish" territory to me...even though it's halfway through a second week. >_>;;

Haha, weekish works for me. Thanks for the chart stalk.
