Excuse me if this is in the wrong spot... I haven't been here in a few months and can't find the newbie thread. I've been tracking my cycles for the last five months, and they have been exactly 28 days in length. We decided to wait until the end of the year to ttc again (not totally avoiding, just if it happens it happens), so I stopped tracking my cycle this month, but I remember the day I had EWM and it's right on track with the last five months. All signs point to the fact that I'm four days late. I had a little bit of brown discharge on what was supposed to be CD1, but that was it (I'm under no illusion that it was implantation bleeding). No symptoms, period or otherwise, except being kind of moody. I tested yesterday and today, both BFNs. How long should I wait before I go to the doctor to see what's going on? I'm refusing to get my hopes up about this, and thyroid problems run in my family... If I'm not preg, the weird cycle could be due to that, but if I am, I don't want things to go too long without getting my levels checked. Thanks so much in advance

unless you are temping, you dont know your O date. You could have ovulated later than you usually do. Rule of thumb is if you go 60 days without a period call your dr. Test once a week until you either get AF, a + , or hit 60 days.
Newbie blog is at the top. *first thread on the page

Honestly, I'd wait up to CD60 before doing anything. You don't know when you ovulated (you know that EWCM isn't confirmatory) so you're just waiting around for something to happen and going 60 days is perfectly fine.
I don't think you should jump to the conclusion that one potentially wonky cycle means thyroid problems. Is there more to why you have this conclusion in mind than just the one off cycle?
Sometimes cycles are just weird.
Unfortunately, none of the women in my family have a functioning thyroid... My doctor has confirmed that my function is falling, it's just not at a level to start meds yet. It's more of a when than if.

+1 about cycles being weird. I normal O on CD28-CD30 but this month, I'm 99% positive I O'd CD16 and we almost missed out for this cycle because I wasn't expecting it.
Do you know exactly where you thyroid levels are at right now? When is the last time you were tested?
A few years ago. My doctor has adamantly refused to retest me unless I had a major change in health, but I finally switched to a new doctor and am getting retested in a few weeks.
How is your endometriosis? Did your doctor confirm your pelvic prolapse? kirstinlee,
It causes me a lot of pain, but it's more in my hips and bowels than reproductive organs. I unfortunately had to cancel my appointment for the pop and have been unable to reschedule, so that remains up in the air.
