feeling lost...
So here I am on 46 days into my cycle, having had many symptoms that could've easily been AF or Preg. I have a doc. appt today-- to get a blood test. Needless to say, I woke up to AF's arrival. I'm so confused; so lost. I have no idea what's going on. I know we're only 2 months into TTC, but on top of losing an entire month, I don't even know what my next steps are...
DH was upset too, a little more concerned than anything-- my cycle has never been this long. He asked me when the next time we could try was--when I thought I would ovulate next-- I just stared blankly at him b/c I seriously have no idea. I don't even know if I should bother going to the doctor's appt. today. After all, there's no need to get a blood test now...
Sorry for the vent. I just needed to get it out. Pity party over.

Re: feeling lost...
I totally understand your frustration. I swear...it's a cruel/funny joke our bodies play.
I know for myself..I always was so "normal" with my cycle every month, now since TTC....I have never been more screwed up! 
Keep your spirits up. We all have too!
One thing we always need to remember...we must enjoy TTC...its all part of our journeys!

Re: feeling lost...
I hope you are keeping your appt today. You need to figure out why your cycle os so long. That is just crazy.

Re: feeling lost...
sorry you are feeling this way..
maybe this month you can start using OPK's to see when you would ovulate. it might help you get an idea .

Re: feeling lost...
Are you fresh off of BC? It may take a few months for your cycle to regulate it you are. If not, if you're usually regular, maybe just stress or being anxious this month put it off. Either way- go to the doc and tell them you are TTC, and that your cycles are too long.

Re: feeling lost...
Thank you for the hugs and encouragement...it means a lot. I called the doctor's office and nearly choked up in tears when I asked if I should cancel my appt.-- The doctor still wants to see me and talk things over, so hopefully I'll come home with a gameplan and a better sense of control over my cycle.
I came off BCPs in January. Since then, my cycles have been on the longish side b/w 31-33 days. This month threw me for a loop b/c I had so many symptoms that I've never had nor contributed to PMS-- I think that's why I feel so defeated right now b/c I was sure I "missed" my period, not that it was extremely late and that my "symptoms" were a sure indication that I was pregnant-- of course I never got a BFP, but I actually convinced myself that I was just one of those people that couldn't rely on HPTs... so dumb, so irrational!
