CD 3 confusion/TMI question

I apologize in advance for posting TMI.

So, I finished week 3 of BCP on Tuesday, and expected to get AF somewhere around Friday or Saturday. Thursday, I had some mild spotting. Friday night, I had my usual "AF is about to come in full force" cramps, but only had some light pink bleeding, barely enough to need more than a pantyliner. I figured AF would truly arrive overnight or Saturday. Saturday morning, I had bad cramps again, but only dark brown spotting when I wiped. Same for today. I still have no real flow, but all my AF symptoms are gone. Usually, AF starts pretty much full force, is heavy for a day, then is light for another 2-3 days before disappearing.

When I had my 2nd chemical, last June, I never really bled, only had dark spotting. With this past chemical, I had a full period, but now, after BCP, it seems like all I'm going to have is some dark spotting.

My question is: Do I assume that this was in fact AF, and call Dr. B's office tomorrow morning to make my CD 3 appointment as if AF started on Saturday? Should I email one of the nurses? If so, could someone please give me Linda's email address?

TIA!

Whenever I was on the pill I went in 3 days after my last one.


I can't believe you're already done!

I emailed Dr. B, and he got back to me within 2 minutes with a one word email: "Yes," meaning that I should come in for CD3. I always hate bothering him, but he's the best when it comes to communication!

Honestly, these few weeks seemed like forever, but the break from appointments was good. I'm psyched to get started again, although a little stressed out b/c I'm at the tail end of my dissertation, with a ton to do in the next 3 weeks!

Sometimes that's best. The cycle that went the fasted for me was when we signed the contract for our house and I had an IUI a few days later! Keeping busy will definitely make the cycle go by faster which as you know is a good thing!

I wonder if your protocol will be any different now!
