Humor Me...

So here's my somewhat abbreviated story. Got a BFP on Thanksgiving only to have it turn into a chemical and started bleeding on 11/26. Had my period from 11/26-12/1 which is slightly longer than usual for me bc I'm usually only 4-5 days.
My cycles have always been around 26 days but this past one that I had a chemical was 30. I noticed EWCM on CD12, 13 and 14. (12/7, 12/8 and 12/9). How many DPO would I be now and when should I assume I'm "late" for my period if i've always been around 26 days and this past one was 30?? Do I go by my usual 26 or 30? I'm not looking to start testing too early, just want to make sure that when I do test I'm actually "late" for AF. (if she doesn't show up before hand of course!)

Sorry if this is confusing - I am totally lost this cycle and I feel like I have no clue when AF could (but hopefully WONT rear her ugly head)

Thanks!!!!

Re: Humor Me...

I think anything can happen after a chemical. Me personally, I've had two chemicals, and both times AF has arrived on her normal day 26. That said, it could be longer for you. I'd hold out as long as you can to test.

The bleeding you had on 11/26 IME would not be a period. It was the chemical pregnancy being released from your body. I had a chemical on 9/14, bled for 5 days, and then had a normal period on 10/18. My doctor told me your period can come once you've had 20 days on no bleeding after the last bleed of a chemical. HTH, but it doesn't sound to me like you've even had your first post-chemical period.
