My friend allerted me to the info in the TCYOF book that I need to call my OBGYN if I have post-ovulation bleeding yet have negative preg. tests. I called my OBGYN since I was already calling the clinic for my husband. Surprisingly, I got a call back from the nurse less than two minutes later saying that my OBGYN wanted me to come in at 10:20 Monday morning! I'm sooooo curious as to why the big rush. They're NEVER in a hurry to call me back! Crazy, huh?!? I'm not scared or anything. I'm just so curious. I'm sure my LH is messed up since that has to be the hormone registering on the LH strips and not hCG, and LH is supposed to be at its lowest level right now. How bizarre, huh! I'll keep you guys posted!

Ouchy is it possible you could have an ectopic pregnancy??
post-ovulation bleeding counts as a bit of spotting, right?? or breakthrough bleeding??
Either way, keep us updated and let us know if you need anyting, k??

i figure if it were ectopic they'd want me to go to the e.r. instead of coming in on mon.

I am so scared that this period is going to be hell. I feel the all-too-familiar bloating-type cramps that I had 2 periods before I got pregnant. I guess this is a wakeup call for me to get back to business eating more healthily!
I am scared to be in a fetal position, all curled up in a little ball...when there is a baby who needs to be taken care of! How do I change her diapers and nurse her when I'm in a little ball? I would LOVE to try my hypnobirthing techniques during the bad cramps...but I have to be relaxed and concentrating for that. Might be a little difficult when someone is trying to walk all over the place!

So, I didn't start today but fully expect to start tomorrow. I had bad cramps last night and some throughout the today, but I didn't start bleeding. I expect to tomorrow bc of how low my temp. went today, and I expect it to drop below the coverline tomorrow.

I am back. WOW! Tiff's doctor was right. When you're breastfeeding, you CAN ovulate, not get your period, and NOT get pregnant! It's basically like taking POP's (progestin-only-pills).
Basically, the lining of the uterus gets so thinned from lack of estrogen while breastfeeding, that you can actually have an estrogen rise enough to ovulate, yet the lining not be enough to shed to cause flow...just spotting (like what I had on cd 4).
Bubs is trying to open the closet door, so I better make this quick.
He did a pregnancy test (urine), estrogen test and progesterone test (both blood).
GTG.

haha! Don't have the lab's results yet. All my HPT's have been negative. Didnt' take one today but did a couple days ago. They were neg.
Oh yah. and LH can increase and fluctuate after O'ing while you're bf'ing. Normally, it would be at its lowest point!

Okay. Estrogen test isn't back yet, but progesterone test shows that I did ovulate and am in the luteal phase. Pregnancy test is negative. I'm on 16dpo and am NOT pregnant! How weird is that?!? Now, the other weird thing is...since I'm in the luteal phase.....do I just keep charting high temps and then one day my temp will fall and I'll start my period? ?? This is totally bizarre to me and goes against everything I've learned thus far! Aghhhh!

Ouchy -
I usually ovulate on day 13 and do not get my period till about 28dpo. So my two week luteal phase is all high temps and then one day... I get a total drop in my temp and the day or two after I get my period!! And I have had some dips in the middle of my luteal phase, as well. But usually I get the dip around 26/27dpo.
