Title: I'm confused
Post by kimmiedawn81 on Aug 30^th, 2007, 8:41pm

Ok, so my cycle started this past Saturday at 11:30 p.m. I had one that night, one the next night at the same time and one on Monday morning at 9:20 a.m. That's been the last one, but I shadowed pretty hard all day on Tuesday. Nothing since....I'm confused. Has anyone just had 2-3 and that's it? I did up my dose of Verapamil. I was taking 120 mg and I upped it to 240.

Any thoughts?

I've had nothing but hard shadows, up to maybe a 5.5???? for going on 2 weeks now, never had a cycle either start like that or even act like that. Global warming? Damn maybe Gore was right!!!

It seems everytime I start to get a handle on these danged things they morph again.........I'm kinda hoping my cycle will be only shadows!......well a guy can hope!!! Hoping you get a short and out Kimmie.

This thing can be a slippery little devil, eh? I had a gap of several years with nothing but a few baby clumps of shadows. I think just about anything can happen. Right now, you are making me a little jealous! But I'm always glad to hear a little good news on this site.

I really do wish you mild hits and a short cycle. Keep in touch!

I can handle the hits, I usually get 1-2 hits a day....it's the damn shadows that suck!! Hopefully my cycle was 3 days....how nice would that be?

Take care and thanks for the responses.

Lots of PF wishes,

Yes. You increased your dosage with your doctor's knowledge and consent, right?

Other than that, sounds like a gift from the gods to Kim and Brian on their new state of matrimony!

I was to take 120 mg while not in cycle and 240 while in cycle....so I'm just doing as told.

Good. Some people do that kind of stuff on their own, without their doctor knowing about it.

Well, they're not gone. Had one last night. The o2 didn't seem to help very well. Maybe I didn't get to it in time. Oh well.

Sorry to hear it Kimmie. At least he's taking his time with you and not overwhelming your defenses with an all out assault. We never seem to know how any cycle is going to go do we. Wishing you PFDAN.

RATS! >:( I was hoping you would be a three day wonder with the shortest cycle on record.

Hang in there Kim. Sending vibes for PF. May this cycle still be the shortest on record.

I'm so sorry, Kim... [smiley=hug.gif]

Let's keep the hopes up for a very, very short cycle indeed!

PF wishes,
