    * Period Question? *

    Hello everyone, new to all of this and working out my cycles and when I ovulate ect.

    Basically I came onto my period last Sunday so I'd be CD7 now, except when I've had periods they've always been heavy for 3 days, then I completely stop bleeding for 3 days and then start again lightly until the end. (Not sure how many days until that is) Do I count the stop of my period as when it stops for the break or when it stops completely? I'm so confused!

    Thank you xxx

    AF is over when you are completely done bleeding. I have a break day after 3 days, too, always have. Usually the break is just 24 hours for me, then I have light flow for one more day, then maybe a final day of spotting.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    I was just wondering when the end is so I can use my period tracker app, it asks when your period ends on there.

    Oh I see. Thanks for letting me know! Just for your reference, it really doesn't matter much when your period ends for purposes of swaying or for TTC - the lining starts to rebuild even as the period is happening.
