Well, it’s been around the last 3 months or so. When I miscarried in June one of the things that was different about that period was a day or two before it started I started having pain in the lower left ribs. It was just in the front too…. a feeling like something was trying to pull them down into the rest of my pain, and also a burning/aching pain…. I don’t know how to explain it. This has also happened with every cycle since. It can start as early as day 10, though I believe that’s only happened the cycle after my miscarriage (I have just started tracking it as I’m wanting to see if there is a pattern to it now that I’m heading into my 4th period with it), since then it’s been within a couple days of my period starting. I’m now on day 19 of my cycle. Looking back at the last year (well… 10 months or so I guess) since my first period off of birth control there is a cycle that says I am likely to start my period anywhere from day 21 to day 28… and I’m going to guess (based on when I seem to have ovulated among other things) that it’s going to one of the earlier days in that range for me. :( That’s where I end up when you average my cycles… right around day 22 or 24. And with other symptoms I’ve been having this wouldn’t surprise me at all. So it looks like it’s time for a period again. :( :( :(
