Menstrual Cycle Day 24
publishdate29 Comments
What is happening internally?
The corpus luteum continues to release high amounts of progesterone to maintain the uterine lining, though if conception did not happen, the amount of progesterone being release begins to drop due to the corpus luteum dying. If conception did occur the zygote (fertilized egg) is increasing in size and growing every day. The amounts of hCG keeps increasing.
Outward symptoms:
Basal body temperatures remain high above the coverline, though if conception did not occur, they may begin to drop down. Cervix is low, firm and closed, though it may soften a bit and rotate up in preparation for menstruation or as a result of pregnancy. Cervical fluid is dry or it may become creamy or sticky. You may experience bloating or water retention. You may experience a headache. If conception occurred you may have to urinate frequently and may or may not experience food cravings/aversions. Fatigue is another early symptom of pregnancy you may feel.

28th day of my cycle.i feel nausea and frequent urination.i have pcos.am i pregnant....?
My period started on d 10 of nov 2016 and my eggs were collected 25 nov 2016 and were transferd back 28 nov 2016. how do i know my next menstruation day?
Hi. this is my 24th day of periods. i had continuous scan from day 11. the egg was formed with 22mm and was ruptured. i took an hcg 5000 injection. when should i test to check for pregnancy??? can i get a blood test done today?
I'm 19. my period usually lasts 7 days, and is very heavy, but this time it lasted 4 days. it started on monday and ended thursday, but on friday i had a brown discharge. it's the 12th now, and i have headaches on and off. i keep getting hot flashes, stomach cramps, and have to pee a little bit more than usual. is it too early to take a pregnancy test? could i be pregnant? please help.
I started my period on the fourth. it only lasted for three days. on the first and second day, it was heavy like normal. on the third day, it was a little lighter. then, it stopped in the morning or late afternoon. then, the next day, around three or four, a spurt of red color came out and that was it. i haven't had any bleeding since, but i have had a kind of aching tightening sensation in my belly that lasted for about two weeks, but then stopped. then, i had a sensitive to poking period with my belly for a few days. since then, i've gotten a cold, my nipples are tender, i can't sleep on my stomach because of the uneasy feeling i get. my vaginal lips, as i call them, are purple. i've been testing every three weeks or so. my last negative test was on the sixteenth. i want feedback or thought on if i could still be pregnant. i'm planning on testing again on the fifth if my period doesn't start on the 31 or feb 1st.
Hey ladies. at 8 dpo, i took a pregnancy test, and it was a faint positive. i'm now on cycle day 24 and i am experiencing a bad headache and a backache like when i was pregnant back in may. the pregnancy test was just a little pink. not too much, but defiantly noticeable with the pink on both sides where the pregnant line should be. what do you think ladies? ya or nah?
I am on cd24, and i have been having symptoms of pregnancy since 2dpo through to today with constant headaches and fatigue. i took a pregnancy test yesterday and i got a bfn. my stomach is so strong like something is inside, unlike before. could i be pregnant?
What was your outcome? i am having exactly the same symptoms. i am now on day 24. i tested, but got a negative. i will test again in 4 days.
Hi all, i'm on day 24 of my cycle, had a frozen egg transfer on day 19 (6 days ago). i have one week to go for my last blood test (also when my next cycle is due). i have been experiencing mild cramps yesterday and today. my question is, is it my periods coming or could it be possible embryo is implanting, and/or is it to early for implantation?
I commented on day cycle day 19. i'm having lots of pregnancy symptoms. however, i'm now on cycle day 24. i took a test today, an early predictor one, and i was negative. it's supposed to show the result up to 4 days before a missed period. does this mean i'm not pregnant or is it to early still to tell. how reliable are these tests??? i'm having food cravings, a stretching feeling, cramping and smelling everything strong. also, i need to urinate all the time, am emotional, moody, extra tired. i have lots of signs, but is if all in my mind? i will post a comment on day 28 and let you know by then. please respond, anyone wishing for a baby badly and worrying because i'm 42 years old. please let me know if anyone is in the same position.
It could be too early to tell. early hpts don't guarantee a positive result, and recommend that the best day to take it is the first day of your missed period. hang in there, and try again on day 28.
Just curious how this has turned out for you? i am 41 and absolutely exhausted beyond belief in the afternoon, day 24 of cycle. i fully expect my cycle to start (26 day cycles), but is this an age thing?? it's been 3 years since i had my last child and i haven't been this tired except when pregnant.
I wasn't pregnant that month but here i am again cycle day 24 and hoping. we have been at it like rabbits this month, so i'm hopeful. i'm having cramps. i've been having them since cycle day 20. i have very sore breasts and i'm going off foods i normally like. we've been trying for 4 months now. i will let you know how it turns out. i suspect i am having trouble with implantation, not with conceiving. that's my gut instinct.
Hi nicole, i was wondering how did you go last month? did you have a hpt positive in august? i hope so. i am currently going through ivf and had a fet on 1/9/14 i am hoping this time the little bugger implants. do you do anything to help implantation? i know there are a lot of myths out there, but still gotta try these things, lol best of luck!
I wasn't pregnant and here i am again on cycle day 23, with cramping pains for the last few days. i know i ovulated, as i had a positive smile face on cycle day 11. did the babydance on that day, the day after, and two days before. i took a early predictor test today and got bfn. it's so discouraging. my cycles are usually 25 or 26 days long, so i will test again in a couple of days with the early test, although i'm not too hopeful as got the negative result today. i have aback ache, sore boobs, cramps, dizziness, i'm tired. could that just be af coming????
Hi droopsygirl, i too have been trying to conceive for the last 5 months, and each month has been a disappointment. i am 39, and last time i had my son it took 6 months for me to conceive. i guess now i'm just panicking if it's the age thing that's making it take so long. today, i am on cycle day 24 and on the count down, i tested a few days ago with the early test and got a negative, i understand your frustration completely just hang in there, easy to say i know, i hope everyone on here gets the baby dream they are waiting for. it's a long and hard time when your so desperately monitoring your symptoms etc. good luck all
Hi. i've been trying to get pregnant for 10 months since having losing a baby at 15 weeks due to heart defects. i'm 39, so i feel like time is running out, especially having at least one water infection a month, which is draining. x
