Hi

Im 31 and I've been having irregular periods for about 4-5 years. I was disgnosed with mild PCOS in Nov 08 and started metformin at the same time. I fell pregnant Dec 08 & I miscarried just before the New Year, at the time I was approx 5w.

Since the m.c we have had sex lots of times but sadly despite supposedly being most fertile I never fell pregnant and got my first AF on Friday.

Prior to the AF I had had a range of symptoms that could have been AF or BFP related. My hormone levels were tracked to 13 at the EPAU early Jan and I tested BFN a few days later with a home preg test.

24th Jan after intercourse I had some light pink spotting which lasted just under an hour, followed by a light brown discharge for 2 days. A week later I had the same spotting on an off for 2 days for about 20 mins a time / 4 times each day if that makes sense. The third day I had no spotting or discharge at all. I tested with a home preg test and was BFN

My AF arrived the following day and i immediately passed some dark clots, and stringy blood. In addition to the normal bleeding I was also passing creamy pasty red blood. As the day went on the bleed became more normal and was a medium AF for me. During that first night I had a heavy flow.

The following day the period became more of a medium flow again and as the day wore on it became very light. About 9pm it was almost back to what I would describe as spotting. However once when I wiped I noticed a few small clear jelly type lumps / balls discharge, which is unusal for me ???

Yesterday morning I had very light pink/red spotting and at lunchtime I felt a sudden gush of blood, I went to the toilet and there was a pinky-red / clear discharge which was really stretchy.

The spotting stopped completely mid afternoon yesterday and since then my CM has changed from sticky to watery and now its EWCM. In addition I've had moderate twinges in both ovaries on & off but more so in my left one. For about the last 3 weeks I've had tingly boobs too.

My body is confusing me, surely this discharge cant be fertile EWCM so soon after AF {CD5 today} and also why was my AF so short {approx 2 days} ??

Im unable to use fertility monitors or opks as I have PCOS and recording my temp isnt much use either due to my underactive thyroid so have no ideas how I can predict when Im ovulating .............................just shoot me now lol x

I did post this in the TTC section but didnt get any replies so thought would try in here , at the moment I simply dont know where to be posting lol

Apologies for the above TMI - any thoughts etc will be greatfully appreciated
Cheers xx
 
Has your doctor been helpful in how you can chart things under these conditions? And have you had any bloodwork done to confirm it was a regular period? It almost sounds like you m/c and just didn't know? Not sure. It sounds xtra complicated for you, which I know must suck! hmmmm, have you tried primrose oil? Some folks have said it has helped them regulate their period. I really hope you find better answers on here, good luck! :hugs:
 
Thanks hun, to be honest my GP is useless - I have a specialist for the PCOS but not due to see him til end of Feb and prior to the M/C we werent official TTC but we've since decided thats what we want.

I know what you mean my symptoms are similar to another m/c except the pains and cramps havent been anywhere as near as severe or frequent as last time, that said I guess each m/c is different too. Only thing is I've tested BFN the day before this AF and a week or so before hand so Im as certain as I can be that it isnt another m/c

Havent had any bloodwork done just assumed it was a period. May well try some primrose oil, could be worth a shot !
Thanks xx
 
**UPDATE**

Just checked my CM and its 1000% EWCM its super stretchy too, I noticed when I wiped that it had a pinky / red colour flowing through it - could this be ov spotting?? x
