Hi Everyone,
I'm a long-time lurker and have only posted on here one time before, but I really need to ask this question.
I didn't track O this month using an OPK. We just BDed EOD during my fertile window (and a little bit outside of it as well). Most likely I could have O'd anywhere from CD17 to CD20. I'm currently CD25 w/ an expected AF on CD34 (cycles are usually anywhere from 31 to 35 days, but seemed to have settled at 32/33 days). I always try my best not to symptom spot because this is month 4 of TTC #1 and I've done my fair share of it. However this morning when brushing my teeth I noticed a decent amount of blood when spitting. Bleeding gums is not common for me at all. The only time my gums ever bleed is when I go to the dentist for my cleaning or when I haven't flossed in a long time and started again. Well my last dentist appointment was in March, and I haven't flossed in at least 2 months (I know, tisk tisk lol). Nothing else has changed. No new toothbrush head (I use Sonicare electric toothbrush), no new toothpaste, no new mouthwash...nothing. I checked my mouth for any cuts and sores and nothing...but my gums do still feel a little sore/sensitive. I also should add that I have very good dental hygiene (aside from the flossing lol). I've never had cavities, never needed a root canal, nothing. My dentist always praises me at my cleanings for taking such good care of my mouth. So this just seems off to me.
I have read it can be an early pregnancy symptom, especially if it's not common for you. Has anyone ever experienced this in their TWW and gotten their BFP?
