My husband and I just started talking about expanding our family (at the beginning of January, in fact).
Because we recently decided this was the next step for us, I have not been diligently charting/temping or tracking ovulation. I usually just monitor my CM and look for changes in my body.
Anyway, I have a regular 28-30 day cycle. I am not on any meds and have not been on birth control for over three years.
On Jan 5th and 6th I started to spot (light pink/brown). Real flow came on Jan. 7th. Ended Jan 12th.
Out of NOWEHRE, I started spotting Jan. 19th. Light brown, just enough on toilet paper. Light cramping. It lasted a day and I thought this was ovulation.
Two days later, spotting picks pack up! It started light brown, then dark brown, pink, a scant of red, back to brown. All-in-all, it lasted 4ish days. Just enough on toilet paper. Light cramping. I also had mood-swings (husband says I did, anyway!) CM at this time was sticky/not fertile whatsoever.
Yesterday (1/26) the spotting and cramping stopped. Amount of CM started to increase.
Today I woke up, CM is abundant, watery, stretchy-everything that would make you think fertile.
If I could from the day of real flow (Jan 7th), this would put me on CD 21.
I am so confused. I have a four year old son and this has NEVER happened with him. I can't tell if I ovulated late (maybe the spotting was fluctuating hormones) or something worse
I have an appointment with the OB on Tuesday and hoping its nothing serious. AF is still 9-10 days away. Currently shopping for thermometers and OPKs.
