I had a very early miscarriage last month (between 4-5 weeks along). I have been trying to pay attention to my cycle this month as we get back on track. We have practiced birth control (by watching my cycle and body signs) for over 13 years without becoming pregnant until last month. I have been watching my body signs to see if it went back to my normal 29 day cycle. Saturday I had a ton of cramps. Like all day off & on but very noticeable. They were not like my normal light ovulation pains that I'd sometimes get. These were centered in my low abdomen and not to one side or the other. At the time I figured that I must be ovulating & it was more painful due to the previous month's miscarriage & just running a little late since that was cd 17. I have felt really bloated ever since Saturday so on a whim very late last night I took a hpt. It looked bfn the first 10 minutes so I set it aside. This morning it had a line that I am calling an evap until proven differently. I decided to test again since I have cheapie tests here from last month. Today's test sorta looked like it might have something that I can now see better after it dried. I am super confused because that would mean I ovulated much earlier than expected and completely missed my signs if so. And then the cramps wouldn't have been ovulation but instead implantation. I would obviously be so so early and I'm not ready for another roller coaster like last month's pregnancy shock & miscarriage. We may should have just abstained or used protection this month while I figured out the new normal for my cycle. Feeling confused.
