Hi All,
I'm new to this board. I posted this same question on another forum too but so far I've gotten 27 views and no responses so I thought I'd ask here. I apologize if this is a little long but I want to give all info. Also, there may be some TMI so this is the warning now
I am 29 years old and have endometriosis. I have very regular periods ever 28 days that last 4 days.
I am in a long distance relationship and see my boyfriend about once a month. We are not TTC but we are not really strict on trying to prevent either. We use the pull out method or start without a condom and he puts one on half way through if he wants to come in me. As I said, we are not actively TTC but if it happened we would both be ok with it.
I use a period tracker app that tracks my period and estimates my ovulation day (I know it could be a day or two either way). My last period started 3/7 and lasted the normal 4 days. With my endometriosis my periods are VERY painful.
My estimated ovulation day was 3/21. I was with my boyfriend 3/15-3/21 (my fertile days and the day of ovulation). We had sex at least once every day during that time.
Now to my reason for asking these questions. On 3/24 and 3/25 (3 & 4dpo) I got sick around 10 each morning. My boyfriend joked that I should "pee on a stick" and I explained that even if I was preggers my body wouldn't know and I wouldn't be getting sick, I chalked it up to my pain meds, even though they don't usually make me sick. The question of being pregnant was not in my mind at all. Later that day I found myself over sensitive to things he said and on the verge of tears about things that normally wouldn't bother me.
Estimated 6dpo (3/27, this was listed as 8 days before my next expected period) I started getting light pink spotting before bed, around 10-11 PM, but only when I wiped. It was very light pink and did not show up on my underware. My face and chest was super hot and visibly flushed. This lasted for about a half hour.
The next day, 7dpo, (7 days before period) I had light spotting only when I wiped, none on underwear, and this was morning until noon and it stopped and I didn't see anymore all day. I also had hot flashes and once again my face and chest were visibly flushed. It went away after about 30 min. I went shopping with my mom that night and when I got home and went to the bathroom I felt really wet. When I wiped it was light pink and water and there was a bit of water pink discharge/mucus? There were also 3 red dots, each dot was no bigger than a pin head. When I wiped later there was almost no pink.
Today is 8dpo, 6 days before expected period. I've been a little nervous about the light pink spotting being implantation bleeding so I took a test with First Response and of course BFN. I know it's super early and expected that. The first 2 times I went to the bathroom this morning there was no spotting. The 3rd time it was pink again and had a small about of water pink mucus. I have a pantie liner on but haven't seen anything.
Over these last few days I keep thinking I'm feeling the start of cramps and they turn to nothing. Like I said my period cramps usually hurt. I keep expecting to start my period but it would still be almost a week early.
My breast are tender but not super painful. They are for sure sore if I push on them.
Also the last 3 days or so I've had a hard time controlling my temper. I'm usually easy going but things have been setting me off pretty easy and I will suddenly snap out of nowhere and then feel horrible because I feel like I over reacted.
New thing that just started today is some food taste a little off. My yogurt, that I have every day, tasted a little strange and left a weird taste in my mouth. I'm sure at this point my imagination is running away with me.
I wasn't searching for symptoms before, until the spotting start really light pink and a day over a week before my period is due.
Does this sound like implantation and pregnancy signs? I'm not looking to be reassured that they are, I want honest opinions or experiences. I know some sites say you can start testing 3-4 days after implant bleeding, but is that from when it starts or when it ends? I know 8dpo is early for testing, so how long should I wait before testing again?
Thank you for your help!!!
