Hello everyone!
I'm new. I hate to bring up a topic that has probably been overdone, but I would just LOVE some help! I have scoured the web for info on IB for the past few days, but I can't find anything similar enough to what I am experiencing to put my mind at ease. IB is so dang cryptic!
My last period started March 30th. My fiance and I are not TTC, however we don't use protection of any kind because we wouldn't mind a darling surprise. April 20th, I peed and when I wiped there was a little bit of pink. I was confused because I AF is NEVER early for me. I'm usually on a 30 day cycle, so I still had about 10 days to go. Nothing else happened that night. There were no cramps or PMS leading up to this. The next morning, I started bleeding again when I peed, but heavier. I experienced mild cramping as well. The only thing that troubled me about it was that it was still too early for AF and it was brownish. I bled a couple more times that afternoon, only when I peed, like it only bled when my muscles pushed. There was very little actually on my pad. By that evening, it had lightened up to spotting, which hardly even showed on my panty-liner. I have continued spotting until today, when it finally (so it seems) stopped. It did change to a pink color for 2 days, then back to brown today. It never really had a flow to it like my regular periods (which are usually very heavy the first 2 days, then medium for 3). The other thing, and this is WAY tmi...it doesn't smell like period blood. It just smells like nothing.
I have had an increase in BBT and have felt nauseous, but I have had no other symptoms. I had unprotected sex on my O days. I am just a little anxious because of the unprotected sex, unusually early period, and brown and pink spotting. However, the heavier flow on the second day and the length of the spotting have made me think I'm probably getting excited over nothing.
I did take 2 tests, both negative. What do you think? Has anyone else had IB like this or am I just imagining things? When should I test again?
