Hello!
I am about to go into nitty gritty details! You've been warned
So, I have always been irregular until recently. Turns out I have a very short cycle though! Only 19 days. I usually ovulate around day 11 or so, the week before I'm supposed to get my period. This always throws me off when trying to figure out when I would expect any type of symptoms of pregnancy. My count is off!
Anywho, I'm now 8DPO (roughly) and three days ago I had a few drops of blood with some CM (I warned you!) This immediately threw me off only because if I have ever spotted before a period it has been brown discharge. Also, my CM usually dries up pretty nicely a few days prior to my period starting. After those few spots (I mean tiny spots) I had very strange cramping. I wouldn't even call it "cramping," it felt more like pinches in my abdomen - sometimes they would even radiate to my downstairs and my right leg. It was more of a sensation in bed last night. It's on and off. And just yesterday I wiped and low and behold I had a spot of pink discharge with my CM (later that night I had the pinching sensations.)
Today my CM seems to have dried up a bit though there was a spot of brown discharge with my earlier. I felt nauseous, ever slow slightly, this morning and felt a rush of warmth. Very strange. I drink a lot of water normally, but it's been going through me so fast lately! I feel like I really need to go and I run to the bathroom to pee only a little bit! Not to mention that I used to do #2 only once a day or every other day - now it's kind of difficult to go, I feel like I always need to go, and it's one or twice a day!
I am supposed to get my period today so we shall see what happens, but has anyone else experienced something along these lines? I've had headaches on and off and earlier this week I was SO tired all the time that I didn't want to leave the couch and I was napping during the day, which I never do! I exercise regularly so I'm usually pretty energetic.
Sorry for all of the details, just wanted to get it all out there!
