Hi friends,
So, naturally, I've been obsessively Googling what's happening to me, but haven't found anything that seems quite the same.
Background: My husband and I are in our third cycle TTC, starting my first month off of birth control. I haven't taken BBT or charted anything.
So starting ~5 DPO, I bled. Red blood for two days with no clots. It wasn't super heavy, but definitely needed protection. It's hard to say if it was lighter than my normal period, as it's never heavy and I honestly don't pay a ton of attention to how much I bleed out! As my cycle seems to be about 31 days, this bleeding was a week and a half early. Also, I did not experience cramps, but I rarely ever do (I am certainly lucky here).
Now I'm in my third day past that. I've had yellow-brown spotting (discharge?), but have not needed protection. Again, no clots. While it has thicker, old-blood type stuff in addition to the watery stuff before, now it just seems to be brownish CM.
As far as symptoms, I was having "twinges" in my pelvis and very light cramps prior to the initial bleed, and have had a lower backache for a solid week - before and during the bleed time. One day (pre-bleed), I felt out of breath, and had also had days where I feel somewhat sick and lightheaded. Nothing extreme.
I did test this morning (~9 dpo) with a Clearblue digital and got a negative.
Does anybody have any thoughts? I admit to having been hopeful for a weird implantation, but don't seem to have the usual symptoms.
Thanks for your time! This post is certainly much longer than I anticipated!
