Hey ladies,
Ive had the absolute weirdest cycle this month and I would love some advice from you guys
So my DH and I DTD (withdrawal method) 4 times total during my fertile period and the day before and day after ovulation (day after ovulation we drank, so we might not have been as careful as we thought). I then had some brown spotting on 9 DPO (Dec 27) so I thought it could be IB, so I took a cheapy on 13 DPO (Dec 31), 14 DPO (Jan 1) and 15 DPO (Jan 2) and I saw a vvv faint lines I thought I was out though since I think/thought that I got AF on Friday (Jan 2), but I only had pink discharge Friday with a few drops, and then I woke up Saturday to a medium flow that lasted only until Sunday night (Jan 4). So that means I had a 2 day AF or bleeding of some sort, which has never happened to me before (it has ALWAYS been on time- every 27 days and lasts 5 days), I was also not crampy, which I usually am for at least a full day so it is super out of the norm. I searched online and it suggested that some women experience bleeding in the first trimester, so it leads me to wonder if this is the case for me too...?
Also, I was crampy since 8-9 DPO to about right before the 2 day bleeding and today is 2 days after that and Ive been cramping again. I really dont want to symptom spot, but I have also noticed changes in my breasts (areolas, prominent veins & they have hurt for a couple weeks), bloating, mood swings, constant headaches and feeling faint.
My question for you guys is should I bother testing again to make sure? Or even test with a FRER? Or do you think that my cycle was just been messed this month?
Thank you all so much for your advice and expertise!
