Hey everyone,
I was just curious if anyone here has experience with ovulation spotting and what it is like for them.
Here is the jyst of what I’m experiencing:
On the night of Dec 19 I started AF 2 full days early. It started as spotting only while wiping(kinda pink) then the next day it was a full blown AF that was heavier than my norm (using more tampons than normal). The day after that it slowed to what I would consider normal for me. The next 3 days I spotted pink which never happens. The total AF was 5-6 days (normal for me is 3).
A couple days after the end of AF (CD8) I started getting a lower back ache and mild cramping. This has never happened this early in my cycle before ( I do get ovulation cramping but it’s more towards CD 14-16 and usually a super dull ache for a day then a sharp pinch then the cramping subsided after a day.) so I took An OPK and received a distinguishable line but not a +. Again I thought this was early for me to receive a line that shade so I also took a pregnancy test which was a BFN. I put it down to ovulation.
I continue to ache and cramp now and I’m at CD16. I also took another OPK at CD 14 as I was curious if it would be + and I got a line about the same as the line I got on CD 9. I was NOT taking OPKs through the week span so I definitely could have caught the end of my surge. That night right before my DH and I were about to get frisky (have not DTD for over 14 days due to holiday company) I went to the bathroom to find pink spotting and a lot of CM(tmi it was super globby). I had a WTF moment as I have NEVER spotted mid cycle ever. We continued to DTD that night. The next day (CD 15) I woke up to a slightly worse cramping and lower Back ache and spotted again one time through the day so I took another HPT that was a BFN.
So here I am CD16. I have been cramping 8 days and random spotting 2 days straight. I feel bloated more than normal for being mid cycle. By no means am I grasping at straws hoping I’m pregnant. I guess I am just wondering if I could have low estrogen this cycle or am I for the first time experiencing ovulation spotting.... perhaps a cyst or something.
Has anyone out there had a similar experience or have 1st hand experience with low estrogen or ovulation spotting?
