Hi all!
I'm relatively new here & I'm not quite sure I'm posting this in the appropriate section... here it goes.
Just a little background information: I'm 21 yrs old, DH is 23. We've been trying to conceive our first child for the past 7 months. We're both in good health - exercise regularly, eat right, take vitamins, etc. My cycles are about 27 days long with 5 days of heavy, extremely painful bleeding/cramping. I get nasty pms symptoms - I get very irritable, I bloat and my cramps are the tip off that AF is coming any second, in full force.
However, this month has been very unusual. We dtd right around my o time & for several days prior and after. We were really hoping on this month. About 7dpo - I begin having unusual fits of complete exhaustion- to the point where I couldn't keep my eyes open & i'd take a 2 hour nap....in the middle of the day! not TYPICAL of me whatsoever. I had slight nausea... typically in the afternoons and little tummy twinges that I couldn't really relate to AF - like cramps, I also was very "wet" down there,I'm normally not leading up to AF. I also had NO typically PMS symptoms... my cycles are very predictable - to the hour - so I began getting somewhat concerned. Well, I was due to get AF on the 21, and I did in fact start "something"... I had no cramps, no nothing, just when I wiped that morning I had very stretchy cm with a little tiny red dot in it. Weird. Then I began to bleed ever so slightly aobut 2 hours later... nothing like my usual period, I wore a pantyliner all day,the blood was dark red/brown and sometimes bright. The second day it was about the same, no tampon use really... and the 3rd day I had light pink spotting only when I wiped and then nothing. No cramping with this "period", nada. I took an HPT on the 2nd day of 'bleeding'; it was negative. So i'm very confused... could I be pregnant? What would cause a cycle to be like this? It's SO unusual for me?
p.s sorry for typing a book
