I'm not actually ttc, but I didn't know where else to put this. My dh and I use the pull out method and natural family planning for prevention, so it wouldn't be the craziest thing ever for me to conceive. I'm probably just having a weird cycle, but I really need a fresh perspective because I'm driving myself crazy.
I got my last for sure period on March 14. My next period was due April 12, but I started on the 9th instead, 3 days early. And it was weird. I get a variety of symptoms for pms: nausea, cramping, exhaustion, moodiness. It is usually all gone by day 2 of my period and starts up to a week prior. This cycle I did so much burning, pinching cramping in my hips even though it's usually in the middle where my uterus is, tingling in my mouth and a weird taste and severe exhaustion. I use a menstrual cup and it was never more than half full after twelve hours, normally they are spilling over after 6 hours the first couple days, but it never got that heavy. It was full of ewcm as well and ended after only 4 days, 2 less than usual and the last one was just spotting. I have counted this as my period despite the fact that here I am over a week later and still cramping and still having all kinds of pms symptoms. Even stranger, I'm supposed to ovulate in 4 days and for the first time in a few weeks, I am super dry down there except for a tiny amount of creamy white discharge, normally I have ewcm for almost an entire week before ovulation. I probably shouldn't discuss cervical position because I know it can be so inaccurate, but it's been super low, firm like a nose and closed all this time.
Am I losing my mind? Is this just a weird cycle? I've had 2 kids and consider myself familiar with pregnancy symptoms, but I just don't even know what to think. Is pregnancy a possibility? Have any of you had this experience before? I had ib with my second, but it wasn't like this. Any wisdom is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
