Question

I had an early, light 3 day period, then 3 days of nothing and then spotting and symptoms? Opinions?

First off, I hadn't really thought about having another baby before this scare, so we were NOT TTC and ALWAYS used condoms start to finish.

So this month, although my period is normally regular, I was a few days early. That didn't bother me. My first day was normal, flow wise and the following 2 days were considerably lighter, the third day only requiring a couple pantyliners. My period is normally 4-5 days, with the 5th day still being heavy enough for heavier protection then a liner.

After getting off my weird, 3 day period,
I had no bleeding whatsoever for about 3 days only to end up finding a small amount of blood on my underwear the 4th day post period and a few light pink smears on the toilet tissue for a few hours afterwards. No bleeding since.

Now, that's when I started to wonder. I understand I may be freaking myself out, so I'm asking for opinions! Since spotting I have had pretty constant, uncomfortable cramping and weird "twinges", constipation, weepy..

Just sounds like wishful thinking and a wonky period to me... (3 votes)
Maybe, maybe not. Sounds like it could go either way... (0 votes)

Hmmm. Could be pregnant. Or you might have had a weird period for reasons I couldn't guess (I get odd periods myself sometimes and I have no idea why) and then the spotting could be ovulation. If you're concerned, though, go to a doctor to rule out other possibilities.


5 years TTC. Endometriosis and adenomyosis. Surgery. 2 IVFs. No joy. Low ovarian reserve. Is there any real hope? DE IVF = next step. Much higher success rates, but so used to things not working, it's hard to feel too hopeful. Wishing others an easier time.
