Trying to conceive and confused

Hello! I hope I am posting this in the right spot. I usually just read other posts and  get information but I am really confused. I would love any help if anyone has any thoughts! 

My my husband and I have been TTC for almost a year. I use the Clearblue Fertility Monitor. I got my period as usual 12/26-12/30. My peak days were January 13 and January 14. My husband and I DTD on 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12 and 1/15. On January 27, I spotted brown. I usually do this for a day before my period comes full force the next day. From 1/27-1/31, I had brown spotting on and off. It was heavier sometimes and other times I would go hours with nothing. I thought it might have been IB so I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I thought maybe it was just a weird period. But my period is always the same consistency, amount, color, etc. 

My monitor says I have high fertility today but I shouldn't be ovulating until closer to 2/10. I have had symptoms such as itchy boobs, nausea, headache, congestion, tugging and pulling in my uterus, pressure in my uterus, having to pee a lot, feeling very tired and dizzy. 

I had a faint faint positive on a FRER yesterday morning. Ran out of tests this morning but tested this afternoon and negative. 

Im just so regular so I am very confused and don't want to hold onto false hope. I have read stories of people having brown IB and then a week later they have a positive. I just wanted to see if anyone could share any stories or advice. Thank you so much!!

    I'm sorry for your confusion. Cycles can change even if you're "regular." You should test every morning until you get your period or a positive. If you go longer than 60 (I think...) days without a normal period, you should see your doctor.

    I'm so sorry you're going through a confusing time.  They say that all cycles are regular until they aren't, which is frequently the case for many around here.  

    If you don't get a normal period next time and no BFP I would see your healthcare professional.  You said it's been nearly a year, and that's typically when they start doing bloodwork and such.  If that is the case, I would consider having your GP refer you to an RE.
