So I’m on my 4th cycle TTC. I have two previous children (3 & 5) (diff partner).
My cycles are generally around 22-25 days but my previous cycle lasted 32 days (my longest ever).
I had many neg tests (one vfp early on but I’m not sure if it was just an evap line).
On day 9 of being late, I bled for one day (11/25) and did not even fill one tampon. Something like this has never happened to me. I’ve never skipped a period or only bled for one day (generally my period lasts 3).
I got ovulation symptoms (v sore breasts) & a positive ovulation test a week later (12/2).
Assuming that maybe the one day of bleeding was a period, I would be CD19 (11 dpo & 5 days from expected period). I’ve had cramps for the last 3 days (I have never gotten period cramps before in my life). Today I started bleeding again. Every time I wipe it’s either very light pink blood, almost not noticeable or no blood at all. There’s no blood on my panties, and I only get any significant amount of blood during a BM (presumably bc I’m pushing). That blood is reddish orange.
Is this implantation bleeding or is possible it’s just my period ? Was my last “period” some type of implantation bleeding ? I haven’t taken a test since 11/25 and I plan to take one tomorrow but I’m not even sure if should. What’s the possibility that I happen to have the longest and then shortest cycles of my life one right after another, with such odd bleeding. If not implantation bleeding, does this indicate some type of fertility issue despite my past two pregnancies ? I’m just so confused and would like some comfort that anyone else has dealt with this . Any response at all is appreciated greatly.
Re: Implantation bleeding/ weird cycle
That said, none of us are medical professionals who can tell you what is happening in your cycle. Bodies are weird and do weird things, especially when you’re paying this close attention to them. If you want to know if you are pregnant, I would advise taking a pregnancy test. Further, you are generally not considered for fertility issues until after 6-12 months of well timed unprotected sex, depending on your age. Best of luck with your test.
