Hey everyone! This month has been a whirlwind on my body.

Backstory:

The last year or so I have had 26 day cycles, I also have extremely painful and heavy (day 1-2) cycles. Endo and adenomyosis are both suspected/partially confirmed. I haven’t been tracking ovulation either recently.

This month as I said has been weird. My period came 5 days late on CD 31, and had dull cramping in my lower back and lower pelvis instead of the sharp, leave me passed out on the bathroom floor pains I normally get. It was more annoying than anything because it wasn’t painful enough to take meds for. I prepared for a bloodbath as soon as I saw pink tinged cm on the tp but to my surprise that stopped for hours until later in the day. When it did begin again I was spotting/barely bleeding. I was nauseous and had some pretty severe bp drops (I also have pots). I didn’t think too much of it.

By day 2 the bleeding all but stopped. It was brown then a bright pinkish red (and had stretch cm on day two which I’ve never experienced). I had some spotting after sex day three but my period did not start again like I was expecting. I would’ve started on the second which means I should STLL be bleeding today and I haven’t even spotted in two or three days. Today I woke up to more cramping like a period and ended up getting sick twice and have been nauseous and fatigued all day to the point where I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if I should get a test. I had a negative test the first day I bled and one with an indent last night but I live 40 minutes from any stores 😂.

I’ll comment pics of the bleeding I had over the whole first day, also the heaviest day, (over 12 hrs which is gross but I was freaking out and on the road lol) as well as my OPK which I feel is pretty high for being the first day “off” my period. I took one out of curiosity and lack of actual tests near me.
