Hubby and I have been ttc for 3 months now and I started my period recently (this will be the 4th month). I had 4 days of light spotting, dark and some bright red. This is not usual for me at all. My periods have been wacky lately, being late and super heavy then next period early and heavy then almost non existent like this period. With our daughter we has sex once the whole month because he was away in the military for training and got pregnant right off the bat first month trying. I know cycles can be off after having a baby (our baby is 9 months) but I’m starting to be concerned that I’m not ovulating. I got some ovulation tests that I’ll use this month but due to my off cycle this month, I don’t know when to start testing. Do I start my period on the first day of any spotting or consider it a 1 day period since one day was only anywhere near heavy enough.

Also, if I were to go to my doctor at this point, would I be able to ask my doctor to do blood work to see if I’m ovulating on my own?
