I have spotting before my periods. I know! This is normal. However, when I do have the spotting, it's ONLY when I am trying to push constipated stools. I will wear a liner and NOTHING comes out natural on it's own time, and it's usually 3-4days before my period actually comes. This is not the normal for me and am wondering if anyone else has experienced similar a similar issue? I feel like maybe my body didn't heal right after baby #1. I have had PMS symptoms and they disappeared soon as I have been spotting, other than cravings for certain foods and bloating. Tiss the season =P. My PMS symptoms were super sore boobs, bloating, and a bit nauseous with extreamly mild cramps. Pregnancy test is negative, I feel it's too early since my period is due in the next day or 2. It may NOT be related to the fact I am TTC #2- but tbh my periods have been different when I TTC I personally notice.
