My husband and I have been TTC baby #1 for a year now and it’s been exhausting. So we decided to take a break this month and just relax, not track anything.

I had what you could classify as a period about 3 1/2 weeks ago. On and off spotting/bleeding for 4-5 days with cramps. Didn’t think anything of it.

Then about 9 days ago hubby and I had some fun time over the weekend and it was the best we’d had in a long time since we weren’t focused on making a baby.

Now I’m supposed to start my period today and I’m just cramping pretty good, backaches, food tastes weird (that’s new), and I’m barely spotting. It should be a full on flow by now.

Am I reading too much into this? Could I have ovulated about 9 days ago? It would have been 12 days after my period.
