TTC as a Former Smoker

Amelia

Okay, so I posted earlier today about spotting when I should be ovulating and getting negative OPK's. So I came home today after being at my grandmothers all day , because my sister and her husband are in town from California. (I apologize in advance if this is TMI). I put a tampon in this morning when I saw the spotting just in case. I took it out when I got home and it looked almost like I was on my period, a little bit lighter. But I my period just ended 2 weeks ago.... I was sitting here doing homework because I graduated college in May and decided to go back and get my cyber security degree, and I was thinking about it because I am SO confused and I realized that I quit smoking EXACTLY 2 weeks ago today. I'm wondering if quitting smoking can mess up your cycles. Its supposed to be better for you but my husband and I have already been TTC for 19 months and if i'm starting a period AGAIN (ugh) than its going to push us into month 20 and each month is devastating as it is. If anyone knows anything about this can you please share some insight. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on. I guess there are three possibilities, 1. I ovulated early and this is implantation bleeding (because it isn't really "red" its more pink and brown (unlikely) 2. It's ovulation bleeding (also unlikely because of the negative OPK's), or 3. Quitting smoking messed up my cycle and I'm going to have 2 periods this month (most likely, and also MOST depressing). Any input is appreciated.

UPDATE: I’m thinking I’m getting another period 😭😒 I don’t feel like I am, but that’s what it looks like.
