Anyone else get AF 5 days early?
Hello future mommas!
I have an irregular, heavy, 35-40 day cycle but in studying my body changes (bbt, cervix positions) I've gotten pretty good at tracking my O (ovulation) and my luteal phase has been consistently 14 days. This cycle I tried FertiliTea which helped with my LH surge (I was able to track the egg release with OPKs gradually getting darker) but I'm worried it may have shortened my cycle as a whole and my luteal phase in particular. At the beginning of the week I thought I was experiencing implantation bleeding, then Wednesday came and everything has been up in the air since.
This is how my week went:
*Monday (8dpo), (high bbt) there was a sliver of blood in my cm.
*Tuesday (9dpo), (high bbt) my cm was light pink/orange, brownish when I wiped.
*Wednesday (10po), (Bbt dip) started the day with a bit more blood in my cm, red when I wiped throughout the day, flow picked up later in the evening.
*Thursday (11dpo), (bbt spike) flow was steady- dumped my full Diva cup twice, one of those had about a quarter of clear mucus which might've actually been half of the cup since it's a cone shape (TMI, I know. Sorry 😣)
*Friday (12dpo), (bbt still high) flow was still steady but a little less than the day before.
Today (13dpo), (bbt drop) cup wasn't that full this morning after having it in since yesterday early evening.
So, that's where I am. I don't know what to make of this. I've read so many posts where women have had periodesque bleeding and still ended up being pregnant. I have heavy, uncomfortable periods but this one was different --Not nearly as uncomfortable or as heavy.
Does this sound like anyone else's pre-BFP stories?
