Changes in period while TTC

S.A.

My husband and I have just (loosely) started to TTC. Every since we stopped using condoms, every period I’ve had has been different from how they were previously.

One was brighter in color. One was more liquidy. One cycle was 36 days while the next was 23, after a MONTHS of cycles being 28-30 days.

Today was the weirdest period. I had the worst cramps I have ever had in my life. It made me faint, nauseous, and caused gastro issues. I took ibuprofen, which I never do for cramps, and within an hour it subsided. It was just very odd and scary.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this while TTC?
