New on this forum, sorry for the grammar, English in not my 1st language. After reading everything I could, I bought the TCYOF book that I finished this morning ant I'm still trying to figure out what's going on. I will start to chart my BBT tomorrow (needed a thermometer!) but here are the info I have.
I'm 38 y/o. We TTC for the first time this month, OPK was positive the 5th in the morning and we did an AI the same day. I thought it was going well and by D23 my breast got really tendered and according to my SO felt "more full" (I also know that when you're longing for something to happen, your mind can trick you so it might not have been). We were hopeful and D25 (3 days before my expected period) I took a pregnancy test that was negative. I was still hopeful thinking that as long as I don't get my period there is hope and it still could be too early to be detected on the test.
However the day after (D26 - December 19th) I got my periods. It was 2 days earlier than it was supposed to happen. Even though I'm usually regular it was only 2 days and somehow was confirming the negative result on the pregnancy test so no big deal; we were sad but knew we'll try again early january.
Here is when I'm lost. December 19th I got my period, it lasted 5 days. And December 26th I started to have spotting, it's like a first or last day of period except that it is now December 28Th and I'm still spotting.
I'm worried, I thought that maybe my early period could actually have been an early miscarriage and now I have my regular period arriving one week later than expected. There is like 3 months wait to get an appointement to the OBGYN here so I went to the Planned Parenthood and the doc there couldn't tell me anything, she doesn"t know why I'm spotting and just told me to assume that the 19th it was my period and to wait 14 days before the next ovulation.
At the time of the appointement I had already read the part of the book explaining that cycle varies and we shouldn't rely on the 14 days so this visit was quite useless.
I'm going to start the OPK again since I'm supposed to ovulate January 1st and my BBT chart is going to be incomplete for the month so I can't do much (wish I found this book months earlier though!). I realise that without a chart of my BBT it's just a guess but any thought on why I'm spoting only 3 days after the end of my period which happened 2 days early ?
Thanks for reading :)
