For years I had 28 day cycles, featuring a light five day period.
Then we started ttc, and my body has gone a bit weird. First I noticed that my breasts were really sore. This usually only happens a couple of days before I'm due, but went on for a fortnight. Then my period was four days late (started to get excited), but tested negative. Period finally seems to start - I then bled very lightly, more like brown discharge, for 8 days. Throughout this I developed acne all around where my beard would be if I was a bloke. Great. 8 days into my period, I got horrible cramps, became hugely constipated and bled more heavily than I have in my life. Now a total of 14 days into this period and I'm still bleeding lightly, and quite spotty.
All that has changed since the halcyon days pre-ttc is
a) no longer using condoms for contraception
b) started taking Pregnacare conception supplement.
Is this normal? What is going on? Can I do anything about it?
