I have a fairly regular 26/27 day cycle. I've had 23-32 day months in the past, but not for the last year, since I stopped breastfeeding. I always get my period 10 days after I (think I) ovulate.
I think I can clearly tell when I ovulate, as I get the following symptoms:
- spotting (sometimes a single spot of blood, sometimes a full day of it)
- spots on my chin
- I think about sex non-stop for three days
- EWCM
- itchy feet (had this at ovulation, and again prior to period ever since cholestasis in first pregnancy. Had liver checked, and its fine)
Every month, my boobs start hurting almost immediately after ovulation, and then I have endometriosis pain in my left side, that kicks in around 5 days prior to my period.
It is all very predictable.
Except this month, the month when I start to TTC. What happened is:
CD13: I had all my usual ovulation signs. This is 3 days earlier than I would expect, which is annoying as:
CD15: I get my copper coil removed, in order to TTC. Figure no chance this month.
CD16 -19: I'm ill with a tummy bug. Maybe relevant?
CD20: I realise that I don't have any pain at all, boobs or endo pain. Which is really odd.
CD21: I have some unusual abdominal pains, nothing like usual endo pain. Some random nausea.
CD23 (10DPO?): I expect my period, but it doesn't appear. Negative pregnancy test. Some mild boob pain and itching starts, but milder than usual and more intermittent.
CD25 (12DPO?): My endo left side pain is there, but milder and more intermittent than usual, along with continued odd mild pains on other side too. Itching has started. Negative test.
CD28: Notice in increase in CM, after a while with not much.
CD29 (16DPO?): Negative pregnancy test. Still itching, this has lasted much longer than usual. My boobs are mega painful now, much worse than usual. And they look odd and vein-y. Still getting some abdominal pain, but still nowhere near as bad as usual endo pain.
I feel pregnant, but I am also aware that it's very unlikely, and I'm probably just fantasising.
Anyone any ideas what's going on? With the coil ectopic risk, and the left side pain, I have a vague worry about that - but pain in the side is very normal for me, it typically is quite intensely sore for about 50% of the time. And wouldn't that show up on a pregnancy test? Is it even possible to get pregnant if I ovulated prior to the coil removal?
