I have a regular 25-day MC and always have AF for 6 days. I was due for my period on 24 June but instead had what I thought was an early period on 21 June. I usually use a cup but because I was caught off guard I had to use an emergency tampons. I noticed it wasn't nearly as heavy as my normal flow - the tampons weren't full (sorry if TMI). When I switched to my cup at night I woke up and it was virtually empty which has never happened - the first 2 days are always really heavy and thick. This was quite thin blood with little clots instead of some big ones like I usually get. Then on the 22nd I put my cup in as normal - when I got home about 9 hours later I went to change it and it was about 3/4 full - it usually fills up by 7 or 8 hours. And then there was a tiny bit on the 23rd and by the 24th there was nothing. Typically on the 5th and 6th days I have brown blood that tapers off. But this just stopped abruptly. My OH and I had sex 2 and 1 days before I was due to ovulate using the withdrawal method but I think he pulled a bit late.
I didn't really think anything of it other than a blip of a period. But then I started to have period-like cramps and lower back ache with pelvic, hip and knee aching - hips and back especially. I started to feel wayyy over emotional - crying at anything. And I have no appetite whatsoever and I live to eat. I couldn't stay awake on the train to and from work. Last night I checked my CM and there was a lot egg-white like discharge but it was more milky than clear - but a mix of both. Cervix felt high but I'm new at checking that.
I've taken 5 HPT now, 4 with FMU. 2 Boots cheapies, 2 Superdrug and 1 FRER - in that order. Boots and first SD was BFN. The 2nd SD I thought had a very faint line (so faint I couldn't tell if it was grey or pink), but now I think is either evap or indent. FRER this morning was BFN.
My symptoms are only getting worse. I'm a bit nauseated this morning too and just feel weird and a bit dizzy. I'm around 22dpo (I use an app to calculate ovulation) and would be 5 weeks tomorrow.
I'm going to try to see the GP tomorrow but I'm so confused. I thought maybe it was a UTI but I have no painful urination and I've had a few UTIs before!
Really confused and feeling anxious it about it :(
Although we weren't trying to conceive we'd both love a baby. We've decided what happens from here we'd like to start trying for real!
Anyone had anything similar or heard of anything like this?
