Hey Everyone.

My partner and I have been trying to conceive since October last year. It's our first time.

The last couple of months I've done really well in not posting on here, not tracking ovulation, not taking pregnancy tests left right and centre. As it's been stressing me out and it was doctors orders to let it just happen.
I have irregular periods, doc said everything is fine . I won't know when ovulating I've not to track and just let me body do the magic.

The last week however....(sorry if tmi)
-Major itchy nipples!!!!!
-Major brain fog to the point my partner asked what was wrong and noticed I was on a different planet

  • been off all week full of the cold, body aching, sleeping all day.
-Feeling extremely nauseous!! -Irritable -very tearful , mood swings galore -boobs feel so full -leg cramps

I took a test this morning and it was BFN, but ive just been to the toilet (sorry TMI) and I was spotting bloody.

Helllpppppp??? Is this good signs? Xxxx

You say you have irregular periods, when would you perhaps expect AF? How long since your last period? Symptom spotting is iffy, it can also be normal symptoms that we generally don't notice.

@calimommy hey my last period was October last year, I had a withdrawal bleed In January this year.
Doc said all is normal, only thing if don't know when I'm ovulating which is a nightmare so baby dance every 2-3 days.

Wow those are dramatically irregular periods. Are you tracking ovulation at all? In your circumstances I would recommend using OPKs because you have such long period of time between bleeding, and to test everyday. You can buy a box of 20, 50 and more OPK from amazon or similar, to make it more affordable. The spotting you mentioned could be another period. Implantation bleeding is generally a single instance of pink when wiping. Some people may experience different, but that is not the 'norm'. If it was implantation bleeding it would also be too early to test. If the bleeding stops you could wait a day or two or longer and retest. Sorry I don't have much else to suggest given your cycles are so infrequent. The one other possibility is that your hormones haven't adjusted from any previous hormone contraception?

Thankyou I know I was using ovulation tests everyday but doctor told me to stop doing that and to just let it happen. Thanks for the info 😊😊
