I'd appreciate some input / similar experiences

Me & my partner have been TTC since August last year. Obviously we've had a load of negative tests , followed apps religiously & followed sticks.

This time around we decided to just do it. No apps , no sticks , just regularly having sex

Last 3 months my periods have been late , the highest was my period been late by 8 days. I assume my cycle has changed , no big deal.

This time around , I was late by 2 days. Started my period on Friday , not as heavy as normal with minimal cramp , by the Saturday there was a tiny amount of pale blood on my pad & small amounts when I wipe ( sorry if TMI )

Today ( Thursday ) I've got slight cramps , went to the loo expecting to see blood & nothing
I did a pregnancy test yesterday - negative but I kinda thought it would

Has this happened to anyone else ? Is it just my body changing or something else ?

Thanks for any advice

My March period last 2 days and stopped dead. Literally just stopped, no slowing or anything. Next cycle returned to normal length. Have you been on the pill. That was my 2nd period after stopping my pill, so wondered either I had been pregnant (not likely) or just my body adjusting. Xx

I had my implant taken out July last year , I've never been on the pill

@kirstenI I'm not sure then. Maybe stress. It can cause weird things to happen. X

Have you changed anything in your diet or started taking conception supplements?

@DoctorBambino nothing has changed , my periods have been regular w/ same symptoms etc since I started back when I was 12
My stress levels have come down dramatically since I decided to step down from management in my job , so I wouldn't say I'm stressed

I did take folic supplements months & months ago , but I keep forgetting to take them ( my memory is shocking )
I want to start taking them at the start of the month , so I can keep track etc but like I said , I keep forgetting

@kirstenI I just started taking folic acid too. Hopefully this will help with conception. You can start taking them any time up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. X
