Hi everyone!
Sorry if this is long! Can anyone who has had the same help me please haha so basically my partner and I are trying for baby no.3 and we had sex during my fertile window and after. My periods are like clockwork and are always the same. This month my period was due Monday 22nd March. On Monday when I wiped there was some blood so I thought ok not pregnant, period is here, so put a pad on. The flow didn't get any heavier which it always always does! There was blood in the pad and some when I wiped but not enough to fill a pad. I thought maybe I was just stressing out and upset my period arrived and that was stopping my flow getting heavier? Haha so I went to bed and expected to wake up on Tuesday with a heavier flow. Got up, used the bathroom and again blood in the pad and a bit when I wiped but not heavy at all, tmi but usually I get up in the morning and there's a lot of blood but there wasn't. I had cramping through the day in work but again not filling a pad as much as normal! Same again on Wednesday and by Wednesday evening I had nothing. Not even when I wiped. So basically this cycle was shorter and WAY lighter than I've ever had in my life. I took a pregnancy test on Wednesday afternoon and it was negative. I have been nauseous, really tired, headaches and going crazy as to what caused my period to be that way. Have more tests here but don't want to waste them cause ive clearly had my period? Was it just stress that made my cycle messed up? Losing my mind! Lol thank you if you've read this far lol

Hi, also trying for number 3! I've had the same, lighter flow and shorter periods but still like clockwork. Personally I'm thankful as I normally have horrific periods lol now cycle day 5 on cycle number 5 since being off the pill. Fingers crossed it happens for us soon 🤞🏼
