We’re NTTP (not trying, not preventing). Though more accurately would be not trying, tentatively preventing. This involves DP withdrawing at the very last second with us both accepting the high chance of pregnancy and being okay with this. We’d prefer a baby in a couple of years, but would be happy enough if it happened earlier.
Anyway, many months I can feel my ovulation. I get a searing pain in one ovary for about half an hour that stops me in my tracks. It’s horrendous but I’m used to it and power through it. I’m certain it’s ovulation as it accompanies a spotty face and DP gets pounced on the day before like clockwork! Must be the hormones. So I am fairly certain when I ovulated this month. I’m now 11dpo. My cycles are a bit awkward ranging between 30-36 days, so if not for the pain I’d have no idea about my ovulation. Usually my luteal phase is between 14-16 days or thereabouts. I count from the day I get the pain to the day I start bleeding. It helps me predict when my period is coming each month and these calculations usually help me be quite accurate in when to expect it.
Went for a wee a couple of hours ago at 11dpo and found some brown discharge. This is a bit strange, if it was a period it would’ve been a 27 day cycle which is completely unheard of for me. I understand early periods happen sometimes, but the day of your period is determined by when you ovulated, and I didn’t ovulate early! Ovulation at 11do should mean I’ve got a few more days before coming on. Though I accept I may be overthinking things.
Though more weirdness is I deffo don’t have any of my usual period symptoms. I usually get a spot on my left earlobe every month (bizarre I know!) just before coming on, also have some, ahem, intestinal distress and a bit of boob soreness and swelling (DP harasses them during this time lol). But none of that.
The bleeding also appears to have now stopped.
Am I insane to think this could be implantation???
