Hi everyone I am new to posting on here so I’m just looking for a bit of advice or anyone who has experienced this before.
my last period was on the 17th April, I had unprotected sex on 1st of may which my app says is the day after my ovulation I don’t know if I ovulated before or after this as I wasn’t checking and we were just back from holiday and decided it’s time to start trying. I had very light spotting on the 14th of may the day my period was due this was light pink mostly when I wiped , the next day I had a very light flow that was red which is unusual for me as I am usually heavy for 5 days then the day after it was back to just the spotting. Today I only had the slightest bit of brown blood when I wiped so I done a test in the afternoon which came back negative after a 4 hour hold on my pee.
sorry for the long post but I am so confused I have cramping especially on my left and sometimes feel like my period is going to start again this is how I felt when I was pregnant 2 years ago but I never had any bleeding , I also have some other symptoms I had the first time like nausea on and off, light headedness , tender breasts etc. so I’m just wondering has anyone experienced this and got a positive test or is this my body just playing tricks on me
