TMI warning, what is going on?

JessP · #1 October 18th, 2009, 03:48 PM

Ok so this post is going to be a lot of TMI but I am really confused what my body is doing and need some opinions. I am going to call the dr office tomorrow morning and ask some questions about my numbers if this keeps up.

So here is the normal for me. 2-3 days before AF I start spotting. Nothing to crazy mostly when I wipe but sometimes I will wear a pantyliner or light day pad. CD1 I usually cramp heavily taking motrin or midol every chance I can. I don't have preAF cramping. I get it all on CD1. I am usually changing the pad every 1-2 hours its that heavy. I usually pass lots of clots and lay around in pain all day. I was so glad to have it start on a weekend so I don't have to be in pain at work. This is my normal for years even post m/c. It lasts 3-5 days and then I am done. CD 2 is usually heavy till mid afternoon and then light. CD3 is light to spotting.

This is this cycle. Started doing the pre AF spotting Thursday but could also have been from the nitrious pen treatement to my cervix so just guessing. Friday and Saturday still more spotting. I started wearing a pad thinking that I was gearing up. Lots of pre AF cramps (not normal). Today should be CD1. I am finding barely anything on the pad, a little spotting. I am having a bit of bleeding but considerably light for me. Not saying nothing and a bit more than "spotting" but nothing near normal. I am only having minor cramping no meds needed. I took some thinking they would get worse. Here it is 4pm and I am still waiting for AF to come on full blown.

So I guess the question is do I still count this as CD1 even though it hasn't increased from the last couple days? Should I be worried that it isn't my normal super heavy cycle? Could it just be an off cycle? I guess I just don't know what to think. This is so abnormal for me that it has me worried. Any thoughts would be super helpful. Thanks ladies.

I would wait until tomorrow and see what happens. Sometimes I spot a little longer than normal before AF starts. I am wondering if the nitrous pen treatment might be messing with things. I don't know, but either wait and see what happens tomorrow.

Jess have you tested at all, jic? I mean it's a possibility isn't it?

That might explain it, or like you were asking... it could be an off cycle for you. This AF has been *off* for me, no pre-AF spotting (I get that too a couple days or a day before) then heavy flow, medium, light and nothing. We have similar sounding periods... this one tho no spotting, days 1 & 2 HEAVY HEAVY, medium, light then really nothing today but still wearing a panty liner.

POAS lady, who knows! Process of elimination will narrow it down for you... how do you feel otherwise?

I would have to agree with Teresa. Maybe the pen thingy caused some scarring over the cervix and its not opening like it usualy does. Your dr. said it "toughens the cervix", so I would think that would in turn mean a little harder at the cervix opening?

But to rule out everything possible, or as much as you can, I would POAS just to make sure. Then ask your dr. in the morning about the cervix thing.

It could be my cervix thing good thinking ladies. I seriously doubt I am pregnant as they were supposed to do a quantitative HCG and they said it was negative. Yeah I should have said so it was 0 LOL. I did poas Friday and it was BFN. It is picking up just slightly tonight. I will call the dr tomorrow. I just hate that my body has been so messed up since the m/c. Like the m/c wasn't enough now my body has to be all screwed up too. Gosh can't a girl catch a break?! Thanks for helping me not stress ladies.
