I’m confused and wonder if you could lend some advice or your own thoughts on the differences that you have experienced on this topic.
I have regular cycles around 27 days (sometimes 26). My menstruation typically starts light and is super heavy the second day (red in color). It typically lasts 4-5 days. On day 12 of my cycle I have a positive OFK and subsequently had intercourse. I either ovulated on day 13 or 14 so today would be around CD 11. Yesterday morning, I started with a very bright colored blood and then experienced nothing until later in the afternoon. Later it was more and I had some cramping. I used a tampon b/c I did not have pads. That night it was only on one side. Two different times I had a drop on my underwear. Overnight it did not fill half the tampon. Today was the same thing. In fact after six hours and then checking the tampon, it was filled about half way, but my guess is that it was not soaked all the way through. The color is not the same as usual, but it seems like I shouldn’t have that much blood b/c what I read says “spotting”. Typically, today I would be really heavy and it is about half that. It is also three or four days prior to my period so I am confused. It feels like a period, but I am unsure because of the bright color and amount. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'm about 12 dpo, according to one calculator... about 9 dpo according to another. (Isn't that always the way things seem?) It's our first month ttc, thus my first month off the ring, so I'm not really sure when everything is supposed to be starting since I've been on bc for so many years. If I'm a 28 day cycle, I'm not supposed to start my period until Monday (today's Friday). However, on Tuesday, I started spotting and still am. It's nothing like a period on bc much less off of it (it was awful and heavy and looong... thus going on bc to begin with). So- I'm all confused. It's a variety of colors, but there doesn't seem to be any (sorry for tmi) "stuff" coming with it... just a little blood. I'm keeping a tampon in just for work since I only have 1 bathroom break in 8 hrs, but it's not even enough bleeding to need one at home. Sooo- according to another site, I should get a reasonably accurate pregnancy test on Saturday (tomorrow), but I'm just wondering if maybe my timing was off... like if this is my period, my ovulation calculation would have been off by about a week... and if it's not and my cycle is longer than 28 days, would it be too early to test?

And is there somewhere that can explain what all the acronyms mean?!
Sincerely,
LOL-ing while TTC and counting the DPO :D

Hello. My situation is more or less like yours except my period is supposed to be due two days after. What happened? Did your flow get heavy or did you get your BFP? :D

No it didn't get heavier it's still the same and it's only when I wipe sorry to much info and it's brown not like a normal period I'm not having any cramps at all a little bloated but, not as usual and it's very light I'm not sure what that means though because it started very light yesterday and it has never done that before so I'm still hoping that I'm pregnant. Thanks for your reply back :)

I have 21 day cycle. I was a day late on my period and today my SO and I had intercourse today and my pantiliner was barely filled with bright red blood. I assumed it wAs my period so I put a tampon on. So I hours later I went to take the tampon out and there was only one drop of blood! Nothing since. I am 13 dpo and tested this morning and got a bfn. Something I noticed differently this cycle was I felt completely normal. No symptoms of AF or pregnancy. I feel so confused now!

i was 8 days late with my period which has never happened just started ttc last months so maybe just have my hopes up! Well anyways i have been really tired awful back pains and tender boobs for 2 weeks. This morning went to the bathroom and had bright red blood was disappointed. I used a tampon and when i took it out there was hardly any blood and some brown blood. Now its been kind of like big drops every now and then still bright red but pt yesterday was BFN. So is it just a late period? Or to soon to test?

Hello.... Ok Im suppose to have my period every month on the 23 of each month. Its always like that every month but on the 22th of this month which is Oct i wiped myself and i seen blood on the tissue it was kinda light pink and red and the same time... After that wipe i kept checking to see if i was going to see more blood but i didn't see anymore that day. Which isn't normal. So on the 23 of this month which im suppose to have had my cycle i didn't have my cycle i missed my period. I don't know if that's a sign of pregnancy or what??? Can someone give me some feed back on what can it be please and thanks

Last period on Sept 12. Supposed to ovulate around 27-29. BD on 27, 29, and Oct 1, Supposed to get period on the 12th. On the 15th had a gush of watery cm in the morning and one light brown cm streak after wipe. Tested on the 16th, negative. Brown spotting and light cramps continue, not enough for liner. On the 16th around 7pm Bright red watery blood when i wiped, then nothing. Oct 17th occasional spot after peeing light brown. 3-8 pm constantly noticing i had to pee every 30 mins. Oct 18th. I went to the bathroom often in the morning. At 10 am i peed a little per usual and when i wiped i had dark red clots and a bleed similar to my AF. Could this be the start of AF or leftover implantation. I'm waiting to test tomorrow Friday the 19.
