What's going on?!?!?

[lovellcute]

So used opk had no smiley face, then next day had solid smiley face
This was on Tuesday
So we dtd
Well now it seems like I've just come on my period?
Just wiped and it's pinky discharge which is what I get first day of my period???
What's happened?
Were the opk wrong?
I also used the cheapy ones and there were two lines on the Monday but not as dark as test line so was 'negative'
Surely they both couldn't be wrong?
Got period cramps and feel like period is coming

But surely it's too soon?
I must have missed ovulation somehow
Gutted as this diet is actually killing me right now! Just want to eat
And I'm getting daily comments about how skinny I look!

Not sure what to do??!?? Sad face

P.s my last period started on 28th august
Surely I couldn't have such a short cycle? Is it the diet messing it up? Ahhh

Could it be implantation bleeding? Is it a full blown period or just spotting?

Just spotting! Then last time I wiped, there was noting
But that often happens when I first come on so not completely unusual!
But really do feel very periody
Achy hips and back like I usually get!
Just really worried that my cycles are screwed ...

Don't stress! It's so hard to tell what this stuff means because it could be anything. Cramping and spotting could be implantation but it seems early post ovulation? Are you about 3-4 dpo according to the opks? Sometimes the cervix thins out around o and some spotting can happen. Are you still testing opk? Had you been doing the opks since last period? Oh man, unfortunately you'll probably just have to wait and see what happens. Are you still bleeding?

Really do think it's just a waiting game
Stopped testing opk! As we dtd straight away just didn't think to keep testing!
Abit of googling says loosing weight and stress can cause this
And I tick both those boxes massively at the moment
(Moving house stress) and this diet has been stressing me out aswell!
Today I ate badly, ate nearly a whole Bread baguette.. ffs
So annoyed at myself! The thought even entered my head to be sick and then I'm like what the fuck, how have I let myself get to this stage?
Anyway hormonal rant over
Will just have to keep waiting!
No more spotting yet but it deffo feels like a period is brewing!
Thanks for replying!

Kicking myself for comfort eating today :(

It could just be midcyle spotting. While swaying I would randomly get period like bleeding every few weeks. I thought it was AF but Atomic was convinced it was breakthrough bleeding which it was! I was even getting pos OPKs even though I wasn't ovulating. It could be that your body tried to O but couldn't then spotted a bit from the drop in hormones. I would just BD every four days just in case.

And I think you might need to change up your diet a bit, you shouldn't be this miserable! You're being too hard on yourself! You're doing a great job and you're allowed cheats!

It's possible it could be AF but much more likely it's midcycle spotting.

Please relax on diet and have a cheat. no more weight loss.

[lovellcute]

I'm on upper limits 1800/2000 cals
50/60 G protein and fat
And still loosing weight
Will try and eat more fruit and veg with each meal maybe!
Really gutted as thought this was ganna be the month :(
I was fine on the diet and really positive, just the last two failed months have made me feel abit hopeless and like I will never eat properly again [emoji85]

Did the bleeding continue? I'm so sorry, that really sucks, it's stressful not knowing what the heck is going on.

I'd bet you could up the limits a little more with your breastfeeding? Or one thing I started doing when I was feeling tired of the diet, after we put the kids to bed my husband and I would share a treat like popcorn or frozen yogurt sundae, not a binge and not every night, if it went over a little on my totals it wasn't by much. It's so nice to share a snuggle and a snack, let yourself relax and enjoy it!

I think that's what I'm struggling with, the fact me and my partner used to really enjoy food together, crisps on the sofa, or share some chocolate
Now we pretty much eat separately!
Spotting is on and off! So god knows what's going on! Not sure what to do, just carry on and next month do e4d
Or continue with ovulation tests!
Such a nightmare!

Just went out for a cooked breakfast with my little boy, didn't eat any meat but wow I enjoyed the rest! Maybe I just need to relax slightly! But it's hard because if I end up having another boy I will always blame myself!
Thanks for replying x

There is nothing wrong with having some crisps now and then while swaying! The cardinal rule of swaying - "If Daddy ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" and if he is uptight all it does is add an adversarial pressure on you that probably would end up swaying blue anyway. Sit down together and have a snack tonight, watch a movie or something. :)

If the weight is coming off still, you need to eat more!!! The weight loss is the guide here, not some arbitrary limits that I made up because people demanded that I do. We have people who do even as much as like 2400 cals a month (breastfeeding is a biggie) and still get girls that way!!

Any updates on the spotting vs period, lovellcute?

I just saw your BFP!!!!!!! Congrats!!! So you must’ve missed ovulation and that positive opk was actually positive for preggo???? Were you guys doing every 4 days or so prior to that +opk? I’m so glad you snagged that egg!!! Congrats, you’re so lucky!!!!! Your sway was so good too, I’m
So happy for you!
