Hi Ladies,
Well I was all psyched up after this months attempt... good diet, had lost weight, DH did FR and we BD through O, used Rephresh every few days and sml amount of Sylk with attempt. on CD 12 I was all psyched to test, conviced I would see a good outcome.... instead AF showed up :(
Here's the thing.... it showed up 3 days earlier than it should have, and my cycles are usually very regular with a 14 day luteal phase, however my cycles are usually ony 25-28 days. AF was VERY light, and I do mean VERY when I say very light. Not much on a sanitary pad, but when I wiped I would see a bright coloured, light, thin fluid.... sounds strange but it was 'brighter' in colour than normal AF, I guess normal blood colour almst has a dark colour to it if that makes sense? This was light, thin and brightly coloured.
In total it lasted 1.5 days, hardly anything on a pad and more spotting than anything. I would guess we are talking about a few tablespoons of liquid in total.
A big part of me was very hopeful that this might not be AF and that it could be implantation bleeding instead. I have gotten nothing but BFN's since then :( "AF" started Saturday, finished Sun lunchtime and today is Wednesday.... so either CD5 if that was AF, or 16DPO if it was not. I'm guessing if it was implantation then I would have seen a BFP by now though right? Plus in all honesty, in early stages of ph with DS I experienced a metallic taste in my mouth, strong sense of smell etc... I have none of that this time around :(
The other thing is that about 3-4DPO in the last cycle I was struck down with very bad food poisoning... I had very bad gastro symptoms that lasted about 18hrs or so including severe vomiting. I could not keep anything down and thought at one stage I might have to go to Hospital it was that bad.... thankfully it passed and I was back to normal the day after. I did lose 2-3kg from this one day alone. When I used 'Dr Google' to see what could cause a light period answers such as poor diet, eating disorder etc kept appearing. Could the Food Poisoning have caused this extremely light period I experienced? Maybe something else I have not thought of?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated xxx
