Ok thanks Atomic, that is so helpful!
My period only lasted 3-4 days instead of 5 days and it was super light. Do you think this could affect conceiving? I haven’t lost any weight recently, I’ve been steady for about a month or so. I’m still eating LE style plus coffee & some alcohol.
My LP was 14 days this last cycle.

Shorter lighter periods are super common with swaying and we take it as an encouraging sign. https://www.genderdreaming.com/forum...lighter+period
I get this question frequently, and this has never been indicative of any issue. In fact many of the people went on to get pregnant the very next month after asking me this.
Keep in mind that firstly your period tells you what happened LAST month, and every month you will grow a new lining. And 3-4 days is not unusually short, it's in normal range. Many of us, myself included, always have 3-4 day periods. The month I conceived my daughter, I had a crazy short period, only about a day of bleeding and a bit of spotting. But that didn't affect my lining the next month, and I was able to get pregnant regardless.
Plus, the lining is really one of the last things to worry about - you'd be seeing short LP and very long cycles (not to mention extreme weight loss and being super low BMI) before you'd see your lining affected negatively.

Awesome, hopefully this means the changes I’ve made are working! I did have some spotting today, just a little bit of bright red blood mixed with some CM, which is very unusual for CD 6, especially since I had nothing CD5. So it was like this, CD1 light bleeding, CD 2 heavy bleeding, CD 3 light bleeding, CD 4 spotting (pretty much non-existent), CD 5 nothing, CD 6 bright red spotting in cm.
I’m trying not to overthink or become control freak, but it just seems so unusual, particularly now the spotting a day later. Im feeling happy overall with the fact that there are changes, and I plan to focus on the OPKs from here on out.

A little spotting after your period ends is super common. Try not to read anything into it. It ususally is a lot less blood than you think it is!

Ok, this OPK is from earlier today while I was at work. It’s lighter, so I’m not sure if I missed the surge or what’s going on. I’m going to take another when I get home from work, but we plan to BD tonight anyway because our e4d pattern lands today.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
