Hi all,
I'm a breastfeeding mama of a toddler, and though I am ttc, my cycles are still irregular. I'm okay with that. For now, I'm happy to wait to see what happens. But I'm having an unusual period that I was hoping someone might explain.
I probably had a miscarriage (after a three week gestational period) a month ago on the 22nd. I thought I felt ovulation pains around the 14th day of the cycle, but it wasn't that intense. I had a lot of egg-white mucous that day too, so it seemed like I was peaking. I thought I dried up, but then I still had more egg-white like mucous, and I thought I felt ovulation-type pains again on the 18th day. My temperatures were all low throughout, but I've never kept good track of that. Plus my ds gets up at dawn to nurse back to sleep, so I don't think my temps are accurate anyway.
I had a brownish mucousy type discharge on the 28th day, though pre-pregancy I was on a 30 day cycle (I think). It definitely reminded me of implantation bleeding. I thought that's what it was. But then half a day later, I start to bleed increasingly red blood, and then I realized I was having my period. But it was a very light period. In fact, I had to use a tampon on the second day (slept over someone's house and didn't want to make a mess), and it felt so uncomfortable and dry when usually that would be a very heavy time for me. It was light and short, but I'm still spotting and it's been 3-4 days after the period has stopped, and the spotting is brown and mucousy, much like it was at the beginning.
But there's no way I could be pregnant after having a period, right?
