So-- I had a very light period this month, shorter than normal and lighter than normal. I use a Diva Cup, so I am very aware of how much, color, etc. and this month was, well, different. Much lighter flow, darker in color, thicker/more mucusy, and shorter. I usually have a 7 day very heavy period, this was 4 and pretty light, very light for me. But it was on time, my normal 35 day cycle. I didn't think much about it, I've always been somewhat irregular in my cycles and flow. However, I had a drink tonight, a hard lemonade, and it just tasted bad, like I could taste the alcohol, which was my first sign I was preggo with DS at about 6 weeks, I tasted the alcohol in a beer. I had been on birth control then, and off of it, and hadn't gotten my cycles back, so I didn't know timing.
Anyway, I started thinking back and realized that I've had leg cramps and restless legs, which tend to be a PG symptom for me, as well as headaches and nausea in the last couple weeks. I've just felt off and kept telling DH that I was coming down with something. But work has been super stressful, and I'm pretty wrung out, so I just chalked it all up to that. I was SURE I was pregnant last month, just sure. It wasn't likely, as we did use a condom, but certainly possible, we weren't, umm..., as careful as we could have been
during the deed and started w/o protection. But I had really sore nipples, which isn't normal for me, but they went away. The pain that is, not the nipples! And I had to pee alot.
I know that you can't truly have a period while pregnant, but I have heard of women having cycles that were close in time to their periods, especially early on. This did not happen with my three other pregnancies, two to term and a m/c in between my DC. I'll test tomorrow, but I wanted opinions! If I was PG, I would be due in late April, around 6 weeks PG. What do you think? I am stressing for nothing? What are the odds that my 4 day light flow "period" wasn't truly a period?
