Cycle Perplexities

is it normal to have spotting or a very light flow after ovulation and before a period to start? for the last 5 months my period been way off - its been late or missing just simply weird lately.

So Af arrived on 2/11 two days early. Then it was over by monday usually last 4 days. Now I am having some pink spotting and cramping at work. Don't know what to think plus I also have this headache and I have this terrible taste in my mouth . Weird thing is I didn't get my usual pre menstrual symptoms. Now I am having the usual symptoms nausea, etc.

What do I do? Too soon to test right?

So my cycle is usually 32 days long on average. Planning a wedding has got me under enormous amounts of stress lately, and I'm now 7 days late. There is no way I'm pregnant. How long can I be late before I can count on it as a missed period?

Okay, I am having some weirdness go on with my body that I'm hoping someone can relate to. I already have twins, but would love to be pregnant right now if it's what God wants for my DH and me. We're not TTC actively, but we're not preventing either.

So, this past month about a week before my period was due I spotted. And this spotting lasted about a week. I thought perhaps I was having an extremely light period, but after stopping for about two days I got what I believe to have been AF. This particular AF was different than any other I've gotten. I had dark, red, crimson blood (sorry if tmi) and not clots. I'm firmly believe it was AF, but just sort of strange and it was def heavy. This is all after stopping the nuvaring-this cycle would be month 2 off of it.

Mainly what I want to know about is has anyone else experienced this, the week long spotting before AF I mean?

Another weirdness I have is I have muscle spasms in my lower abdominal that feel like baby movement. Weird I know, but I want to know if anyone else out there felt, or feels, "phantom movement" as it's been about three days where I feel it. If you have HAD it, what was it? Or did it go away on it's own?

I have always had regular cycles of about 30 days. I have only experienced an irregular cycle once after I went off the BC pill for the first time. Then they returned to normal and I got pregnant. I had my daughter In May of 2010. Right after that I went on the Mini pill. I had a period 7 weeks after my daughter was born then another about 3.5 weeks later. After that I had an IUD put in. With the IUD I spotted on and off and had period like flows for almost 3 whole months. I had the IUD removed and went back on the mini pill. I had a light flow for about 3 days right after I had the IUD removed. Then I had spotting for two days in the middle of my cycle and another day about 13 days later. When my period was about 3 days late I took a HPT and got a BFN. I took 4 more HPTs throughout the last couple weeks and all were BFN. I also do not really have any preggo symptoms. But I am now going on CD 45. I stopped taking the pill after 1 month because my husband and I want to start trying for #2. I am still breastfeeding but not full time because my child is on solids now. Anyone else in the same position or has anyone else had trouble getting back to regular cycles after BC or while breastfeeding?

I have PCOS, and the only thing I am taking is Metformin 500mg twice a day. That is to combat the diabetes since my blood sugar was slightly elevated when I went in for a full round of labs.

What I want to know is have any of you, who have PCOS, ever experience a period once every two months?

That is my current cycle that has started back on Nov 19, 2010 after I slipped and fell in the bathroom which caused bleeding to occur. At the time of the fall I was going on cycle day 55 since my period had last started.

The bleeding lasted 10 days and was bright red and heavy most of the time after about 3 days of dark brown old blood. Then in December I didn't have a period although once or twice I had light spotting of pinkish to brown blood but nothing heavy enough to warrant a pantyliner, pad, tampon, or my diva cup. The spotting only lasted half a day minimum, and 1 day maximum. Finally about 4 days ago my period shows up again, this time with lots of painful cramping for 2 days and a very heavy flow.

If anyone who has PCOS has experienced this before I'd be interested in knowing how things ended for you, what you did to regulate this, and have you been successful in TTC and getting pregnant.

Also ... birth control is out of the question, it is against my husband's religion to even consider it.
