I am usually soooo predictable, my periods are always 5-6 days, light in the beginning then heavy through the middle. This month will TTC my period came a day early lasted 3 days and I used all of 8 tampons in the process. Not my usual. I have taken 2 HPT but they are from the dollar store and hate to trust them. Is there a possibility that an irregular period could still come while preggo?? It wasnt super light but just strange compared to the norm...

I am in a similar situation...

I'm also very regular, my cycle is 24-26 days and I usually have my period for 6 days....light in the begining, heavy in the middle, and light again at the end.

We are TTC and according to my charting, we BD on the 7th and 9th...right around my ovulation. I did not expect my period until the 25th (or so). On the 18th I woke up with some brown, it was only there when I wiped. The 19th and 20th it became bright red, but I only used a handful of tampons. On the 20th it stopped altogether. It was about a week early and nowhere near regular!

I took a test on the 27th and got a BFN! Now I don't know when to expect my next period, how do I calculate my next ovulation with such a short period!

Any information you find or any comments anyone has...I would love to hear.

I had that in April and had no clue that I was pregnant. I had a pretty light what I thought was a period in april. It was 5 days long. I took a test in march because I thought I was pregnant and got a neg. I didn't get a positive until I was 7 weeks pregnant.I'm now 15 weeks pregnant. Good luck girls. Baby dust to the both of you!!
