First Cycle TTC no symptoms at all?
This is my first cycle TTC, and I’ve never felt more frustrated with how much I’ve been symptom stalking. Normally, about a week before my period, I get the full PMS package — cramping, bad bloating, acne, sore breasts, intense back pain, cravings, everything.
But this cycle has been completely different. Since it’s my first TTC cycle, I’ve been obsessing over every tiny change, worried it might mean my usual PMS is coming, except it never did. I’m 11 DPO now, about three days from when my period should arrive, and I still have none of my typical PMS symptoms and none of the classic pregnancy symptoms either.
Then at 10 DPO, after intercourse, I wiped and saw a little bleeding — mostly pink and brown with a tiny bit of red. I assumed it was the start of AF, but after that first wipe, there was nothing. I even wore a liner overnight, and when I woke up (and all day today), still nothing. So I’m guessing it was irritation, but at 26, that has never happened to me. The strange part is that there was absolutely nothing on my partner at all
The only things I’ve felt started just a couple of days ago:
• a very mild, maybe 1/10 cramp on my right side once or twice a day for about three days, then nothing
• very mild nausea, mostly when I’m hungry
• very mild dizziness here and there
• since the bleed last night, on and off mild (2-3/10 pain) central cramps
• vivid dreams and then 3 days of not sleeping at all
That’s it. No breast soreness, no sleepiness, no full nausea, nothing dramatic.
And as of this morning, still a BFN. I’m confused because I can’t find anything online about having zero PMS symptoms when I normally get hit so hard I’m curled up, crying with a heating pad by now. This cycle feels so unusual, and I’m trying to make sense of it.
Any insight would be appreciated.
