cramping daily, early spotting?????

Here is the short story:

8/6/03 - 8/10/03 = AF

8/14 = cramping like AF begins and has been ongoing daily now for 13 days w. minor back ache

8/17 = spotting *just a little amount of red blood on TP

8/18 = spotting *more of a tinted pink on TP

8/24 = breasts sore and getting more sore daily

So I have had sustained daily AF like cramps, back ache, breasts really sore and it seems a little early for them to be considering I shouldn't be starting until 9-2. My last cycle was about 6 days late this last month.

Here is the kicker, my DH had a vasectomy 6 years ago. I have had an ovarian cyst before, and this doesn't feel like it, I have had my back adjusted, been tested for UTI and I have taken 2 pregnancy tests. The preg. test and UTI were Neg.

Anyone have any thoughts? I do keep having a constant urge to pee and am pretty thirsty right now. So I drink a lot of water so I pee a lot. But I woulnd't consider peeing a lot to be a symptom, more like the effect of being thristy.

This is just odd.

Yes, it is odd! Hmmmm, the first things that came to my mind were pregnancy and a cyst. When I had a cyst, I thought I was pregnant. I had sore breast, nausea and dizziness. And I did get a period, though I was on the pill at the time.

If you started your period on the 8/6 and the cramps started 8/14, that seems a bit early for pregnancy symptoms. Though I wouldn't discount it totally. Do you know when you ovulated? Unless of course you are pregnant from last month and just happened to get a period. It does happen.

I don't really know what to tell you. You could call your doctor or wait it out till 9/2 and see if your period comes.

For peace of mind, maybe you should have your DH tested and make sure that vasectomy is still working!

Good luck to you!

That is the funny thing. This was to be the first month that I was going to begin to keep track of my ovulation. I know when I ovulate becase of the huge amounts of clear cm. This time it was as if my period had a lot of it. Then I saw a little more of it on the 17th & 18 but not even close the volume of the typical amount. I tested with an ovulation strip on the 18th and 19th which is when I should if you count the days, but I had no symptoms. My breast tenderness lasted for a bit after my period ended too.

how funny would it be if I did get pregnant after we decided to have his vasectomy reversed at the begining of next year? I think that would be great, and it would certainly save us money! LOL

well I did already have my annual scheduled for tomorrow so we will see what she says.

Thanks
