13 DPO stretchy, bloody cm? (TMI alert)

[Benjismom1987]

So, normally the day before my period, my temp drops to about 97.6 or around there, and I start spotting that night. (Would be today)

Today, like yesterday, my temp is slightly over 98. (Today it's 90.03)

I was using the restroom earlier, and when I went to wipe, I had this HUGE string of stretchy CM with brown/pinkish blood IN it. Upon further investigation, there was a LOT. Light brown, light pink. A few trips later, there was another LONG LONG glob with this perfect pin stripe of red right down the middle.

I have NEVER seen this before. Not sure if my period is doing something new (In 13 years of cycles, this is a first for this), or maybe I have some hope left? I am crampy, and my bbs are sore, but i'm not irritable as I would normally be. The cramping is different, i'm not bent over like I normally would be.

Am I nuts? I tested this am, and it was BFN (of course). I know it's most likely not going to happen... I had really just given up, but this is just... weird.

Any thoughts? Weird period or implantation? I guess the next 12 hours will tell us... Any thoughts would be insightful. I'm just impatient.

Oh, I did take an OPK as well. It is about 1/2 the color of the control line. I know that isn't an indicator, but I found it odd. *shrug*

Doesn't sound like a period, fingers crossed for you!

What was the outcome? That sounded promising!
