Hey Ladies!
My husband and I have just started TTC again after taking a couple of months off to get married. This is our first month since we started trying again. I ovulated on the 13th of October and we did the business on the 6th, 8th, 9th, 11th and 14th. AF started on October 1st and I have a strict 31 day cycle so I should've started on the 31st (Halloween). But I didnt. It's now the end of the 4th which would make me 5 days late and 22 dpo by my calculation.
I know for sure I ovulated around the 13th because I had a lot of clear, egg-whitey CM for roughly 4 days during my fertile time. Since 4 dpo I have been experiencing a lot of symptoms including; exhaustion, moodiness, emotional, severe headaches, nausea, minor heartburn, constipation, frequent trips to the bathroom, been very very thirsty, my skin has broken out worse then it ever has in my entire life, my boobs hurt so bad, feel heavier and fuller too.
On the day AF was due I could feel, what i could only describe as digging, in one spot in my uterus. I just assumed AF was about to start so I put a pad on. Nothing. Nothing but a lot of white and egg-white CM. What I assumed was AF was actually a lot more CM, which never ever happens to me. I usually dry up after ovulation. The digging sensation I began to experience lasted for 2 days, on and off, but always in the exact same spot. On the 3rd day I felt the digging once and it only lasted a few seconds. I also got extremely nauseous twice that day and nearly vomited both times, but still not AF. Then yesterday (4th day late) I noticed a bit of pinkinsh-brown blood when I wiped myself, so I put a pad back on thinking AF was finally here. It's been about 19 hours with this pad on and so far there is a small brown, sort of smudgy spot, on the pad. No lining, no red blood or clots. Just this brown spot. When I wipe myself now though I get reddish-brown blood on the toilet paper but its also watered down quite a bit.
I should point out I have taken I think 6 pregnancy tests. 3 Poundland one, 2 FRER and 1 Superdrug branded one. The latest test being this morning with a Poundland test. It came back with a BFN, as they all have
2 of the tests were taken within the 6 days of AF's expected date and the other 4 since I've been late.
I know I've written a lot and im sorry, I'm just so confused and don't know what to do. Yes my husband and are TTC but we never expected anything to happen on the first month of trying again. I've been taking 'Seven Seas; Trying for a baby' folic acid tablets since starting again and I've been making sure I eat a balanced diet and have had no stress since the wedding ended. Just really confused as to what to think and what to do. Is AF coming? Am I pregnant and just not got high enough hormones? Is it implantation bleeding im experiencing? Is it even possible to experience IB 4 days after AF was due?
Any stories, advice, anything! would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to remain calm in case I am pregnant, but at the same time my body is doing all kinds of things to me and I can't handle not knowing what's going on. Everyone says I should wait until im 14 days late to go to a doctor but I cant wait another 9 days...I just cant

I wanted to be pregnant, but kept getting bfn's... Grrrr
If my calculations are correct, I should ovulate again on the 17th hopefully, so we will just keep trying. At least I'm going to be busy with home improvements over the next few weeks to take my mind of things
