Hey all, I'm new here 
I apologize for the novel!
I had my Mirena removed in March and the hubs and I currently aren't using any forms of birth control. We're in a comfortable spot right now, so it wouldn't be ruinous if i were to become pregnant. My cycles have been kinda up and down since having the IUD out, but my most recent period was particularly odd - it was heavy right from the first day, lasted 4 days, and then stopped - seriously, like turning a tap on and off. normally my periods begin light, are heavy by day 3/4, and taper off again. I use a period planner app, which said I was supposed to ovulate on June 21st, but since maybe the 19th or so, i've been feeling....peculiar. i started taking notes from 8dpo(june 29).
- 8dpo - pinching/tugging in pelvis, some creamy cm, leg/back cramps, feeling like hips are being pried apart (SO WEIRD FEELING.), suuuuper hungry, clear skin (despite AF being due within the week, normally I have at least a couple of hormonal spots by now), fatigue, gassy, "backed up", achy everywhere (boobs too), hair on head very coarse and dry(significantly, even though nothing in my personal routine has changed)
- 9dpo - pinching/tugging, very very tired, achy boobs, sensitive nips, stomach feels watery, gassy, very thirsty, hair very coarse and dry, nauseated, hungry, leg/back cramps, bloating, weird feeling in hips again, hot flashes
- 10dpo - pinching/tugging, very thirsty, dry/coarse hair, body aches, sore boobs, hungry, nausea, headache, nipples feel "glassy" (like there's shards in them), bloating, gassy, hungry
i tested twice a few days ago and BFN both times...do i wait it out, or am i psyching myself up?
