Symptom spotting

[Gvw015]

hi everyone.
I’ve doubled up this post as I wasn’t sure which forum it suited. I hope that’s not against the rules.

I’m currently 13dpo, due for AF tomorrow by my calculations. First cycle ttc since Mmc in July/August.

I Did an OPK, I felt ovulation cramping day after +OPK. marked as ovulation day (13 days ago.)

At 9dpo in the evening, I had very mild cramping.
10dpo I had what I thought was a 24 hour virus - nausea, headcold, extreme exhaustion. etc. was fine the following day.
11dpo I had pink tinged CM in the evening. Two wipes and it was gone.
Nothing at 12dpo.
Today - 13dpo - i did a 25miu IC TEST, I didn’t see anything though. (BFN) I thought I’d see how my cervix position is this evening, and It’s really high, almost out of reach, and had a really thick gummy CM with red streaking in it.

Would I be kidding myself If I started to feel optimistic? I’m so scared I’ll get myself feeling excited to have AF show up and shatter me back into al the pieces I only just put together after the MMC.

Help a girl out please. I’m literally hanging by a thread with this all right now.

Hey! This sounds good, and sometimes you can't get a bfp until af is due. Plus maybe you ovulated a bit later than you think? I am also after a chemical and my ovulation is significantly delayed. Fx for you! You have been trying for a long time, I hope this is it this time.

Thankyou. I’m so scared about testing again. It’s possible I ovulated later. I’m not late yet though and through my years of ttc I’ve narrowed down ovulation symptoms pretty well lol.
In my heart I honestly would be surprised if I weren’t pregnant. I’ve never hd so many things line up. Even with the last pregnancy (loss) I had zero symptoms. Nothing that made me wonder if I was.

This whole thing is utterly exhausting.

It is really so exhausting. But it sounds good, don't lose hope, you are allowed to be optimistic, even if it turns out to be another af in the end...

Thankyou. Sometimes you just need someone to tell you it’s okay to be hopeful.
I’m starting to feel embarrassed about being optimistic tbh. Nearing 4 years ttc you’d think I’d learn to be a bit more nonchalant about it.

Nonchalant?! This is such a high expectation! I am only ttcing a year and feel like a hero for not having lost my mind completely...
Keep us updated when you test again, fx for you!!

I've got everything crossed for you

BFN this morning. I’m assuming that means AF will come today.

I'm sorry. Hugs.

had brown bleeding most of the day. It’s tapered off now but I’m not thinking into that.

I’m just saying I’m out.

We’re off to see the specialist on Monday so maybe they can offer us some MORE options... unlikely but might make me feel more in control I suppose

I hope that you get some answers soon

Hope the specialist can find something helpful to try. Good luck dear!
