This is the worst part if my cycle….the part where I try to convince myself that AF is coming, but in the back of my mind all I can think is that maybe she’s not, maybe THESE symptoms are different and they are pregnancy symptoms.
I feel like I get weird symptoms every month now. Last month was my first time ever spotting. Of course when I looked spotting up online, all I got were tons of pages about implantation spotting and it usually happening on cd 7 – 10. Well it started for me on CD 9, so I thought….this much be it. WRONG. AF showed up full force a couple days later. So what, now I’m a spotter?
Well, I started spotting yesterday. Just barely though. Much lighter than last month. Last month I didn’t even have enough to fill a pantyliner, but it was consistent. Every time I went to the rest room there were a couple more drops. This time, I saw a little spotting when I woke up yesterday and then nothing for the rest of the day. And today, I’ve had just not even 1 drop. The lightest little bit of “rust” color. So since this time the spotting is “different” I am of course, convincing myself that I must be pregnant this time.
I just hate when I convince myself like this, and then later that day, or the next day, or 2 days later, AF comes on full force.
Also, I noticed this morning that my breasts are very tender and swollen…but I’ve had that symptom for AF before to. So it could be either!
I am having mild cramping……which feels like AF, but I’ve also heard that some ppl have AF like cramps as pg symptoms! Why do pg symptoms and AF symptoms have to be so alike?? Is it to make me crazy?!?! Stay away AF, I want a BFP this month!
