Well, I've made it to 10 DPO! 🎉 Thank goodness. Yesterday and the day before, my cervix was high, soft, and very tightly closed. Between yesterday and today it's turned firm, and I can't really tell if it's still closed or beginning to open (it's hard to tell since the firmness is different) but I'm assuming it's probably starting to open, like it always does a day or two before AF comes. 🤷‍♀️

My body is doing a lot of strange little things that have me 🤔🤔🤔 and as much as I'm trying to ignore the possible "symptoms," I think I've started getting my hopes up.

My boobs were only sore for about a day (around 5/6 DPO, I think) and it completely went away. However, since yesterday my nips have become increasingly more sore, to the point that when they're hard, they actually throb and ache and it's excruciating. So, that's new. My uterus feels "sore," rather than crampy, and I have this one spot on the left that started becoming noticeably painful yesterday. It hurts if I bend, cough, or apply pressure in that general area, and it was pretty painful yesterday while BD'ing. Certain positions made it almost too much to bear. There's a few other things that are pretty TMI, so I'll spare you the details. I'm trying not to let myself symptom spot, but the pains in particular are hard to ignore. I know it's probably just my body being ridiculous, but I couldn't help getting my hopes up slightly... and so of course I talked myself into testing yesterday and this morning (let's be honest-- I didn't need that much convincing) and as always, now I'm just even more confused. 🤦‍♀️ Why do I do this to myself??? I'll post pictures in the comments...
