Trying not to get too excited!

Ali • Full-time student working on my RN-BSN while expecting baby number 1! Due July 2016! ❤️
Period is a day late! Had some slight spotting earlier this week, but no other symptoms (normally I spot/have cramps/sore breasts for a week before I start). 
I'm going to try my best to give it a few days before I test, and try not to get too excited! 
In terms of spotting before you potentially get a BFP, has anyone experienced this? I read it might be your body getting rid of old blood? 
In the meantime, baby dust to all! :)
