Af due 8/25 or 8/27

I'm a stay at home mom in Idaho TTC #3. I miscarried between my 1st and 2nd child and had spotting through the first half of my pregnancy with my 2nd.

I went off BC 4 months ago and have had spotting for up to a week before my af starts each time. My cycles average 26 days.

My af is due according to this ap 8/25 and according to fertility friend on 8/30.

Everytime I spot before my af I get excited thinking it is implantation bleeding then when I get the bfn and af comes I get more disappointed then I would have without the spotting.

I'd like to have a cycle buddy that can help keep my spirits up through spotting.
