When the 2ww doesn’t go as planned

Tina • Christian Wife, Mother, and Entrepreneur

AF was due to come March 7th. I usually have a regular 27-28 day cycle, and this cycle was my first time using opk’s and pre-seed in addition to tracking CM. So I was pretty hopeful for this month. I didn’t have any of my normal pms symptoms such as cramping, backache and being grumpy... my CM was creamy instead of the usual dry. So I had my fingers double crossed 🤞🏽. Tested the 7th, 8th and 9th... all negative. Three days late and I kept getting stupid BFN. The 10th I started spotting, then later that day I had a medium flow. Okay, guess I’m out. The 11th I had more medium flow as well as some tissue pass... telling myself I’m definitely out. The 12th I had light spotting in the morning then nothing... this morning just light spotting when I went to the bathroom then nothing.

“This isn’t normal” I think to myself. Usually I have a few hours of spotting and light flow on the first day, followed by two days of medium to heavy flow and the last day would be light flow followed by a day or two of spotting. My “period” was just cut in half 🙄. My husband says “well maybe you’re still pregnant because this happened when you found out you were pregnant with (my son).” 😐 obviously he has a better memory than me because this did happen with my last pregnancy and I found out I was pregnant the following month when af didn’t show at all. Sooooo, now I guess I’m in an extended 2ww... because I’m not testing no more and I’m not about to stress over am I or am I not.

Wishing our body had a more definitive “yes/no” you’re pregnant sign because this is more stressful than I remember it 😂
