18 days late and still negative 🙄

So last night I had the tiniest bit of spotting, and my heart sank cuz I though af was showing her ugly face. I checked my cervix and sorry tmi but it was really high, very soft and I felt what seemed to feel like something Slippery where the opening is. I’m still trying to learn the open and closed bit of it tho. But I keep having ewcm and I normally only get that right before my period and ovulation. I’ve been feeling weird dull sensations in the middle and the occasional twinges on either left or right. I’m hoping there’s a bun in my oven but waiting for a test to tell me so or af to finally show up.
