yesterday evening I had some very mild cramping, just enough that it was noticeable and it was while I was nursing Spencer to sleep and for a bit just afterwards, so it's associated with nursing. Then this morning after going pee I had alot of mucus that had a light brown color. I don't usually have that color of cervical fluid (cf) and I've been dry for a couple days and other than that, today. I know brown means old blood but it wasn't a dark brown and it was alot of mucus that was sandy brown. COuld that be spotting? I'm not sure how to chart this. I wouldn't call it eggwhite, it's not at all like my normal eggwhite. It was very thick, not thin, stretchy and mostly clear. Could it be I spotted just slightly? Has anyone had that?

Ofcourse this doesn't help with my TTC, I'm thinking, Oh maybe it is implantation spotting or something, and it's been VERY tempting to test. But I promised myself that I wouldn't test earlier than 10 dpo, which is tomorrow, but I'm trying for 12 or 13 DPO. I doubt I'll make it though, with this, plus I've been needing to pee all the time, especially today. I'll go pee and then in an hour or two I'm needing to go so badly, I'm tired of using the toilet. Today I was saying to myself, Why I'm needing to pee so much, am I cleansing or something, I'm not drinking extra water? Than I started thinking maybe it's an early preg. sign or soemthing. I've been driving myself nuts with possible signs. The other signs are acne (which I usually get just before af, but I tend to get more of it in preg., especially in the beginning, so it can go either way) and more tired than usual (which I also get just before af). But with those two things now, I'm starting to trick myself into hoping their early pregnancy signs.

The moment of truth will happen soon enough though!

But what about that mucus? How do I put that in my chart, do you think it's spotting or no?

Yes that would be charted as spotting :) . It could very well be implantation. It is normaly is about 2 days after implantation you can get enough HCG for a BFP.

I had the same stuff early in this pregnancy. I had alot of thick mucus stuff. Not like regular CM. It was sort of light brown and yellow. (which was kinda strange) I've never had it before. And ohhhh the peeing! Very early this time. Sounds like it could be a pregnancy???

TAKE THE TEST!!!

I can't wait to hear!

Well, a lesson learned. God is in control and he never varies from what He has said no matter what I do or want to have happen. AF arrived, so I'm not pregnant, even though it was so well timed (twice on ov day). God has already shown me approx. when baby will come (I'll be VERY pregnant when Rebekah turns 8; so I'll likely conceive end of October or November). I should just be happy with that and understand there is wisdom in it. So, I'll TRY not to fret so much over it, I still chart, I've always charted and I like undersdtanding my body and cycle. And there is nothing wrong with timing it correctly and in other words opening up the possibility; God's in control no matter what I do, so I'll conceive when it is right and not a month sooner or later. That's the difference, the attitude, I won't worry so much over it, just let it happen and understand that God will let me conceive when it is right. Am I making any sense?

[myangelsmama]

Makes perfect sense to me. :flowers: How can a Christian live with any other mindset? I'm sorry that you have to wait, I know how tough that is, but I am glad that you can understand and have patience while you wait on His perfect timing. :_biggrin:

Well, enjoy the journey. :innocent:

[NaturalMama]

Thanks!

Yes, I couldn't imagine how I could get through life as many do without God. And I do understand, but I don't know about the patience part.

[daqurie]

yep I understand that is why we just leave it up to God all the time now because he alone opens or closes the womb. There are many times I think I MUST be pregnant ( like last cycle) because the timing was all right , but nope it was not the right time in God's plan.

Thanks Daq!

That's what we'll be doing now. Dh and I were just talking about this and his response is the same; just let it be and God will send another baby to us in His perfect timing.
