Getting my hopes up & expecting to be crushed

I can't talk to DH or really any of my IRL friends about this.  I've been playing/researching on the internet this morning about implantation bleeding since I was spotting a little on Tuesday and AF isn't due for another 5 days from today.  I also realize that this only happens to about 1/4-1/3 of women.  I played around with an ovulation calendar with the way my cycle normally was and the way it has been acting over the past few months and everything (ovulation, sex, spotting) seems to line up.  (I know the best way is charting/temping but that's too much pressure for me).  It's still a day or 2 too early to POAS.  I am trying really hard not to get my hopes up but that's not working too well.  I go to the doctor on Tuesday for my regular yearly check-up so I will mention it to her and see what she says.

I know stress messes up my body and I have had a lot of it lately so I am trying to convince myself that that's what caused the spotting.  But I can't shake this feeling in my head that its not stress.  I am completely expecting a negative test and have a feeling I will be very upset about that.  Normally it would be a huge relief but this time is different.  I really want a positive test.

I just had to get that out since I've been holding it in for a few days.  Thanks for "listening".

  • Ooooo Good luck!

    My first test was apparently too early (my cycles were screwy) and was a BFN, so I didn't test until days after AF was supposed to arrive.  I had implantation bleeding, but it was at the same time that I should have been starting my period, so I thought that it was the beginning of my period. A few days after it went away, I was like, "wait a minute ... "

  • ((Hugs))  I remember those feelings from when we first started TTC.   Good luck.  I hope it is a BFP!!
