I really hope it is for you but I hate to say it, you'd probably better be prepared for AF to show up.

It's SO HARD when you're TTC to not read too much into every symptom, I know. Do you check your cervix at all? If you do, and you're at all open, then it's AF. Sorry. :(

Prepared for the worse, hope for the best, right? I always find the 2WW is the most agonizing as you can't DO anything, at least if it is AF it's a new cycle, new beginning, and best of all you can have a big cheat meal of ANYTHING you want, which is what I'm telling myself so I can look forward to the red witch showing up!

Me too very time I tell myself it's IB and it never is. Its was AF coming. i had a bleed last night 5dpo and I won't even think its IB bc it's probably not. Sorry to be Debbie downer ....

So I know there is something not right. I thinking it might of been a chemical. My actual AF wasn't due to show until oct 3rd.

Ah, I'd forgotten you'd POAS'ed. That makes it extra hard I know. :( Unfortunately it sounds like it could be a chemical. If it's any reassurance, though, usually the ones that fail to implant are unhealthy anyways, your body rejects them and that's a good thing even if it's really depressing atm.

The mucous-y spotting really does sound like AF..... I remember when I was obsessively checking when TTC with DS3 it would always be mucous-y red streaky for a day or two before AF showed up full force...... It's so hard but I'm trying not to symptom obsess, sometimes that means closing the GD forums because it's just not healthy to let this swallow you up!

Hugs to you, just plan your big treat meal for when the witch shows up - mine is SUSHI and lots of cheesecake!!

Sorry you are dealing with this. Hugs for you!
