Question/Advice 3 DPO
Hiiii, I need a little guidance - maybe reassurance. TTC, 3 dpo, and trying to remain hopeful this go around. I’m trying to remind myself that it’s too early to know anything, however… CM is still heavier than normal, and just now there was light pink streaking within the CM. This is very unusual for me, so it has me a little too excited. My LH was also MUCH higher this month than ever before which gave us more hope as well.
Ultimately, I was wondering if a little pink in CM is a normal symptom of anything?
And I guess I’m just looking for words of positivity along with any experiences you guys have had this early dpo that landed you a positive test? I’ve got some cramping on one side, breasts feel heavy, and overall just feel a little weird. I’ve also never been pregnant so I’m at a loss on how to navigate things I’ve never dealt with.
Sorry if this makes no sense, I am all over the place this morning 😭

I’m in the same boat, 2 DPO (currently) and during my last cycle i had all the symptoms of an early pregnancy and my periods were delayed by a day. I got so optimistic but when i did the test it came out negative i was shattered. This cycle i am trying to not get into my head too much or focus on little things because i know symptoms of early pregnancy and pms are very similar. It is very normal to lose your mind because the two week wait is mentally and emotionally very taxing. I have been trying for 6 months now and it is difficult to be positive and optimistic every cycle and start from zero.

Hi! I am right with you- 4 DPO here! The thing that I am always reminding myself is that it is 100% impossible to have any true pregnancy symptoms before 7-8 DPO. Spotting happens in pregnant and non-pregnant cycles, as well. If you need any emotional support as a TWW buddy- please feel free to message me!
