I Think Im DrIving Myself Nuts!!!

Hello Ladies,

The title says it all and i think im doing that to myself this month when i dont even think i should.I think something is kind of offish this month for me. sometimes i just dont honestly feel right, like im becoming a major paranoid person about my body since ive been noticing things that i either never took notice to or just never noticed before. Heres my story:

My ovulation day was either 7/9-7/10 and I had intercourse on 6/30(last day of period) & 7/3(3 days after;CD10), both using protection but things can happen. my fertile period was from 7/5-7/10 and i saw some mid-cycle bleeding(so i think it was) on 7/5, but only when i wiped i saw it only once. I dont think it would be implantation bleeding for as though i didnt even start ovulating yet. My af for the month of June was only a 26 day cycle when its normally a 28 da cycle(give or take a day or two). Since 7/9 i've been experiencing nipple soreness thats off/on and is still here, but rather erect sometimes. Also noticed some(sorry tmi) white/creamy stickyish cm yesterday and day before(was like in a half dime size blob when i wiped on that day) that didnt seem to last to long. also feel like there's air bubbles popping in there(gross, i know). it was right after i ovulated and i never noticed or took notice to that all my other cycles and didnt know if that was normal and then it just got drier as the day went on. Today is CD21 for me and i havent felt much different except for some ocassional light cramping like feelings in my lower abdomen & pelvic area that been going on/off today and previous days and some weird feelings in my uterus area on the sides sometimes; it could be gas but who knows. AF isnt due until saturday(June 22nd)

I just dont know what to think anymore and becoming slightly worried....again. I really would like some help even if i might be becoming a nuisance to you all(i think that i am honestly, sorry about that by the way lol). So do you think im just stressing for nothing or for something? What are even my chances of being pregnant at all?

Thanks for advice given....thats if i even get any lol.

Nicole

You may be having a play of the mind since you are looking for signs. Try to keep yourself occupied and pregnancy issues off your mind till its time to test yourself. I know I am waiting right now for a time to test and I have about 10 days left so it is hard. Its always on my mind but I try to avoid looking for signs.
It is quite early to have many signs of pregnancy. I knnow people have signs but ovulation also has many of the signs you stated.

I have a 28 day cycle most of the time but occassionaly I have a 24-26 day cycle. Not all women ovulate at the same time each month if their period is thrown off or you change your diet, have increase in stress etc. You may be having a late ovulation compared to your normal cycle. Since you had a shorter cycle last month you may be delayed from what you normally count (just a theory). Ovulation can be felt for a short period on the day of in the lower abdomen. I never noticed signs till I was starting to try to conceive. I took notice and white discharge is normal discharge leading up to and at ovulation time and your cervical fluids will begin to change after ovulation to a dryer state. You could very well be pregnant but if you keep your mind on the symptoms you may force your body to react to the signs in a wishful thinking mode and can be in for a let down if you are not pregnant. I wish you the best of luck and let us know if you find out you are or not. You are in my prayers that you get what you want out of this situation.

Thanks for replying. I hope there not signs of pregnancy, but more of just my af coming next week. I kind of think its unlikely being that i did it with protection that neither broke or leak from what i saw and that it was 3 days after my af ended. i didnt start ovulating til the 7/9-7/0 and my fertil period started from 7/5. i had did it on 7/3. but then all of a sudden i saw the the mid-cycle bleeding and noticing things that i never saw or took notice to see before, along with the feelings that im having. Plus im dry down there today;no cm at all. i would choose for me becoming pregnant in another 5 years(when im 25, im 20 now), not right now. i think my chances are low since i chart everything from my cm to my symptoms of how im feeling for the month and even my fertile period along with ALWAYS using protection w/ lube to be on the safe side so nothing breaks or leaks with checking it afterwards to make sure it didnt break nor leak, but you just never know. Thanks again.
