Here's the latest. Please tell me what you think!
I am on CD 30 today. I am due to start AF either today or tomorrow. For the past 2 weeks I have been experiencing unusual cramping and bloating. I normally only experience these the day my AF starts. I've also had sensitive nipples and shooting pains in my breasts. I possibly had IB a few days after I O'ed because I had the tiniest amount of pink blood in my CM when I wiped.
Now, here's the confusing part. I always hear women talk about how much CM they have when they get their BFP. They typically describe it as white and creamy. I am so dry!!! Can a woman still be dry and get a BFP? Or do you think the dryness is a sign that AF is coming soon?
Unfortunately, I haven't been checking my CM or temps, so I don't know what is "normal" around AF time. I also don't even know if CM is a good indicator of pregnancy or not. Thank you for any comments you might have! I'll keep everyone posted.

Some women do experience creamy CM, but some do not. It is not necessarily a good indicator.
Hopefully this is it for you. Best wishes!

No, I haven't tested yet...but still no AF either. Last night I had some crampy feelings (not painful though) laying in bed...I was for sure I'd wake up with the witch this morning. Nope. Not here....yet. I'm afraid to test yet because I've seen too many BFN's. I feel like I could start any minute, but nothing is there. The cramping I've had over the last week is a little weird because I only get cramping the day AF arrives. That's why I feel like she should have shown by now. I'm not going to test until tomorrow. Then I will be officially late. Last month I did have a 31 day cycle...and I'm at 31 days today. Keep your fingers crossed. The only difference is that last month I started brown spotting the evening of CD 30. I didn't have any spotting yesterday. I'll keep you posted!

Good luck to you!!! I know what you mean about not wanting to test for fear of another BFN - they are the worst! :mad:
Please let us know how it turns out. My fingers are crossed for you :D
