Spotty McSpotterson CD 7

There's a weird phenomenon when you're TTC where you pay so much attention to your body that you think everything is related to TTC.
Got cramps? It's ovulation, implantation or you're PREGNANT.
EWCM? It's fertile window, perfect CM, CM during the 2WW or you're PREGNANT.
Sore throat? It's the flu, a cold or you're PREGNANT.
Spotting? Your period is coming. Implantation bleeding. Or you're PREGNANT.

Basically, the whole process is a giant mind rape. The first month or two you think every. single. twinge. is a pregnancy symptom. Then you calm down, relax a bit and stop letting the 2WW screw you mentally.

Now that I am here in month 11, I am back to judging my body as it relates to TTC. Ooooh, was that a stomach pain? Did my uterine lining just get thicker? Or do I need to take a poo? Ahhhh, the insanity of it all.

Anywho, I am spotting. I have no idea why. None of my other cycles have had spotting last this long. If I count the three days before AF came last, I have been spotting for 7 days now before and after AF. It's not a big deal, but it's one of those things that I am now aware of and my mind is hopped up on meth and is screaming, "Is it a sign of Endo?" "Is it ever going to stop?" Is it cancer?" "Is it just me making it seem like it is worse than it really is?" Yes -- to the last question.

It's night shift time again for 4 nights, so posts might be sporadic. Kinda like my spotting.
