So – after doing a bit more research I am crossing my fingers that the ovulation-esque discharge I had earlier in the week was actually due to the cervical plug forming or other random discharge.

Of course I woke up last night at about 2 am with cramps – so my first thought was, crap my period is coming, but then I remembered that cramps could be due to the uterus shifting and also, they didn’t feel exactly like period cramps and also went away a lot easier. However I couldn’t get to sleep after that and was awake for at least 2 hours. Still – if it was a menstrual cramp I should get my period in a few days (or not – sigh). I’ve decided to test on either Monday or Tuesday (depending on what my body’s doing). I could test now but if it’s too early I’ll get a negative result and I’d rather be sure my negative is really a negative.

I guess I’m concerned that I’m just reading too much into my body and if I give myself the excuse that I tested too early then I’m just going to prolong the agony.

Maybe I’ve just had a virus and now I’m getting my period? Or maybe I’ve just had a virus, then ovulated and my period won’t show for another week and a bit.

PS: I am sure the aeola circle around the nipples look bigger – on one breast more than the other too…hmm…lopsided.
