Should I wait until day 10 to do ghusl after my period? (Hanafi fiqh)

Assalamu alaykum, sisters. I need your advice please. Correct me if I’m wrong-I don’t have much knowledge on this, but it’s been stressing me out for days. I’m not bleeding anymore, but I keep worrying about the white discharge. I’ve seen it several times, but then I look closely and start doubting if there’s blood or yellowish color in it. Today before ghusl, I checked and it was white, but then I worried that maybe the discharge was from something else. My waswasa has gotten really bad. I follow the Hanafi madhab, and I know the maximum days for hayd is 10, after which I must pray. That’s fine, but I’m on day 9, and I felt so uneasy not praying. I literally didn’t know if I was pure or not, even though I saw the white discharge, I kept doubting. I went ahead and did ghusl and prayed, but now I’m confused-should I do ghusl again on day 10, or only after day 10 passes? I don’t know why I’m making this so complicated. I keep feeling like I should do ghusl tomorrow, so I don’t even know if today’s prayer was valid. Also, I wear jewelry all the time, but I only take it off for the ghusl after my period. For other ghusls, like after a bad dream, I leave it on. I don’t know if there’s any logic or if it’s waswasa, and I want to stop doing that too, because taking it off and cleaning it every time is so annoying. It’s hard to think or relax with so many people around the house-Alhamdulillah it’s a blessing, but sometimes it gets tiring. Any advice, especially from sisters who follow the Hanafi madhab, would really help. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

You don't need another ghusl on day 10 unless bleeding returns. Don't overcomplicate it, sister.

Ugh, I so feel you on the jewelry thing! For non-ritual ghusl, you can keep it on, no need to stress.

Waswasa is so real, may Allah ease it. You did ghusl after seeing white discharge, so your prayer is valid inshaAllah.

In Hanafi fiqh, once you see white discharge even on day 9, your hayd ends. You don't need to wait till day 10.

Same here with the discharge doubts! My tip: check once with a tissue in good light, then ignore the whispers.

Sister, if you saw clear white discharge, you're pure. Don't let waswasa ruin your peace. You did right by praying.
