Implantation Bleeding

[toomuchtimeonline]

Hi ladies [ducks head in from the TTC boards]..

I was just wondering if any of you had implantation bleeding with your pregnancies and if you did what it was like and for how long?

I guess I'm hoping AF hasn't arrived and it is implantation bleeding.. so any of your stories would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance and hope you are all having wonderful pregnancies!!

it was only a spot of watery blood for me. Hope it's good news for you.

I had a bit of bright red spotting....no more than a teaspoonful then a bit of brown discharge.....it lasted about a day.

I thought it was my period. It was red from the start, more than just a liner could cope with and lasted about 4 days.

Thanks ladies! Always good to get first hand experience.

Wow Mimicakey! That gives me real hope! Mine was about 2 pads and lasted a day and half.. mmm - getting my hopes up now

For me it was a few wipes of light pinkish watery blood and that was all. Fingers crossed for you

I know, it's so weird! I just assumed my body was a bit confused because I hadn't been off the pill that long and that it was my period. I didn't know about implantation bleeds then!

For my first I had implementation bleeding and I just thought it was my period (I even used a tampon!). It was pinkish/brown. After it stopped after 1 day I started to get a bit suspiscous especially since I still had cramps and moodiness. I did a test et voila!

The second time I didn't get any at all. I was about 3 days late for my period, did a test and pregnant again. Then at about week 5ish I did have implentation bleeding and I thought it was the end of the pregnancy. It was only brown though, lasted about 2 days and then I did another test - all fine. I am now 16 weeks pregnant.

Sorry forgot to say I really hope all is well, and if it is implementation bleeding then lots of relaxing and laying down can't do any harm.

Fingers crossed for you

Mine was just a drop of blood, I'm suprised I even found it to be honest.

[Meglet]

mine was just pinkish but it was on and off for a few days.

[toomuchtimeonline]

Thanks everyone for your info! I think mine may have just been a very light AF.. oh well there is always next month!

[Gemy]

It may be best to take a test just to be sure - I was 100% convinced that my first experience of implementation bleeding was AF, but it wasn't!

[toomuchtimeonline]

Gemy - what was your implantation bleeding like? How long after the bleeding did you show up positive? [start getting hopes again]

[toomuchtimeonline]

sorry just scrolled down and re-read - was getting excited there..

mine was just pink streaked cm every time I wiped for 2 days. Happened about 1 week post ov. Got a faint BFP 3 days later and a BFP on clearblue digital 4 days later.

Sorry toomuchtimeonline, have been so busy at work had no time to log on.

Anyway, mine was honastly quite like when your period first arrives (for me, I get more of a pinky-brown period and then the day after I get proper blood) and my implementation bleeding was like day 1 of my period (before the actual blood) It was period-enough like the first time to fool me into thinking it was my period and the second time I got it later, and had already done the test.

I for the BFP result about 3-4 days after it finished. I was still crampy and moody and generally still felt like PMT. So, juat thought I'd do a test!

How are you feeling? done a test? Still feeling PMTish?
