Me and my partner have been NTNP since I came off the implant in late december. First AF came on 15th Jan, and I thought OH would want to start using protection then but was pleasantly surprised to find that he didn't push the matter. A positive OPK on CD15 confirmed that I ovulated, and since we BD-ed at least once a day for a week leading up to that and for three days after, I thought there was a genuinely good chance of pregnancy.
Two days ago (CD21) I started having a few pinching twinges which continued into CD22, and along with sore nipples, I assumed these might be implanting cramps. But when I woke up this morning (CD23) I was gutted to find that my AF has arrived!! Before the implant I was regularly 26-28 days every month, and I know my body is still recovering from the implant but I ovulated, so I was expecting a 29 day cycle.
I know these things happen, and I shouldn't be too disappointed but I didn't realise how much I wanted to not see AF and get a bfp! And I was so convinced I was implanting, and feel like maybe I was and I did something to disrupt it - like yesterday I drank a lot of coke which I know has caffiene, and me and OH had rather a rough ten minutes of bedroom fun last night (which is when the cramping got worse and I guess then I started). And I know implantation bleeding is a thing, but this isn't spotting, this is fresh red blood, liquidy, and I must have filled one pad already, so I don't think it's that :(
Just wanted to share this somewhere in case anyone has any wise words, because I'm so gutted, I cried when I saw the blood. I'm confused by the earliness too. Anyone??
