Bleeding a week before period is due?

[LauraAW93]

Hi everyone 😊

Me and my partner have been trying for a baby for the past 7 months since I came off of the cerelle pill. My period is due in 7 days and usually I get bad cramps before and I definitely know when it's on it's way. I have had a regular period the whole time I've been off of the pill and it comes every 28-30 days.

But! Last night I kept waking up with a nauseous feeling, and when I woke I was getting light stabbing just below my belly button. Then I went to the toilet and when I wiped there was blood but it was kind of watery and red. Not sure what this means.

I have also had sore breasts but not sure if this is just because of the ovulation/period or because I'm actually pregnant but they were more sore than usual (to the point I couldn't even lie on my tummy). It's all so confusing.

Me and my partner had sex at least once a day all the way through my ovulation if that helps.

If anyone has had anything similar or know what's going on please let me know! Thanks 😊

Could it be implantation bleeding? It happens in quite a lot of women, about 10 days after conception when the egg starts to embed in your uterus.

That's the hope! I'm thinking it is but I think it's because I want it to be if that makes sense? I've never really understood the difference between implantation bleeding and periods because my periods are fairly light and only last 3-4 days but I always know when it's a period because of the painful cramps which usually only last the first day of my period but this time there's none of that. I have everything crossed!
