Implantation bleeding? So confused

Hi all I’m pretty sure that it’s practically impossible but just wanted some clarification I got my period the 20-24 of December and slept with my partner on the 26th I have a 32 day cycle but on the 6th to the 8th I had some brown discharge when I wiped. Practically impossible for me to be pregnant right?

So I’m supposed to start my period Nov 22. But I started spotting Nov 17 morning twice then it stopped also was cramping. & today Nov 19 afternoon towards midnight I started spotting again. ( I took a plan B on my sec to last day on ovulation which was Nov 10. ) mind you I didn’t know I was on ovulation till I checked my app. Opinions??

Hi Jude ,

hope you’re well , I came here looking for a bit of hope as I am too ttc and have been spotting for 4 days , how are you getting on? I’m sorry it wasn’t pregnancy that time , if you need a chat I’m around!

Hey looking for a bit of help regards to implantation bleeding. My ovulation 2nd of February and during the whole period after that my cervical mucus been very wet. On 7dpo it got very stretchy snot like (gross) and then on 8dpo had a small speck of pink when I wiped after toilet. On 9dpo about midday when using the toilet it was long and stretchy dripping out of me ( gross again) but midnight before bed got another speck of blood on tissue. Yesterday and today got tiny specks of blood throughout the day when I use the toilet. Since 8 dpo been also having mild cramps. My app says AF is due in 2 days yet other online calculators say tomorrow. Any advice hugely appreciated. Is it periods coming or implantation bleeding. I have 2 children and with them both my only symptom of pregnancy was no periods.

@judelaw sorry to read that update but sending good wishes for future cycles

hi!
i know i’m. bit late to the thread but i was hoping to pick your brain a little bit-
what you described is exactly what i’m experiencing right now.
min 9dpo i started getting brown/pink mucusy type stuff after i wipe and it’s lasted three days now but today it has turned a more bright red. it’s still not significant enough to wear a pad it’s more so that it’s just there if i wipe and it’s only a tiny amount.
when you said you knew what it was when it turned bright red, what did you mean by that?

@judelaw let us know how you get on.

My spotting was 5 and 4 days before I got a positive pregnancy test with baby 2. Hoping it goes well for you.

I’ve been pregnant four times (three early miscarriages and finally one gorgeous baby DS) and I had implantation bleeding in three of the four pregnancies.

Each time it was heavy enough to trick me into thinking it was the start of my period (I think I had it from around 10/11dpo) and a dingy red-brown colour, lasting 3-4 days. It's only when it didn't get heavier and turn bright red that I knew what it was.

You'll have to wait and test in a day or two, I think. Wishing you luck!

And FWIW my cycle went screwy after my last pregnancy, anywhere from 34 to 38 days so I had no idea where I was, but I definitely knew I was pregnant when I had the spotting, think I tested positive about two weeks before that.

I was the same, and I had resigned myself that it wasn't sticking around but the arse currently stuck in my ribcage and fist punching away at my pelvic floor says otherwise. It ain't over till it's over OP. Best to be matter of fact about it though, take each wipe as it comes and you can only deal with the situation at hand. I can appreciate though after what you've been through it is difficult.

@judelaw

Ok, so positive on 22/23 then ovulation is likely to happen 24-36 hrs later, so say the 24th, then 1dpo would be the 25th at earliest, so would make you around 5dpo today at most which would make period being due on the 8th make more sense.

Oh I’m so sorry you’ve had such a rough time if it so far, but brilliant news your surgery has gone well!

I remember being exactly the same each time I was ttc, I could never just ‘go with the flow and wait and see’ I was obsessed about every tiny thing that I felt or happened, even now when I get cramps before my period I have to remind myself that it’s fine because I’m not ttc and my youngest is 5! Was so used to over analysing everything for such a long time (7 pregnancies resulting in 4 children in a 6.5 year period of time) I forget what it’s like to not be ttc!

Good luck xx

@judelaw

did you do ovulation tests? Or track temp, symptoms etc and input them? If not I think it looks like the app has just decided that ovulation was two weeks after your period started, which for someone with a long cycle won’t generally be correct. Of course the app may be wrong with your predicted period due date and then being 8dpo and spotting could easily be implantation spotting or breakthrough bleeding, I’ve had it with 3 pregnancies, one I had a day of full on bleeding at 8dpo that suddenly stopped the following day, tested the next at 10dpo and positive! Our bodies can do weird and wonderful things!

Have you been tracking ovulation? Just that with a 34 day cycle you’re unlikely to be 8dpo with another 11 days until your period is due, that would make your luteal phase 19 days which is unusual, average is 12-14 days. A longer cycle generally means you ovulate later.

I would hazard a guess that the cramps you have been having over the last few days could be ovulation cramps as that would fit in with your period being due in 11 days.

Good luck with ttc x

Managed to find what I did for short luteal phase (sometimes only made it to 8dpo). I regularly took vit c and b6 in higher doses than just multivits, and I used soy isoflavanones (same regime as clomid). I have PCOS and had been ttc for years, had done several rounds of clomid in the past. A couple years later, much slimmer and healthier, ovaries were clear of pcos effects but took soy to boost O and hopefully increase luteal phase, worked for both (O pains were 😳 more than my normal). TMI but also used a cup to hold everything in for a couple hours after 😂 , ttc friendly lube, clear blue O tests (I seem to get o pain day of, so a day or more notice always appreciated). I didn't temp, as I found my fitbit resting heart rate matched perfectly. If plotted it looked just like a classic temp cycle so was a dead giveaway o had happened and when.

Good luck! And don't forget, if this isn't your month don't worry about changes from your norm - surgery and/or invasive tests can affect things for a cycle or two!
