WTF? Period 5 days early!

Okay, what the hell is going on? How come I'm on, eh? That seems most unfair. I didn't even get any could-this-be-early-pregnancy-oh-no-it's-pms-again type symptoms as a warning this time.

There I am, just minding my own business, not peeing on sticks a week early or anything, and I find bleeding happening.

I mean, I've been late by a day before, but NEVER early.

What the freaky heck is all that about?

Well... It was so easy to offer my pennys worth to you: openerofjars- but I'm in exactly the same predicament as you now! Exactly five days early: today. Unheard of with me. Started a thread. Then remembered yours! Please keep fx for me that it's implantation bleed! I'm hoping everything happens for us all soon. This ttc is just so draining!

Deal me out, ladies, this month's ship has sailed out on the ERTD.

Arse.

Do not ask how many sticks I have weed on this month. Blush

Good luck, my dears, and I hope to see you on the pregnancy boards soon.

Well, I just did a test as this was the day I should have come on if I hadn't had the early bleeding - BFN Sad
I thought I was probably being a bit optimistic, never mind...

I had a miscarriage in August last year at only 7 wks and since then my periods have been coming early every single month. Last month was 5 days early. I use to be 28 days like clockwork. I never get a chance to use a pregnancy test so at least it's cheap but it's really infruriating! I have resorted to Acupuncture to help.

openerofjars I had the same thing this month, I thought AF had arrived 6 days early - like you, very unexpected and without and of the normal pms things, cramps etc. It lasted about a day and a half and was heavy enough to need to use tampons, but then it just stopped.

I have no idea what to think, but am not building up my hopes (yeah, right, who am I kidding!) - will POAS in the next day or so, AF was supposed to be on Monday so will leave it till then and give it a go. Everyone has said implantation bleeding is more like spotting, but then I have friends who have had heavier bleeds right through their pregnancies with no problems whatsoever - it's all very confusing, isn't it! Confused

Leave it until you were due on and test then, you never know! Wink

you could test Grin just being a little way out there lol

TwoJackRussellsdefrosting · 20/02/2011 07:21

This has been happening to me, but am afraid I think it was because I had a very early miscarriage and that's messed up my cycle Sad

But I have heard to people who have a heavy bleed and then got a positive shortly afterwards.

This trying for a baby thing is terribly cruel, but hope that you get a BFP soon.

Damn, rational people! Grin

That's mostly where I'd got to as well, but you give me hope.

Anyone got the ability to look into the future by 5 days & tell me whether I'm pregnant or not?

Just please don't tell me to wait & POAS. That would be faaaaaaaar too sensible. And no fun.

Thanks for the x fingers. Smile

Ahem. I never get my period early but i did in December. Definitely not an imlantation bleed. Far too heavy. 4 weeks later I got a BFP :) . So I have no idea what it means but I hope you get the result you want soon.

Diamondsamdrubies · 19/02/2011 23:30

Well... As far as I've gathered from this site there could be two reasons: 1) that you ovulated earlier in your cycle; or 2) that you are experiencing implantation bleeding, therefore pregnant. Then there is the possibility that if could be a whole host of things which I have no knowledge of! Let's hope that a) someone more knowledgeable comes along soon and b) keeping my fingers crossed that you get the result you seek:-)x
