Implantation bleeding??

59 replies

Mrsmorrison13 · 04/01/2014 01:29

Hi all,

Today I'm 5 DPO of TTC#1 cycle 4.

Just been to loo and when I wiped I had about 5 separate pinhead sized red blood flecks there I have felt quite crampy today starting off on left hand size now on the right.

I also have really itchy skin,a headache blocked nose and soreish throat, and really full tender boobs and nipples.

What's the chances of this being implantation bleeding anyone any experience of this type ?

Jx

I hear ya butler! The joys of pre af spotting and how we convince ourselves that it's not af!!!! Arrrggghhh! Why do I do it to myself every month when I know full well it's af!!!! But I soooooo wish it wasn't! I hope yours isn't af and you get your bfp!!!

Butler4 · 08/01/2014 15:38

here's hoping mama that af stays away. Hopefully friday will come really quickly and you will know either way.

I am unsure whats going on with me but I have convinced myself that AF will appear. Had a wee bit pinky/brown cm which has now turned a clear colour but is minimum. Cannot decided if its af or not. Think thats what turns me into a raving lunatic at this time of the month because I am just never sure whether its af or not! eek

mama31 · 08/01/2014 14:47

Thanks mrsmorrison! I'm certain it's af on the way! But if not here by Friday I will prob do a test! But def not before as I know by Friday it should def be full flow! Only on cd25 but my cycles range from 23-27 but only had one that was 27 days, my last one!

Af is enroute, expecting full flow in the morning! Good luck to you ladies hoping for your well deserved bfp's! X

Butler4 · 07/01/2014 20:53

Yes I agree that would be brilliant. I'm sure we are due it by now! I'll check back in on Saturday if not before

Wouldn't it be amazing if we all got bfp's!!!!! Yes I'm a dreamer I know.... :)

Haha loving this thread. Welcome justmarriedbecca. As above regarding the IB. I only found out about it because the last few cycles I have had a brown discharge for 3-6 days before af. Each time i convinced myself I was pg and each time af arrived. Don't worry if you don't get it, it's probably not what I'm getting either! Pfft

This time again it has been different with the tiniest bit of red blood when wiping on two occasions on two seperate nights.

Mama enjoy those chocs, I'm not a big fan of chocs but love a biscuit or crisps. Have had increased appatite today too. Hungry all the time.

No more spotting for me. Tmi alert......dtd with dh before he left and had pink cm after and nothing since. Will await the morning treat.....

Hey mama my hubby's just cracked open one if those thorntons chocolate Santa things - would be rude not too lol nope apart from the spotting if that's what it was at 5 DPO . It was literally like 5 pinheads on the Parker nothing in underwear. I had one day if thick white cm then back to watery again. I've been taking my temp since last week and it's gone down from 37 to 36 I've read online that a temp drop can signify af on way ???? x

You could prob test at the wkend though to see what's happening :) good luck!!

mama31 · 07/01/2014 20:02

Hi becca. Implantation bleeding is not that common but a bit more common than most people think. Supposedly 25-30% of pregnant ladies get it and it is just a very light bleed over a short period of time ie 1-2 days. However some reports show some ladies get a heavier bleed lasting longer, which brings the confusion whether it is af or IB.

I get spotting before af every month so always have the false hope about IB!! And so far it's always turned in to af!!! :(

JustMarriedBecca · 07/01/2014 19:52

Sorry to barge in on the thread but that is really interesting re implantation bleeding. I'm now 7DPO (from my first day of ovulation...it ended up being 48 hours and so I jumped DH both days!) and have felt sick late afternoon and early evening for the last two days, plus have had constant cramps for about 48 hours. Last night I had really bad shooting pains on my left side.

I've been checking for implantation bleeding for the last 24 or so hours (why didn't I think of white pants?) but nothing obvious. Does implantation bleeding happen each time or is that just one symptom you MAY have or does lack of it mean I'm not pregnant? Second question...how much should I be expecting?

It's probably first time naivety but I really think it might happen this month. My body feels different the last two days. I have no other flu symptoms so I don't think it's that. Probably all in my head. Boo Hiss. Not going to cave and do test until Sunday. Worried that FR will give false positive and AF not due until 15th.

mama31 · 07/01/2014 19:52

I know, I do tend to hang on to all the stories like that! Just to keep some hope!!! But I'm stuffing my face with chocs so certain af is on its way :(

I know it's nice to know there are others in the same position. My sister is pregnant just now and she said she thought she was going to get a really bad af before she was late - I holding out hope from that x

Hang in there ladies! We will know one way or the other by the weekend! Keep busy!!! That's what I'm trying to do but my mind has other ideas :/

Butler4 · 07/01/2014 17:30

Ah welcome to the low will power club for poas! Haha! I don't know why I done it, I will defo wait until the weekend now. My body will prob play tricks on me until then!

Ha what we like I'm glad it's not just me , I was walking into the bathroom telling myself don't be stupid don't test it's too early - next thing I know I'm poas lol !

It's so hard , I'm 8 DPO today and really feel like af is coming due on Friday x

OP posts:
Butler4 · 07/01/2014 16:47

Yeah fingers crossed for BFP soon for us both.

It does get harder every time. Last month I was like a lunatic after 6 days of spotting I was sure I was pg.This month was my first relaxed month whilst dtd as we had already put in place appts for tests and really thought it was the one after weird feelings. It's just the 2ww that drives me insane and turns me into a lunatic. Lol. And breathe.

mama31 · 07/01/2014 16:37

Awh it's so hard isn't it!!! I am on cycle 7 heading for cycle 8! It's Definately getting harder each month :( DH said he would make an app for sperm test soon so hopefully this month if we don't get our bfp!

I also have slightly brown cm, scant though, but this would also be usual pre af stuff :( hoping we are wrong and get a surprise bfp!!!!!

Butler4 · 07/01/2014 16:29

Thanks mama, it's been over a year now. Had blood taken on Monday to test progesterone and cup arrived today for sperm test. Shame husband just left for work for 2 weeks. Hoping I don't need it but trying to be realistic! I think I have my brown discharge type stuff that I have been getting on run up to af so think I might be out. Who knows, have felt weird this time round. Think that's what makes it so hard.

Hope you get a BFP soon
