Implantation bleeding??

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

Sorry to hear that butler :( I'm trying not to test again as well, need to just try and wait it out til the wkend! Easier said than done! But with this spotting I should be expecting af any time soon, so no point wasting money on tests....sounds good in theory but I am so impulsive and could have a test bought and be poas in no time at all before my logic has settled in!!!! :/

Hoping 10dpo is just too early to tell, good luck! Hoping to hear good news from you by the wkend! What cycle are you on? I've heard good things re acupuncture! I'd be afraid of it though! Hate needles!

I caved and tested just now bfn at 10 dpo! I promised myself I wouldn't do it. Ach well now I'll wait until Friday/Saturday before testing again. Going to give acupuncture a go if af arrives on Sunday/Monday.

Thanks! This is our 7th cycle! So getting rather impatient!! I think I'm about 10dpo today, bfn's for the last lots of days!!! And a little more brown spotting today, nothing major just a little. Sides of boobs are tender but usually do get very sore pre af! just waiting on full flow to be honest.....but there's always that tiny bit of hope for a bfp!!!! I just want it soooooo bad! I'm sure you both do too!!!

Hi Ladies, I am in the same boat. I had a pin head of blood in the evening of 7dpo and then 8dpo and then some cream CM in between but not much. I am 10dpo today and I am not sure whats happening. Previous cycle I had brown discharge for 6 days prior to AF so trying not to get too excited. I also got a cold sore on 7dpo and then another one on the other side of my mouth on 8dpo!

Have had headaches and a full feeling in my lower abdomen, which feels funny sometimes. Its so strange. I just want to know whats going on. 7dpo is obviously about the time for IB but I am trying not to get my hopes up! Why does our body feel the need to do this eh?! I am holding out to test until the weekend but it is not easy let me tell you...........

Hi I also had 2 days of spotting (brown very light bleeding) on 2nd-3rd Jan and have had nothing since. The first day was very scant spotting and the 2nd day was even less, more like watery brown cm and only at cervix when I checked (sorry tmi!)

I do usually have 4 days of spotting before af arrives, but I've had nothing since 3rd jan at all which is very strange for me! But I am certain it is just my body playing cruel tricks on me and af will most likely arrive again!!! In the next couple of days!

Unfortunately though I can't help but build my hopes up until af arrives full flow :/ silly me!!! And I know 5dpo is way early for implantation bleeding so it's highly unlikely!

Good luck! I will check in to see the outcome of yours and will let you know mine :)

I had the EXACT same thing this month and posted on here about it. May have been low progesterone or IB, even though 5dpo is a bit early for IB. Turned out I did get a BFP! on New Year's Day so fingers crossed for you! :)
