Implantation bleeding

@cupcakesandglitter - two more 'negative' tests today, i put that in inverted commas only because I'm sure I saw the faintest of lines on the second one. All bleeding and cramping has stopped now although I do get the odd belly pain. I can't be sure but think boobs are less full and painful. So who knows ...

What are u going to do?

@CraazyCatLady @OhFFSMum how are you getting on? I'm still spotting :(

@OhFFSMum definitely 😩 I tested yesterday (not fmu) and it was negative. I've read that it can take around four days for hormones to kick in after IB, so i might try in a few days. Boobs were soooo sore last night which is unlike me, but they're back to normal this morning 😩

I'm not sure how to go this month - I'm kind of wondering whether we should just DTD whenever and not put pressure on ourselves, and see if my cycle is normal this month? How do you feel about it? X

@cupcakesandglitter same here our first month trying and I also came on early... Due today and seems to have finished again!? Two tests this morning both negative. So who knows what is going on .. are u going to test again or just see what happens? Strange about the cramps and short period tho!?

@OhFFSMum oh definitely, it's worth the money - I don't feel like I'm pissing my money away pardon the pun

This is our first month actively TTC - I was due on around Friday this week, so I 'started' a week early. The cramps I had were out of this world, and it only lasted three days!

@cupcakesandglitter - when were you due on? Are u actively TTC?

@cupcakesandglitter - i popped to PL and bought some today (loads for less than a tenner! Fab). But straight after that I seemed to come on properly . Although - like you, it still doesn't feel right? The bleeding seems to have slowed down again now, and I just 'feel' pregnant - I can't explain why tho. Boobs are massive and I'm pretty certain I have a heightened sense of smell. I did take a PL test this afternoon and seemed to be a clear negative :(. I'll try again in the morning and I suppose just see if I actually come on or not (due wed I think). Just weird but I feel like I'm going mad at the moment

@OhFFSMum I use the Poundland ones - I tested today and it was very clearly a negative 😂 but I've heard good things about them! Maybe test tonight or in a couple of days?

My 'AF' has now finished, making it a grand total of three days of heavy, painful bleeding. But still doesn't feel like it was AF, and my boobs are still super sore!

So - couldn't bear to wait any more and took another test this morning. At first look appeared negative again, however a VERY faint line does seem to have developed over the last hour. But it's a REAL squinter - so much so I'm not even gonna bother showing my hubby because he'll say I'm imagining it. Bleeding has all but stopped now - started Friday and never progressed past a bit of brown when wiping (sorry if TMI) - never needed a pad or anything. I usually have very heavy periods but not actually due until tomorrow or Wed i think. So - basically still none the wiser what is going on. Suppose I'll just wait to see if I come on properly or not, and maybe buy some cheap tests from Poundland so I don't bankrupt myself when I can't resist testing again before I should! Driving myself mad here...

Oh okay @Earslaps - I had a small brown spot on my panty liner in the evening, and when I wiped there was blood. The next day 'AF' kicked in, and it was possibly one of the worst pains I have ever felt. I was actually going to go to the hospital! (Napped it off instead)

It's not been as heavy as AF, and judging from today I'll be off tomorrow - completely abnormal for me, usually it's 5 days not 3!

I don't know what's going on 😩

@cupcakesandglitter it was just a bit of light spotting really but very painful cramps beforehand.

I've just had this too, slight brown cm last night and this am but not due at till next weekend. I did test at lunchtime today and was negative, maybe I will wait a few more days and do it first thing!? Never had this with my first two.

@MrsGsnow18 I'm sure I've read that hormones should rise around three days after implantation bleeding, so maybe test again in a couple of days

@OhFFSMum if you put an '@' before the name it will tag :)

@Earslaps was it like a normal period for you? I've had the worst cramps I've ever had and I've been 'on' for two days now, but it's lighter than AF (I'm usually super heavy) and it's come a week early too

my cycle isn't that regular but actually this was two days past my average cycle length, so def wasn't testing early.
I have no idea though if it was implantation bleeding how soon HCG levels would even be high enough?
I'm just assuming my body is messing with me and maybe it's stress related 🙈

The other 4 failed IVF transfers I didn't have this.

I've had it both times I was successfully pregnant (1 ended in mc). IVF babies so not sure if that's got something to do with it.

@mrsgsnow18 - when are you due on? Are u testing early? It's a head f@ck all this isn't it!

I honestly can't remember if I had it or not last time. Weirdly though I've just had an extremely light period which only lasted a day. Got a negative on an internet cheapie though 🙁

I have no idea how to tag a user on here - obviously lol

#crazycatlady - did u test? Were u pregnant? In a similar situation at the moment and driving myself crazy lol

Yes, I had nasty cramps and bleeding both pregnancies. Both times I assumed it meant my period was coming and it wasn't going to happen this month so I had a couple of glasses of wine. You'd think I'd have learnt after the first time!

I have always had hugely irregular periods so I had no idea when periods or ovulation were due.

Yes with every pregnancy.

Hey I'm sorry to jump on, but I'm interested in this too.

I'm CD23 today, I think I ovulated on CD14 going off EWCM but I'm not sure.

Today I went to the loo and checked my liner (I've been having a lot of CM recently) and there was some brown dried blood. I hadn't been to the loo for hours so unsure when it happened. Anyway, when I wiped I had bright red blood, and as I got up I had immense pain, and severe cramping.

I've checked and the bleeding has stopped, and cramping has gone down. AF isn't due until at least a week... is this early AF or could it be implantation bleeding? I'm trying not to get my hopes up, the cramping felt like a miscarriage 😩
