Implantation bleeding

Hi all. My husband and I are TTC our first after a mmc in April. My periods are regular again and according to my app I ovulated on Friday(19th). We dtd twice in that week and again on Sunday. I just went to the loo and noticed some pink spotting when I wiped. Do you think this could be implantation bleeding? It seems a bit early for that to me. AF due next Friday. Thanks in advance!

I’m having more spotting this evening, which is exactly the same time it happened last night! So strange!
I really hope this isn’t AF x

Loppylou37 · 24/10/2018 17:35

I say deffo test in morning cause I feel like there's a shadow of a line, might be the picture.
I got four tests from wilkos for 2 quid on my lunch break today, 20 mui apparently!
I've been having twinges too, definitely not period cramps, more just niggling annoying sharp but painless feelings..?
We can't help ourselves!!

OceanPearl · 24/10/2018 16:17

the test I used to was a super cheap on I got on my lunch break from the co op!
I think I’m going to buy some better one to make sure if the next cheapie one comes back BFN! I’m doing exactly what I told myself I wouldn’t do and test pointless amount of times!
I feel like I’m having symptoms but that could just be all in my head! I keep feeling twinges on one side. Apart from that I’m not expericing any of the full blown pregnancy symptoms I had with my daughter x

Loppylou37 · 24/10/2018 15:11

Deffo different brands have different sensitivity, different for everyone I spose, I just spoke to a colleague who is 5 months and had all the symptoms I've been having, she was two weeks late for af and got a negative at hospital and a week later a positive! I've tried pound land ones that are rubbish and ones that are decent and clear x

Luxembourgmama · 24/10/2018 14:41

I tested yesterday with a cheap test and it was negative. Maybe they are less sensitive?

Loppylou37 · 24/10/2018 13:53

You sure about that...? I'd test again with fmu by looks of it!
I tested the day after my IB and was pure white lol, bbbbbbfn. But saying that I'm not due till tomorrow so I just need to control myself! Been having the most crazy vivid dreams the last 4 nights, Tmi but quite snotty too, not head cold just snotty and bloody boogers!? Very strange.
There's all the hope you could have until AF arrives!! Think positive x

OceanPearl · 24/10/2018 13:22

I caved in and did test! BFN!
Going to test again in a couple of days if AF doesn’t arrive. If I did have IB it was only yesterday afternoon and from what I’ve read you should wait 3 days minimum to test after IB. Plus I didn’t do the test first thing in the morning! Hoping there is still hope! xx

Get your feet up and breathe, I hope so much this is it for you! When we suspected I had a chemical in spring, I took my partner to asda to get a test and he was so shocked at how expensive they were, I had to convince him I'd only been using the cheapies from wilkos and not spending a fortune on the expensive ones! I'm getting cheapies today and if I get any hint of a line tomorrow I'll be charging to asda for a clearblue haul 😂

Luxembourgmama · 24/10/2018 12:59

@Loppylou37 it was the expensive Clearblue cost a fortune but I guess worth it. Will buy another few tests tonight and keep resting. Can't believe it

Loppylou37 · 24/10/2018 12:23

It's so hard to commit to that happiness after loss. My worst fear is can my body even carry full term!? Which medical speaking is completely irrational, every pregnancy is completely different and having a miscarriage doesn't mean you will again. But having gone through it, it is completely rational to think that way!
My other halfs cousin had a mc in January, and she's about to give birth in the next couple weeks!

Will you be testing again to see line darkening or going docs?

When do you think you will test ocean? I'm now 14dpo but definitely not going to test today. I always come on on a Thursday, but I'm also scared of a bfn tomorrow!

Luxembourgmama · 24/10/2018 11:36

I was the same yesterday. Even today I'm convinced it's just a chemical pregnancy.

OceanPearl · 24/10/2018 11:10

Haha 100% trying to think of every little thing to google about IB! Just too scared to take a test and see BFN x

Loppylou37 · 24/10/2018 10:35

Glad I'm not the only one! 😂 running off to wipe just in case af has come but absolutely no sign yet. Testing tomorrow morning, I come on on a Thursday 😂 if I don't and bfn then will test Friday morning.
Crazy how much of a rollercoaster it is! I'm expecting Google to tell me 'you already know it could be implantation bleeding go away 😂

OceanPearl · 24/10/2018 10:15

Fingers crossed! I keep going to the loo to check but nothing, it’s so hard not to get your hopes up! I had a false positive last month that turned out to be an evap line. With my first we weren’t actively trying so I didn’t expect it to be so stressful or for me to get so emotional!

Did you use the clear blue ovulation tests Lux? Thinking about using them next month if I need too x

Loppylou37 · 24/10/2018 09:47

Sounds promising oceanpearl!! It is very weird to spot when you don't normally, mine was the thinnest streak, I took a picture and keep checking to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Not a speck since so hoping that it has to be my bfp on its way! Good luck x

Loppylou37 · 24/10/2018 09:43

Omg congratulations!!! Stay positive, I have this dooming feeling that reminds me to not get excited when I think about it after horrific MC in 2014, but positivity and optimism, this is a different baby and you'll be fine! Wishing you all the best lovely.

What clear blue was it? I'm getting cheapies today cause I'm convincing myself that I can't be so I'm not too disappointed. I keep checking my timings but I ovulated around the same time as you and had spotting on the same day and I'm due my period tomorrow.. so I have every toe and finger crossed right now! Anything is possible I guess.
No other symptoms except the heart burn and peeing yesterday, boobs are fine which was my first sign a few years back.
Edinbeezer that's such a shame, why do our bodies do this!?

OceanPearl · 24/10/2018 09:35

I’ve woken up with no more bleeding! Really unusual for me to have spotting. Fingers crossed for a BFP! I’m still going to hold off testing until The day AF should arrive x

Luxembourgmama · 24/10/2018 08:56

I had similar last month @edinbeezer I was disappointed. I have to say I'm impressed with Clearblue it was the first month using it

edinbeezer · 24/10/2018 08:06

Congratulations Lux!

My bleeding is still here and is heavier so think it's just AF, 10 days early! Angry

Luxembourgmama · 24/10/2018 07:40

Absolutely nothing but it was the same on my first pregnancy with my daughter also. No symptoms at all until nausea around week 7.

OceanPearl · 24/10/2018 07:34

Wow congratulations lux!!!
Have you had any other symptoms apart from spotting? x

Luxembourgmama · 24/10/2018 07:28

Tested positive with Clearblue this morning! I had a MMC in July though so I feel I can't get excited this time until I have the all clear.

Loppylou37 · 23/10/2018 21:54

Let us know lux! I guess some people get a bfp at 9dpo-14dpo, and some people don't until a week after missed AF! I wasn't even symptom spotting or thinking pregnancy before this spotting, it was so slight and pink and done in a few hours! But there's no ignoring how much I used the toilet all day, haven't upped my fluid intake so no obvious reason. And no ignoring this tight heartburn reflux that's been here this afternoon with all these weird hiccups

Luxembourgmama · 23/10/2018 21:48

I was the same doing loads of tests last month despite getting negatives. My period is due tomorrow so if it doesn't come I'll test.

Loppylou37 · 23/10/2018 21:20

Well I'm either facing AF in the next three days or not, so I'm sort of on a wait and see moment in the last few days of holding my breath. Today I've peed about 20 odd times today, whether that's because I keep thinking I want to check for AF or something else, time will tell! As were all in the same weird is it IB boat I'll update when I know!
Any one else getting any other symptoms at all?x
