Was this an implantation spot?

I made a thread the other day and didn’t really get much response so I thought I’d try again!

I’m 8dpo and since about 3dpo I’ve had really dull lower back ache, mild and I mean very mild cramping.
My boobs are a little sore but it’s not really noticeable and nowhere near as sore as last month, I’ve been peeing constantly and it felt like a UTI especially with the pressure on my bladder (if you’ve had a uti you know what I mean)
At 6dpo I went toilet and wiped and it was literally a tiny dot of blood (it was the amount as if you’d bled from a spot type thing) I had mild cramping again that day and still lower back ache.
Yesterday at 7dpo I was peeing a lot and went to GP and uti test came back clear so it wasn’t an infection.

Today at 8dpo I’ve nothing at all no cramps no back ache as such, my boobs feel slightly more sore but still hardly noticeable.

Could it have been implantation spotting or am I just trying to convince myself it was? The bleed was red but I’ve seen that IB can also be red and not just the standard brown or pink. I really hate the TWW 😭😭

@sunflower I’ve got a lot of white discharge too, mines usually a sign AF is on the way.

Do you have any other symptoms? When is AF due!

Hey girls,

Went to the toilet and tmi but had thick white cm a lot of it?

@MummaL32
No af which is a good sign! Sometimes people don’t get BFP till a week late! If it’s not your month then it sucks but it will happen when it’s meant too xx

@AllHopeAndNoResults how are you getting on?

@MummaL32 I know it’s hard but if I was you I wouldn’t put yourself through the torture of testing again. I hope for you that you find out either way soon! Our bodies can be so cruel sometimes

@MummaL32 good on you! The worst thing is ttc but it feels unnatural so hats off to you both.

Has AF still not arrived? This happened to me last month and I had a 41 day cycle it was so annoying my body was playing games. If you do need to book an appointment let me know how it goes x

@MummaL32 blimey everyday! How do you cope 😂😂 I follow SMEP so it’s similar but every other day instead and then 3 days in a row at peak ovulation and a day off then one for luck.

OP posts:
MummaL32 · 17/08/2019 19:52

We have sex every day we missed one day this whole month I have the app Flo and track my periods have done for a year before we started trying not been on conception for 6 years and we was using comdoms till a few months ago so not really a plan we are having sex constantly because we want to not to try Altho if it happens that's a brilliant bonus

@MummaL32 we all go through it, it’s such a horrible time just waiting and not knowing and especially when AF is late. It’s like a cruel trick our body plays. If she does come then just try and stay positive and see it as you can get going again soon.
Do you follow a plan? Or do you just dtd around ovulation?

OP posts:
MummaL32 · 17/08/2019 19:25

Your prob right as two negative clear blues today yet still no period boobs are no as sensitive as they was this morning see what tomorrow brings I need to change the record I think as I'm driving myself insane

AllHopeAndNoResults · 17/08/2019 12:53

@MummaL32 some people don’t get a positive until a week after AF is due, however I would maybe put this one down to AF arriving late but I hope that isn’t the case

MummaL32 · 17/08/2019 11:33

Good luck @MummaL32

MummaL32 · 17/08/2019 09:36

@MummaL32 I’m really rubbish at stuff like this, I can never see anything! But I agree they could be faulty tests? Maybe get some cheapos and see what happens.

Preseed is a sperm friendly lube, you insert it into the vagina about 15mins before dtd and it swooshes the swimmers where they are supposed to be. Have a look on google and even some past mumsnet threads. There has been a lot of success with it. I’m going for it again this month as I think every little helps and i can’t imagine doing it without it now. Also it helps if you are regularly dtd to keep you from being sore

OP posts:
Sunflower2019 · 16/08/2019 15:48

@MummaL32

That’s odd.. maybe dodgy tests!

I’ve still had sore boobs and a back ache that won’t go :(

Not sure what to think!

MummaL32 · 16/08/2019 15:11

Also I used preseed this month. Really liked it. Worth giving it a go. I did get thrush BUT I can’t say for sure it was preseed or the fact we dtd so much

OP posts:
MummaL32 · 15/08/2019 14:53

Agreed I feel the same as you fingers crossed for next month xx

You’re not too old at all so take that info out of your mind!

I also woke up with a spot so pretty sure AF is around the corner. I went out last night for a meal and had one and a half strawberry daiquiris and I came home feeling so sick with a massive headache. I was dizzy. Felt like I had a hangover and I was in bed by half ten!! Woke up did a test bfn so I’m really not holding out this month. But at least I know that every month I get PG symptoms so next cycle I won’t symptom spot.

MummaL32 · 15/08/2019 10:06

I don't understand why I've got this horrible taste in my mouth if nothing is happening I didn't think a period could do that my other tell was dark nipples which are darker then normal this month so many things I didn't think could be assumed with a period. I also had a LLTS lazier treatment done 4 years ago I've read that it can lower your chances of con and I had to have 45% of my cervix removed they did tell me if I was to have another baby I would maybe need a stitch put in to ensure I didn't go into labour too early

MummaL32 · 15/08/2019 10:03

I'm 32 also 33 end of the year / my partner is 39 almost 40 tho and he really struggled with his other two when planned to have took them two years to con and that was 6-7 years ago so I don't feel hopeful at all anymore

Took two tests this morning both negative

I haven't what is preseed?

Sunflower2019 · 15/08/2019 09:44

@MummaL32

How old are you? I’m the other way round and my partner younger than me, I’m 32, not sure if that’s an issue?! I do think it may take me longer but this month I do feel different to others... who knows! I just have the attitude now that what will be will be! My mum was 37 when she had my sister after being told she was infertile... had been trying for years.. gave up and it happened!

Good luck for you x

Ps have you tried preseed?

MummaL32 · 15/08/2019 09:08

I tested again this morning only the cheap strip ones as I now refuse to buy anymore had a similar one I brought a pack on amazon of 5x strips yet they sent me 20x

Test this morning was still negative and woken up with the brewing spots so I am highly likely to come on tomorrow as predicted -

Was reading last night about how much it decreases as you get older and my partner is older then me and has said he doesn't want to be much older to have another Altho he's not out pressure on it hearing how he feels about it honestly I just think it's prob not going to happen for us, we do both have children with other people so we are not missing out like that it's just hard when you both want something special and it doesn't happen x
