Experience of Implantation Bleeding

58 replies

fyre · 10/02/2021 21:31

Hi
In the dreaded TTW and think I may have had implantation bleeding!
But there's so much contradicting information about it so I'm just wondering if any of you lovely ladies have had any experience with implantation bleeding? If so what was your experience?
I've had mild cramps this morning for a couple of hours with some red/brown CM, since then it's just gone to pinky/brown tinged clear CM, cramps are completely gone!
Any advice of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

@SweetShopSurprise hi 👋🏼
I'm on CD49 today I have irregular cycles, this is the longest so far tho (only by a couple of days). I'm this cycle I decided not to use OPKs as wanted a break from obsessing, so I'm not sure exactly when I ovulated, it can be quite late on in the cycle tho!

1 day* even not 2 days 🙄

SweetShopSurprise · 13/02/2021 08:56

OP, I had what I think was implantation bleeding in Dec (chemical) I had brown discharge for 2 days, 7 days before AF was due and cramping/ lower back pain. This was on the Sunday, it lasted for a day, by Monday evening it had all gone. I had a faint positive on the Thursday.

I’d say wait and take another test tomorrow morning now. How many DPO are you?

@AliceS88 yes maybe you're right! I'll have a little read to calm myself down a bit!

@fyre I've been reading all about this now after my experience and although lots of conflicting info, one of the common points I've read is to wait a few days after the bleeding stops before testing, perhaps too early?

Managed to squeeze abit more out, seems to be a BFN 😟 I was feeling really hopeful too, still slight pink tinged CM today, definitely nothing like a period! Totally confused

@Pamparam did you have any cramps with it? I'm hoping so 🤞🏼

I had two days of light brown/pink. It does sound promising OP!

@SirVixofVixHall I did one 5 days ago (negative) before bleeding which was probably too early but I had one lying around 🙈 have irregular and long cycles so I'm not sure how many DPO I am, didn't use OPK's this month, went for a more relaxed approach, on CD 48 today (not unusual for me).
I think I'll
Test in the morning with FMU, I forgot this morning! 🙈 just feeling very tired, achey legs, even had a nap on Wednesday, fell asleep for an hour, which is very unlike me!

Had a little bit more watery pinky red when wiping once this morning, put a pad on again and nothing since!
Pulling my hair out stressing about it!

Well all pinky red spotting is gone again and so have cramps, my boobs are feeling achey tonight now too, don't usually wear a bra when I'm not at work (not much to support 🙈) but tonight I've put one as the kept feel like they were being pulled down! Hoping it's a promising sign and not just the cold weather!

@AliceS88 thank you!
Seems pinky red now so think may be in her way, just never had it like this before, on cycle 9 now, you'd think I'd be used to this 🙈
Still mainly when wiping tho, I've put a small pad on but it's just been a drop on the pads, but a lot more when wiping! Cramps have gone just have lower back ache into my legs and a headache now! Normally I'd just have terrible and pad down hip pain 🤷🏻‍♀️

@fyre I will have my fingers and toes crossed for you! Do let me know on Saturday if you're going to test!

I just googled it and oh my goodness there seems to be quite a difference in some of them! I usually have cramps for an hour or two, then maybe an hour of brown and then the floodgates open. Always heavy and clotty (tmi). I've got a hot water bottle on now as so sore but I'm used to that as I have endo. I think mine is just an early period due to DTD as haven't done it for a while so might have aggravated my body into having an early period, now that I think about it the same thing happened after my smear test, wasn't due on after that for a week or so but ended up coming on the next day.

Oh the joys!

bewitchingnight · 11/02/2021 13:57

Mine was exactly a week before my period was due, lasted 3 days. It was spotting like at the beginning of AF, I didn't have any cramps.

Amz6219 · 11/02/2021 13:56

Once on 7dpo, one wipe of pink / red. Another time was two days of pink spotting at 14dpo ish x

@AliceS88 if I'd doesn't become like AF, I'll test Saturday, gonna give it a few days and see! Feel like the cramps are going now too, normally I have horrific cramps for two days, as soon as it starts, occasionally I'll get a little spotting one day before then BAMM AF will hit like thunder the next day, not like this at all!
I did google what implantation bleeding can look like on google images (not for sensitive eyes 🙈) and there are lots of different pictures but mine did look like some of them! 🤞🏼
Have you ever spotted early before?

OP posts:
AliceS88 · 11/02/2021 13:12

@fyre my cramps are very familiar too but that is about the only thing that's like normal for me lol

AliceS88 · 11/02/2021 13:09

[quote fyre]@AliceS88 mine looked nothing like normal AF either!
Fingers crossed for you! I've read that you should get a positive test if you have implantation bleeding!
Pinky red for me still with light cramps, more watery than normal AF but the cramps feel all too familiar! [/quote]
Ooh are you going to test? If so when?

My implantation bleeding was almost like a normal period but 1 day early. Quite heavy for a day or two then stopped quite abruptly. I just though I'd had a short, early period.
