Experience of Implantation Bleeding

58 replies

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!

I'm also in this boat! My periods are usually very regular so wasn't due on until 20th but started spotting yesterday and today, it's mainly brown and nothing like my usual AF. I've read up about implantation bleeding but I think it's far too early for that for me as we only DTD over a couple of days and that was last weekend. No idea what's caused it but is probably just my luck that on my first month of ttc for baby #2 I'm having a weird period!

@SpecialToffee thank you sharing your experience! Interesting as mine was quite mucusy yesterday! Had a bit more brown when wiped today, just hoping it not a new AF symptom! 🤞🏼

I only had it for my first pregnancy too. I don’t remember getting cramps, just the bleed - a small amount of pinky brown discharge, quite mucousy. Several days before period due.

@Inhaleexhale23 thanks for sharing! I knows it not exactly common to have implantation bleeding and it seems to be quite different for everyone!
Almost clear CM today, one tiny bit of brown when wiped this morning and that's it! Cramps are gone!
Think I'll test in the morning and see!

I had it for one pregnancy not the other. For me it very very light brown spotting for the day my period was due - e.g a few spots in knickers no need for a pad. I don’t think I had cramps but can’t honestly remember!

@Melabells thanks for replying!
Sounds very promising, I put a pad on too this morning, but there has only been a tiny bit since and it's almost clear again now! I was a bit worried that red/brown was the wrong colour, but I've seen on DR Google that it can be that colour, as this is cycle 9 🤞🏼

Only ever had it with my first baby. Was at gym had some intense cramps thought "great period is starting" went to loo wiped was pinky CM put a pad on us my workout still cramping as if I was getting my period. But after my workout there was nothing on my pad. I suspected something was up tested two days later and had my first ever positive test.
