Implantation bleeding?

31 replies

Ijustdontknow2021 · 08/03/2021 08:26

Hi. I'm new to this. I feel I may be experiencing implantation bleeding. Today is the third day. Yesterday I took a home test which gave a positive result, I took a second one which was negative. I took two more today, also negative. Is it too early to test? And why did I get a positive?

@yahyahs22 not really. day 54 no period. only difference for me is headaches and this morning I woke up at 4 to use bathroom and couldn't stand up I fell over. Bit better now but dizzy. I've been using OPKs but had no positive results. Just waiting for my doc appointment 🤷‍♀️

hey @1997Babyx I'm still the same..waiting. Negative test yesterday CD 44 today. I don't know if or when I ovulated. I have feeling similar to before AF but I've felt like that for a week now on and off and still no AF. I am going to start doing ovulation tests with the thought that maybe I just didnt ovulate? I can't explain my positive on digital test though maybe it was just one of those true false positives 🤷‍♀️.

Hi @1997Babyx I took a test yesterday, BFN. Felt I bit bloated today and very tired this afternoon but not much else. I'm not going to test until next weekend in the hope that either AF shows up as I'm completely wrong about everything that's been going on the past week or so and I really didn't ovulate, or that I get some more symptoms so that I stop doubting myself!
How many dpo are you?

1997Babyx · 14/03/2021 16:47

Does anyone on this thread have an update :)

I'm in a similar position - had some brown discharge/spotting a couple of days ago. Now all BFNs (after one BFP BEFORE the spotting?!?!?) But no AF!

Mega confused lol

Emeraldgreen1 · 12/03/2021 20:54

I would recommend OPKs, a lot of women on here find that they ovulate earlier or later than expected.
Have you had any more symptoms? I keep doubting myself about the spotting I had, but I was CD 23, so early, and when I've read comparisons between implantation bleeding and AF, mine was exactly like implantation, as I said before, this was nothing like my usual AF, no red or clots and came in waves and was very watery and pink.
I really hate this waiting though.
Well, we are both either going to have a late bfp or a late AF! Hopefully the former!

I didn't track we just had sex a lot over the expected ovulation area😂. I suppose I could have ovulated late and everything could be behind but I've now reached day 42 of my cycle AF is usually about 35 days. I have had a 42 day cycle before and got a normal period but it seems unlikely. If I experienced implantation bleeding that is now a week ago with a positive digital test so I would think surely I would see something by now. I'm going to pick up some opk today and start tracking properly, I don't like this limbo. You're sounding positive though so that's exciting! I really hope there's a baby in there🤞

@Ijustdontknow2021 still nothing! No AF and BFN. Have had some new symptoms though...last few days I've been really hungry about an hour after dinner, feel like I've been peeing more. Have had a really weird pulling/tingling feeling in my stomach and pelvic area, and been really bloated, but hungry at the same time today.
I used OPKs and started testing on CD11 and got a high reading and I'm sure on CD12 it was positive/peak. The same day I had a tingling sensation in my ovary which makes me think that I must have ovulated, so if I wasn't pregnant I should have had AF by now as I'm 17dpo. Unless I'm totally wrong 🙄. I've read about a lot of women who haven't had a bfp until up to 3 weeks after AF being due.
I just feel that with all the symptoms I've had and the timing of them, I should be pregnant. I will just test every few days, and I might start OPKs on Monday, just in case I am wrong.
Did you use anything to track ovulation?

@Emeraldgreen1 any news with you? I still Have nothing. Still bfn still no Af. I'm thinking at this point maybe just a missed period this cycle🤷‍♀️

@Emeraldgreen1 I'm with you no period and no positive. I've no idea what's going on, surely a chemical pregnancy would result in flow by now right? I watched so woman's progressive tests on you Tube....bad idea. I just feel completely deflated! I want to know for sure one way or other.

Hey @hels301990 no spotting for a couple of days, AF due tomorrow at the latest I think which would be 16dpo. I may test tomorrow but not sure. If I'm not pregnant then I don't have a clue what's going on with my body!
Of course I've been googling and some women not getting positive tests until they are 7 weeks, so of course, like a mad woman, I'm still thinking there could be hope of I get a negative! Just either want a positive test or a proper period rather than this in between

hels301990 · 10/03/2021 19:22

How are you guys getting on? Mine ended up turning into the heaviest period :-( onwards and upwards though!

Emeraldgreen1 · 10/03/2021 05:27

@Ijustdontknow2021 yes, lower back pain

Ijustdontknow2021 · 09/03/2021 22:32

I had a sore back yesterday, a little today but thought maybe I'd done something. Can that be a sign too?

OP posts:
Emeraldgreen1 · 09/03/2021 22:16

@Ijustdontknow2021 glad the spotting has stopped. Mine has completely too, really nothing at all today which is good. I think I will test in a few days. I have had terrible back pain and a couple of headaches, and seem to be quite hungry, but I'm sure it's just my body playing tricks on me!

Hey! Sorry😶. No more discharge for me. Mine was a dirty Brown colour kind of sporadic. Took another test and was negative so I guess I'll wait an day or so..It's just so odd. Like you guys it's never been like this before I would have probably ignored it if the first test was neg but now I'm so hopeful! I'm not perfectly regular either though so I guess it could be another. Had some cramping on day three so thought it was coming on for sure but nothing. I'm sorry to hear you both seem to be out at this stage, I'll update you next test although I'm trying not to be hopeful.

*reddy-brown

Emeraldgreen1 · 09/03/2021 11:49

@hels301990 sorry to hear that. I often have spotting a week or so before I'm due which is often teddy-brown. It won't harm chatting to your doctor but maybe give it another cycle to see if it was just an odd month?

hels301990 · 09/03/2021 11:44

Yeah it's fairly red and now I have period pain which I didn't have before so think it's building to flow properly now :-( I had really started to think this was my month as there was literally nothing this morning when I woke up. Now I'm thinking is this many days of spotting and weird start to a period a sign there's something wrong :-( we've been properly trying for 4 cycles and sort of trying but I don't think hitting the right time for 2 cycles before that so I know it's early days but something doesn't feel right

Emeraldgreen1 · 09/03/2021 11:23

Any updates @Ijustdontknow2021 ?

Emeraldgreen1 · 09/03/2021 11:12

@hels301990 sorry to hear that, is it bright red? Mine has definitely lessened and is just a very pale pink when I wipe.hopefully it will stay that way

hels301990 · 09/03/2021 10:09

Bleeding seems to be starting properly now - first time it's actually made it down onto my knickers so I think I'm out. Absolutely gutted. Never had a period like this

Emeraldgreen1 · 08/03/2021 12:43

@hels301990 I know exactly what you mean, but it's hard not to be hopeful. I'm just going to try to be patient 😩
I usually spot before but it's red or brown. AF starts heavy and then eases off to spotting, nothing like this

hels301990 · 08/03/2021 12:32

@Emeraldgreen1 Ahh that's interesting!! I think I saw no red somewhere and stopped reading.
I'm the same; would usually have maybe one day of brown/red spotting, couple of days of red steady flow using maybe 4/5 tampons a day, then a day of lighter flow and a day of spotting/last bits of brown. I've also got zero cramps and on the day before/first 2 days I'm usually dosing up on the paracetamol. I've just got a sort of funny feeling in the bottom of my tummy but not really cramps or painful. Boobs are heavy and sore (but they were heavy and sore the last two cycles and I wasn't pregnant) although they did stop on the first day or so of bleeding 🤷‍♀️ just feel like I don't want to clutch at straws and be disappointed!

Emeraldgreen1 · 08/03/2021 11:41

@hels301990 I've read on quite a few websites than you can have any colour bleeding, pink, red, brown or rusty! Also read that you should wait 7 days until after bleeding to test so that you have enough hcg as that only starts being produced after implantation. My bleeding is down to practically nothing again, this would not happen with a normal period, at least not for me and not so soon. I've definitely not got a usual AF colour
