Some of you may recognize my username - we've been TTC for about 15 months, I had two miscarriages last year and a chemical pregnancy last month.

Anyway so DH and I sadly didn't really get to take advantage of my fertile window this month as he was ill :( we did have sex on ovulation day though but it was the only time in the whole window :(

So yesterday, it was 6 days later and DH is feeling much better so we DTD, and afterwards I noticed a small patch of brown blood on the sheet. There was no more blood when I went to the loo and wiped and there's been no more since (24 hours). My question is, could this be implantation bleeding? Or could it be something else, and do I need to be worried? Thanks in advance :)

also think I had a very brief episode of sharp pain on the previous day. But tbh, I have been TTC for so long that I might have imagined it :(

Could be. Im confused when say you didn't take advantage of your fertile window when you had sex on your day of ovulation? That's definitely taking advantage of it! Once is enough!

If it gives you hope, I only had sex once during my 'fertile window' with both children I have and got pregnant from that one time. Good luck, sounds promising Smile

Thanks Ansumpasty! I know it sounds silly but we would usually have sex several times in the fertile window!

Could be, I had implantation bleeding six days after dtd with dc1. But in the kindest way, please try not to read too much into it just yet - it could be lots of things and I understand only too well how hard it is when you convince yourself you are and you're wrong. Fingers and toes crossed for you! Flowers

There really is no need! They always say that it's when you aren't trying hard that it happens Wink

Thank you NeedMore! I know I need to relax about it but it is hard, you're right

Well I'm currently looking at my 8 month old who was conceived by dtd once during a month. So it is possible. But then again I went through 10 years of not conceiving before she finally came along so don't get your hopes up too much xx

I had brown blood both times I was pregnant. However I think mine was about 3 weeks after conception as I already knew I was pregnant both times.

Thanks guys. I think it might be a waiting game, again...Hmm

I remember the two-week wait well. It's just horrible and tries to take over your life. This could be implantation but be kind to yourself try not to get too excited until you know ( I know! ) You should be able to test in a few days? Good luck .

Secretlifeofme · 04/02/2018 09:36

Thanks @Hellshotforgoodreason. I am due on Friday so I'm thinking of testing on Wednesday when I'll be 10dpo. Do you think that's too early?

Don't test until Saturday, op. Stop torturing yourself! Get busy doing something else and don't let yourself test until your period is late. Flowers

Update! So I had the spot of brown blood after sex on Saturday. Nothing at all yesterday, but today I had another spot of reddish -brown when I wiped, and since this morning (I'm not in UK and it's late afternoon here) no more blood but a slightly pink - tinged discharge. I am on CD25 and AF isn't due until at least Friday. Very confused about what is going on! Do you think it could be implantation? Does the additional blood today make it more or less likely?
