Period 5 days early? How common?

[Diamondsamdrubies]

Regular 28 day cycle forever... However spotting today on cd 23. Ovulated earlier than normal too this cycle. Smiley face on opk on cd 11 rather than normal cd 14. Is this my period- earlier than normal by 5 days? Or is it...could it be... Implantation bleeding?
If I ovulated earlier does that mean drips arrives earlier too? Or does that remain the same?
TIA x

could be IB - Hope so!!! :)

Thanks changing! Keep fx please! Just seen same question that openerofjars asked recently! Unfortuately it was her period... And the sad thing is I contributed to that thread! Offering advice! Yet when I am in the same position - I seek advice from you wise girls! What an idiot! Sorry for wasting your time. But thanks xxxx

Quick update: thanks for your best wishes Changing! Just done a test: BFP! In shock. Reason: major period style cramping for the past two or three days. Please keep fingers crossed that AF does not rear it's ugly head. x

Hi Diamonds, in same boat here - started spotting Fri, a week early, tested Sat afternoon & got a VFP, became a little less faint Sun am. Still spotting a little, still taking the B6 in the hope of keeping the luteal phase going and improving the little ball of cells' chance of staying put. Torn between booking a Drs appt and waiting until I've actually missed my period. On tenterhooks and driving myself mental really - have done no work all morning today...

Jamama: very good luck! Fingers crossed AF stays away. I was taking a wide variety of drugs for health and fitness. Completely stopped as of today. Going to take a pregnancy multivit later today and hope that does the trick. B6 good during pregnancy then?

I think once it has 'taken' then you're meant to switch from B6 to B12... but don't quote me on that. B6 is for short LP but I believe can induce contractile activity in pregnancy; when I first came off pill was having 23 day cycles, which seemed to calm down (to 28d) when B6 taken in LP. Have only picked this stuff up whilst lurking elsewhere on here :). Have ceased non-pg multivits and will start pg ones once a little more convinced. Still on the folic obv. Have fingers & toes crossed for both of us. Afternoon a little more productive but have done way too much imaginary internet shopping of mat wear for summer weddings.... (rolls eyes at self).

Glad to know that I'm not the only one getting ahead of myself then! I've been window shopping on t' internet for nighties and pyjamas suitable for pregnancy and breastfeeding afterwards! I'm not as organised as I sound! Just needed to replace my manky ones - but never quite got round to it. But now that I need to enjoy lounging around the house, I need to look like a pro. While comfort needs to be a priority too, trackies are not kind. Nipples feel like they're on fire. Need soft flannel, granny material! ! ! Xxx
