AF late, negative hpt and spotting...

[LaurenM329]

Hi,
I had my copper coil removed 7th Jan. My LMP was 16th Dec but due to having the coil in I don't really know how long my cycle is.
Me and DH DTD on 1st, 2nd and 9th Jan. I didn't really think I had much chance of getting pregnant this month until I started having symptoms.
For the past 5-6 days i've had nausea, tiredness, irritability and i'm peeing like theres no tomorrow! I've taken 3 hpt's, the last of which I took this morning and all were bfn. I know I was due AF in the last couple of days.
Today I thought AF had made its appearance, but I only spotted for about 3-4 hours and it was very light (only when I wiped), and now it's stopped completely. A lot of what i've ready says implantation should happen before now, so i'm a little confused!

Has anyone had this happen before? When could a hpg pick up if that was implantation?

This could just be a late period, only time will tell unfortuantely!

The last few cycles for me have started like this. I had spotting that didn't even really justify a liner for 3 days before I got pelted with the full blown AF.

Obviously, hoping it is a bfp for you, but I think it's often easier to consider any spotting around the time of your period as your period about to show. From what I understand, implantation bleeding is pretty rare and only occurs in about 10% of pregnancies. It's just prevalent on mn because of the sheer number of us ttc!

Good luck.
