TTC weird shirt and light period

Hello, We've been trying to conceive. I usually have a 28 - 30 day cycle. I experienced cramps on night approx 12 dpo then the next morning I started what I thought was my af (bright red blood) it was a very light flow compared to what I usually experience but I needed a tampon, the next morning I used a tampon but by the afternoon it had tapered off to a very light flow and in the afternoon was just when I wiped. For next last two days I have just had slight brown spotting just when I wipe. I have done a hpt but it's negative. Could i still be pregnant despite the negative? Unusually get very heavy periods so this is very unusual for me. I am 37. Also I want to ttc this month and planned on starting epo as it helped me conceive last time but I am unsure now in case this bleed was implantation or I am pregnant and your not meant to take epo. Really appreciate your advice as very confused! :( Thank you

Hi. I think if you are having negative tests it means you aren't pregnant, or rather you could have been but the bleed may have been chemical and therefore levels are now too low to show on pregnancy tests. Was the bleeding accompanied by cramping. Or you may have ovulated earlier than you thought and it could just be AF.
Sorry, I can't really give you answers, but that would be my guess.
Good luck

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I had some mild cramping the day before and on the first day. I had similar bleeding when I got pregnant with my daughter (I also got a bfn until a few weeks later) but so long ago I can't remember exactly but I always have a 5 day heavy flow so a 1.5 day light flow is very unusual.

Well….considering this has happened to you before then maybe you are. Good luck either way. Hope the wait isn't too long .

Hi Cat, I've just come across this and I'm going through the same thing. I'm 6 dpo and am bleeding. AF not due for 9 days. How are you getting on??

Hi Emma, I'm still getting bfn, had light brown spotting when I wiped for a few days now nothing. Despite bfn I have tender breast to the touch (am I imagining this?) I dont
Know what to think! Have you had any luck? How long did you bleeding last? Was it red?

Novia · 18/01/2015 22:21

Hiya - I had exactly this - 3 days past usual start of period, then very light flow, only lasting a couple of days. Took 5 days but finally got a (faint) BFP this morning! Good luck!

gettheartbug · 18/01/2015 22:22

I wonder if it's just all wishful thinking. Probably would have got a bfp by now surely?!

emma85x · 18/01/2015 22:35

Novia - Congratulations!! Amazing news! Flowers
