Implantation bleed... Or not?

63 replies

8monthsandcounting · 04/02/2015 14:53

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar esperience and what the outcome was? A few days after my period was due (according to an app; my cycles vary a bit in length so its hard to say what late is) I noticed some blood when I wiped after going to the toilet. This happened twice in one day but not again afterwards and there was no blood flow. The next day I had cramps. This was 3 days ago. I have also had a horrible cold so not really able to detect if there are any other symptoms. A test last night was negative.
Does this sound like an implantation bleed? If not, I'm really confused as to why I havent had a proper period?

It is quite possibly implantation bleeding. You may not get a positive quite yet, so wait a couple more days and test again. If still nothing by this weekend and you're concerned, see a doctor to find out what's going on.

I have this too..!? I feel your pain. Last period 4th jan. My cycles are about 35 - 38 days. Currently cycle day 32. Ovulated early last week (if my tracking and CM are to be believed). Had a drunken evening if fun with zero protection.. And now 7 days later, brown spotting and cramps that have been on and off (off for 24 hrs at one point) for 3 days. No idea what is going on!

Trying not to get excited in case it doesn't work out. Does seem possible though. Guess I'll wait a few days and test again. MrsG23 have you had any other symptoms??

A really sensitive right nipple - I have it pierced but it's never been this sensitive. I can't wear pens in my top pocket at work as every movement makes me shudder! That's it. Other than slight cramping (I'm used to painful, painful cramps due to endometriosis - these are a doddle!) and 3 days of brown discharge when I wipe... Crazy crazy.

test as early as you can in the morning. i had the same when i got bfp. light blood as if af was coming then it never appeared. no symptoms straight away but started getting backache which made me test. was a nice surprise Grin

Figster · 05/02/2015 07:18

I had this last month had been ill with cold had a light spotting bleed then nothing AF 6 days late then lasted for 12 flaming days. Bloody illness threw my cycle all out!!

Hope you have better luck

MrsG23 · 05/02/2015 09:24

BFN this morning... BUT I'm only about 7/8/9 spo so may be too early! Due on Sunday or Monday? I think I'm gonna have to wait over the weekend...
Slight smear on the tissue this morning, but that's it!

gingerbreadmam · 05/02/2015 09:27

mrsg are the test youre using sensitive 10mlu? think these are the only ones that can detect bfp before af.

ive got loads of bfns but jus realised tests are 25mlu so hopefully thats why. af due monday too. i did see a lot of dye on this mornings bfn hmmm!

MrsG23 · 05/02/2015 10:10

Yeh, just checked - they are 10mlu... Maybe it's just my body being rubbish?

I hope it's not just the cold messing things up - that didn't kick in properly until a few days later. Going to test again first thing on Saturday but finding it hard to wait!
Sorry about your BFN MrsG but as you say might be too soon
Gingerbreadmam is this your second time around?

OP posts:
gingerbreadmam · 05/02/2015 14:47

could still just be too early mrsg spose that why we are advised to wait till after af.

gingerbreadmam · 05/02/2015 14:48

Any updates ladies? I'm going to test again this morning... Still not feeling very pregnant but then I still haven't had a proper period either!

OP posts:
MrsG23 · 07/02/2015 08:40

Morning 8months!
The cramping has stopped. One smear of brown on a tissue this morning (nothing for 48 hrs before that).. Itchy boob. My skin has suddenly cleared. And that's it. I just don't know how I feel? Don't know if I feel pregnant.. Just feel bloated and 'aware' of my womb, if that makes sense?
Due AF tomorrow or Monday?

Let us know how it goes!? :)

Sounds intriguing! BFN for me sadly. I'm convinced it's not going up happen. Have made a GP appointment for Tuesday to see if they have any suggestions. If that was a period then I'm into the next cycle now so had better start trying again!!
Really hoping you get a more positive outcome MrsG

OP posts:
MrsG23 · 07/02/2015 08:57

It's bloody frustrating! Haha I just wanna no if I am or not so I can work out how best to let my husband know... He is anti babies so I don't wanna be in limbo for too long! :(
How long have you been trying for, 8months? X

I'm sure he won't stay anti for long Smile I have had to do a few secret tests because I think my husband thinks I am a bit mad and obsessed!
We've been trying since June but I had only just come off the pill so cycles have been a bit irregular. I know that's not that long and some of my friends - and my mum - tried longer but when it's you it feels wrong. How about you? X

Testing negative on day 18 of 21 day cycle

Should a clear blue test be able to pick up a positive if pregnant?

Oops Sorry new to this
Thought I was starting a fresh question Confused

Well in response to your question, it varies from person to person. In theory it could pick it up. I guess no harm in doing the test now unless you're trying to save the expensive sticks!

OP posts:
gingerbreadmam · 07/02/2015 10:49

clear bfp today Smile

btw last time i was pg i didnt get any spots i was amazed. i also have a feeling in my tummy like theres an empty ball on there almost. sounds promising!

mamalovesbaby777 · 07/02/2015 10:52

Thanks I did test and it was negative but hoping I'm just testing too early! :/
