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?

That was aimed at GingerBread by the way. Sorry your result isn't what you are after mamaloves but try again in a few days

thank you 8months its taking some time to sink in. hope lots more bfps appear on this thread.

MrsG23 · 07/02/2015 17:20

AWww ginger so bloody happy for you! Flowers

My skin is clear, the cramping has stopped, the spotting has stopped. And I'm due on in th next 48 hours... My boobs aren't as sore as thy were last month when AF arrived - but then they weren't sore when I was first pregnant? So...

8months my husband thinks I'm mad too - I try and say "I'm doing all of this so I can understand my body better!". Don't think he is convinced haha

mama.. I didn't show positive on any test until I was nearly 9 weeks gone the first time! Whereas others get their BFP at 7dpo.. It differs massively!

Well that's encouraging MrsG re not testing positive for so long. I won't give up yet! Worst thing about being in limbo is I'm not sure if I should have a glass of wine or not... Confused.

Is this your second time around then? It clearly doesn't get any easier!

MrsG23 · 07/02/2015 18:42

I was pregnant at 18, 2 months after my husband and I got together... And we didn't go through with it. It's not something I regret, I just regret having to be in that position and make the decision, if that makes sense? It's ok though.

Definitely feel your pain regarding wine! If I wasn't getting ready for a night shift, I'd be having a glass now! ;)

gingerbreadmam · 07/02/2015 21:55

thanks Grin

is it right that until the placenta grows baby doesnt get what u eat / drink?

a glass of wine or two this early o probs wont do anything but i know what you mean. i was out last friday and already feel a bit guilty.

I ended up having a teeny tiny glass in the end. I'm sure it's fine.
GingerBread how are you feeling??

OP posts:
MrsG23 · 08/02/2015 00:49

ginger - you didnt know you were pregnant at that point - we wont hold it against you! :)
8months dont blame you!

Currently at work on my break - small bit of spotting still and nothing else. No cramping either. A whole week this has been going on now... Surely though, I would have a BFP now? It will be 13 days since last DTD and since ovulation...?? surely I should BFP by now??

gingerbreadmam · 08/02/2015 08:04

aww thanks!

i dont know u know some people dont get bfps for ages. suppose it all depends how much hormones r going around your body from baby. av u poas again?

urm feeling weird i guess. last time it was so exciting told my close family and friends then it all went wrong. now i kind of feel like yes im pregnant but right now it means nothing (how awful is that?). my mam and dad know one of my dbs and one of my best friends cos she has been thru the same and knew she would understand.

soo yeah weird. i am going to get some vitamin d today and some new jersey trousers for work (i always wear leggings and tunics and was paranoid it gave it away too quick before, not that i had a bump but i was very bloated) id rather not tell work until scan. i had to last time cos of bleeding i had a few sick days and got scared about being dragged to occy health. god this post is depressing.

Ginger I can understand you not wanting to get too excited this time, I think I would feel the same. How far along were you last time if you don't mind me asking? I'm not a medical expert obviously but I guess these things do happen sometimes so there's no reason it should happen again. Try not to be too depressed, we're all happy for you!

MrsG have you tested again yet? It certainly seems odd that this has been going on so long. Perhaps you should try to see your GP in case they can help? But I agree with Ginger, it can take ages for a BFP from what I have heard.

I just did - a week and a day past suspected implantation and nada. In a weird situation now where I am testing everyday but have also now started back DTD to try to get pregnant in case I'm not - gah!

Ok so I was just about the throw the test away but when I looked at it there was the faintest of faint second lines - buy my husband saw it too so I wasn't imagining it! I know that anything after that amount of time should be ignored but that has never happened before...

OP posts:
gingerbreadmam · 08/02/2015 10:20

8months if the line is pink i still reckon u could be onto something. when is af due?

my first bfp on thursday some people wouldt hae believed but its got stronger and stronge since and even today for a good visible pink line id say a least 5 mins wait. keep poas's and i will kp my fingers crossed.

the baby stopped growing at 5wks. i had minescule amounts of spotting not even blood coloured so didnt worry too much then at 8+6 i had a light bleed. had scan at 9 wks where things didnt look good. had to wait 2 wks for rescan to confirm. had a nitemare of a time and i believe in fate so by my fate rules im due a good run this time but that was all so recent its still playing heavily on my mind. the pregnancy only ended properly on 14 december when i had to have an emergency erpc.

im off to buy a digital today to do in the morning so dp can believe it lol! thank you.

Does sound awful, especially having to wait so long. It sounds like you're not having the same problems with bleeding this time though so hopefully that is a good sign. Maybe seeing it in words on a digital test will make it seem more real! And you must be nearing 5 weeks already? That is really early.

It's hard to tell what colour the line is. And it's so faint (and I hadn't yet put my glasses on this morning) that it could have been there the whole time but I just didn't see it. I'll go again tomorrow morning. If it's a real line it should be a bit stronger by then.

Who knows then AF is/was due. My ovulation app says 13 days ago but it could have been 8 days or more or less? My cycles have varied between 30 and 40 days since coming off the pill so it's difficult to really track properly. I should really have been using ovulation testing kits but that sounds like much more effort than just DTDing very other day Wink

if theres a line theres a line so the saying goes. can u hold a wee in for a while and have another go? either way it should be a bit stronger tomo.

my dp couldnt see my first line so i had to take it to my mam for inspection. have u tried holdinf the test up to daylight? i could see mine much better when i did that. how about uploading a pic?

You can't really see it in a pic. I'm going to try to forget about it until tomorrow then test again...

OP posts:
gingerbreadmam · 08/02/2015 14:38

oh damn it. putting the flash on made mine more visible lol. yeah wait until the morning and take care Thanks

MrsG23 · 08/02/2015 16:17

Spotting has stopped again. No cramping. My nips are sensitive and tingly. I feel like I'm getting thrush really randomly too...
AF due today or tomorrow... And nothing! BFN.
I'm reckon I'm out tbh... Just don't see how, at 13dpo I could have a definite BFN and then suddenly go onto get a BFP! :(

8months - retest tomorrow and pop up a picture! :)

MrsG I think I may be out as well, pending whatever my GP says tomorrow

MrsG23 · 09/02/2015 08:18

8months.. What are you going to your GP for? :)
I've been to June so often in the last year with my endometriosis, I just feel like an idiot everytime! BFN yesterday - haven't tested today. Was due AF yesterday or today.. Some spotting overnight but nothing like my usual AF so., not a fricking clue.

MrsG23 · 09/02/2015 08:18

That was meant to say doctor.. Not June! Ha! X

Just to see if they have an idea what might be going on - 49 days and still no period.
Fingers crossed you get a positive eventually!
I looked at the test again just before throwing away about 30 mins later and there was a faint line. Photos attached. Think I might be getting desperate though and clutching at straws

8months... I can see a line on the second one..?! But I'm not sure if it's evap? I'm pretty sure that if it is grey it's evaporating, if it's pinky coloured, it's a BFP?

gingerbreadmam · 09/02/2015 08:46

can u post a pic mrsg im also on the understanding pink is bfp grey is evap line. eekkkkk!
