Implantation bleed... Or not?

[8monthsandcounting]

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?

Yeah it's probably nothing sadly!

ahh u already have a pic on, logging on on pc to take a nosey

urm that is exactly what my first line looked like on Thursday, I can see a pink tinge is there one? have you held it up to the window? omg! exciting! 4 days later and still a day before af due and afternoon pee cb digi gave me pregnant 2-3 weeks!

Not much daylight when I left the house this morning but will check again later. I'm just a bit suspicious because it was outside 10 minutes again.
How are you getting on Ginger? Starting to feel more excited now?

was it just that you hadnt seen it tho? i would say that my lines werent really appearing until the stick had dried quite a lot so possibly even outside of the timeframe but u cant argue with a cb digi.

urm trying not to think about it i guess. then a wave of nausea comes over me and reminds me. my excitement is hiding right now. i am 4 wks today. baby stopped developing at 5wks something last time. i know i wont know whether all is well unless i av raging symptoms but once i hit the 6 week mark i think i will relax a bit. then there will be the 8wk booking in apt (i never got to last time as was booked at 9wks then they cancelled then i discovered mmc) then the scan. im glad i am 4 wks now and a third of the way down to the scan now lol!

quick update: went to GP this morning who didn't seem particularly interested. Said I might be pregnant or not, didn't let me have a blood test and said she couldn't do any tests that were more sensitive than a HPT. Told me I just had to wait and see what happens! So a total waste of time. Still no period, still negative tests (not even an evap line now). Think my body is just playing tricks and AF will arrive eventually.

Ginger sending best wishes your way and really hoping it works out this time

MrsG any news??

Hi 8months how sensitive are the tests that you are using? I swear by the superdrug own brand it picks up 10mlu xx

i found the asda tests to be quite sensitive too. could try different times of the day aswel. my first test with fmu brought nothing up but a 5pm test did!

thank you.

I've been using strips bought on Amazon which are labelled as 10 so should be as sensitive as the Asda ones

ohr well i hope some good news comes your way asap! fingers crossed.

Hi ladies!

8months - I dont ever think GP's have any idea what to do with us as we all differ so much - so they just say "see how it goes.."
As hard as it is, maybe its best to take it day by day? Its so awful being in that limbo.. not to give you false hope, but the first time for me, I missed 2 periods before I showed BFP. There is still hope!

I thought I could see something on the test .. then that evening had bright red spotting. Then it stopped.
Today, although its SO light, its bright red blood and Im in agony (which is fairly normal for me with AF).
Our bodies are designed to confuse the hell out of us and keep us guessing constantly!

Fingers crossed for you 8months x

Evening ladies, just checking in to see how you are both getting on. No news here unfortunately!
