TMI (photo inc) and very sorry..

[TisTheSeasonToBeHammered]

My last period was 18th November. Usually spot on cycles and no bother whatsoever with bleeding in between

Quick check of calculator says I should be ovulating right now - we are not actively TTC but wouldn't mind if we did..

Now this today - sorry ..not heavy enough to be a period?! Is this what spotting is? Only blood when I wipe, it's pink/reddy so fresh blood; not brown..nowhere near enough to soak a pad or anything

Any ideas?

FGS, it's a bit of blood on a tissue, I could show you all a way more tmi manky photo than that.

OP, don't mind them, could be implantation, could be wee bit of blood from a uti, just keep an eye on it & see GP if worried.

Haha! Have you read your own posts navy?

It looks the same colour as the implantation bleed that I had with DS1.

Good luck OP

I was referred to a gynae for bleeding between periods.

It could be:

• hormonal fluctuation leading to mid-cycle bleed
• Hormonal fluctuation leading to early/late period and this is the beginning
• implantation bleed assuming sex was the correct time before it (google to see when that would be)
• due to some sort of physical scratch/damage which happened during sex
• a problem with the cervix which is bleeding, usually after sex or vigorous exercise.

Keep an eye on and note of symptoms. See GP if they persist and are not normal for your body/cycle.

Op, ignore the twits complaining about the pic.

Because you keep mentioning me in your posts and asking me more questions. I'm happy to stop whenever.

How are you tracking your ovulation? I 'thought' I knew when I was but apparently I was ovulating far earlier than that (right after the period) and I was pregnant and didn't know it and had an implantation bleed like that. Almost exactly 2 weeks before the next period was due. Worth testing?

Navy, you have not had anything constructive to add.

Please go and find a lovely thread to post on where Father Christmas is real, everyone gets on with everyone in their families (esp their MIL), and women don't ever see blood on toilet tissue.

I had lots of brown blood when I was pregnant and everything was fine. It's nice to see you're getting lots of support

Would people be reacting like this if it was a photo of a nosebleed? What's the Germaine Greer quote - if the thought of tasting your own menstrual blood makes you feel sick you've got a long way to go to emancipation?

Yep, could be implantation bleeding. Set your mind at rest with a visit to your G.P.

Ignore the pearl clutchers.

Clopysow I think I love you.

Absolutely no need for a photo like that. Grim.

I thought implantation bleeding was more brown? This looks like bleeding between periods and I'd get it checked out if I were you

Hard to say what it could mean but just to add some light relief I'd like to say that I'm sure it's a lucky blood stain because it looks like a fairy x

If you don't normally have bleeding between periods then I'd visit the GP.

OP I had implantation bleeding with DS - could be. See what happens overnight, from (hazy) memory it didn't last long but a bit on/off couple of days (as per your photo but now and again when you wee). Yes prob a good idea to move to TTC threads - ps: you might need to change your username if drinking is now out...

I'm not in the least big grossed out by it, but I am completely dumbfounded at taking a photo of a bit of blood streaked loo roll
Just looks like a bleed inbetween a period doesn't it?

Hi op.
I had some spotting around when ovulation was due this month. I never ever bleed mid cycle so took a pregnancy test. It was positive, but I thought it would have been far too early to have been pregnant from this cycle. Ended up going to epu who have in fact confirmed that I did conceive this cycle but must have ovulated super early. I have a thread in conception if you are interested.
