Brown discharge

[Carty76]

Looking for some advice...

In September I gave birth to our beautiful daughter who was sleeping. After the post mortem results we made the unbelievably difficult decision to try for another baby. I have irregular periods, always have had, so it’s really hard to say when my period is due but I started using Ovia which has my period due in 6 days. On Sunday I started having very dark brown spotting. Not much of it at all and pretty much only when I wipe, sorry!!! Confused as to what this could be? Any thoughts?

I didn't want to read and run just wanted to give a massive virtual hug for your loss. I admire you for having to make the decision to try again and can only imagine how hard that must have been

I was going to say ovulation bleeding but mine was definitely blood rather than brown. Could it be an early period?/normalizing cycles? Xx

I’m so sorry for your loss :( it could be ovulation bleeding, start of your period, implantation bleeding, none of the above. Unfortunately there’s not really any definitive answer. Best thing to do is wait until your period is due (according to ovia anyway) and if it doesn’t show, take a test. Good luck x

To begin with I want to say sorry for your loss - I'm trying for a baby too and have read online that the brown discharge/spotting could be implantation bleeding! I don't want to get you're hopes up but it could possibly be that! I wish you all the best and hope it's news you would like xx

Thank you. It truly was such a difficult decision to make. You’re right, it could be absolutely anything. I swore after burying our daughter that I wouldn’t get wound up or stressed about what was what if and when we tried for another baby. So I suppose the answer is to take each day as it comes and what will be will be.
