Implantation bleeding or AF? Please help a desperate long-term TTCer!

[Secretlifeofme]

Help please! I am on CD26 of a cycle that is usually at least 29 days. DTD on cycle days 17 and 18 and think I ovulated on CD19. This morning I was very surprised to see a tiny amount of brown spotting when I wiped. It's now after 6pm (not in UK) and I haven't bled at all since. How likely do you think this is to be implantation bleeding vs the dreaded arrival of AF? We have been TTC for 18 months, had two miscarriages and a chemical, and I'm desperate for this to be my month. Thoughts please?

I should add that I had my chemical pregnancy in January, so it seems like any disruption that caused to my cycle should be over by now.

I had the same thing, a tiny amount of brown spotting on CD25 which didn’t turn into anything else. I got a BFP 2 days later on a FRER. Everything crossed for you

Ahhhh thank you @AaronPurrSir! Congrats to you as well :) I am trying very hard not to stress out about it, as I got into a very negative cycle of stress before Christmas, where I would literally be taking 20 or so tests before my period was even due :( but it's so hard when we've been trying for ages!

Bumping for any other advice please

No advice but in the same position. I had pink discharge x 2 wipes two days ago and AF is due Wednesday. I’m also sitting on my hands re testing as after 18 months, I have spent so much money on tests - I could have had a nice holiday

Thank you for replying @Justwaitingforaline! I think maybe if you've had nothing for two days then that's a good sign? Fingers crossed, it's so difficult isn't it?

Anyone else?
