Implantation bleeding?

14 replies

Me and my fiance are trying for a child of our on. We both have children from previous relationships. I stopped taken the mini pill in Aug and periods have came back but today partially this afternoon I noticed a small light trace of blood but nothing else since plus I don't feel as if I'm on my period as breasts are not tender plus I don't feel any cramping like you usually do

Is this possibly implantation bleeding?

I would do a test to see ... or if its too early for that - book a doctors appointment and ask for them to test! Its the only way to tell.

good luck

Thanks
It's been 14 years since I last was pregnant so can't remember much if I had any early signs or not so far there's no more blood if there is it's very faint

Hey! How many dpo are you or what cycle day are you on? I had the exact same thing yesterday!!! No symptoms otherwise.
Yesterday was 11dpo for me, cycle day 25. I noticed a thin streak of light pink on my white undies, then a couple specks when I wiped. Had absolutely nothing since then!?
I'm not due on until Thursday or Friday, and I never spot this far before my AF. Normally when I start AF there's no warning but when I first pee in the morning the gates open and don't let off for 2 days with crazy cramps and soreness. But this spotting happened in the afternoon..
But I've not come on early today, no period cramps. Slight tightness in front of my hips. And no more spotting!?

I hope you get your bfp!!

Loppylou37 · 22/10/2018 18:13

P.s. I'd only be 12/13dpo tomorrow.. I don't want to test too early but I think I might give it a go in the morning, only two days after what might be IB, if neg then will wait a couple days till Thursday or Friday when I'm due if AF doesn't arrive. How many dpo are you, are you going to poas??x

Was on the combined pill for years till a year ago then was put on the mini pill so when I came off them In Aug getting back into the swing of knowing when I was due AF is totaly messed up lol I've had a couple of AF and always had the cramps before they appeared just werid today I had none of that

I'm on folic acid as well just as heard its meant to be good for woman who are trying to conceive
We last DTD last week (sun) just not sure if this is a early sign of pregnany or just AF

I'm now at that stage where I'm hearing folk saying their pregnant and I'm like I wish that was me but I know it's still early yet and to give it time

Thinking of poas possibly in the next few days see if this bleed stays or not

I came off the pill in spring and thought we had a chemical pregnancy before my period even came back, I hadn't bled for ages since coming off, had every symptom in the book and had them bad, had a super faint positive and came on horrendously a week later!
It's a nightmare getting them back to normal but I love not taking the pill and letting my body do it's thing.
How strange that you're not having any cramps!? Literally the second I see blood my cramps start and they're horrific, so I agree that it's strange to have this and not see a period or have the usual cramps that follow the blood or come just before!
This is the first month I've tracked days and ovulation, but I normally come on around the 26th, this spotting has seriously thrown me out. I think I'm going to cave and test in the morning. If it's neg then ill definitely be waiting till Friday when af should be in full swing or I'll test again over the weekend! I have to test tomorrow otherwise I'm going to spend this week reading every word on the internet about implantation bleeding and cervix position 😂
Although what I've read averages that IB should happen 9-12 days after ovulation, 4 days before period begins. And mine was 10 or 11 days after ovulation, and 3/4 days before period due.. I've been peeing a lot and checking every time and no more spotting so hopeful signs!
Folic acid is fab 😀x

Sometimes I worry though about will I actually conceive.
I'm 35 he's 43 both are going to gym to lose weight (need to look good in my dress) I worry about the age how long will it take any medication he takes etc

Cause I'm so out of tune with ovulation I'm thinking of getting those kits and trying that way

I know it's been a few months but I'm hopefull

Still no AF cramps though still have bleeding though it's not like AF more watery so still confused lol

I guess maybe it's worth running some tests and getting in tune with ovulation, I use flo app and like it so far :) helped when I had no idea what was going on with my cycles.
I guess it's normal to not fall pregnant when ttc for up to a year, so youre still fine and try not to stess! Easier said than done i know.
You're not out this month until you get definite AF! think positive!
I hope this spotting is IB for you. I'm going to test in the morning, expecting a bfn but I'll go mad if I don't test.
Will catch up!

Thinkcalmthoughts · 23/10/2018 15:53

Still strange how I still don't have any of the normal things that come with AF
Hoping maybe that the timing of dtd happened a week before AF then possibly next AF night be a no show

I know doc said could take months for AF to be normal but to experience the discomfort AF brings twice before then nothing this time totaly threw me off thinking of doing a test either Thurs or Fri

Well I'd say you're definitely right in thinking it if you haven't got usual AF symptoms. I never get any warning about af, sometimes I might have a crying session the day before but my severe cramps happen as I start bleeding! Last month I cried trying to explain to my SO how much I love him which we found hysterical, came on the next morning 😂 but that's a rare occurrence. Let me know how you get on with testing!
I got a bfn this morning, but I am only 13dpo and still a couple days till af due so not too worried, might be a couple days out with ovulation.. I'm testing again Friday, but probably Thursday as well because I have to be realistic about my addiction x

Thinkcalmthoughts · 23/10/2018 20:39

I was trying to go back to when I came off the pill and when I had my first AF and sure that was end of Aug in to the beginning Sep then I'm sure I had 1 more but can't pinpoint when lol think I might do a test sooner than I thought just so I know

Though things still don't add up still no cramps it's light very light and let's say what blood there is doesn't actually require a use of a pad etc mhhhhhhh

Minds all over joint trying to remember dates I'm that busy with trying to get fit and wedding planning

Blimey!! They say things happen in threes ey! I do get to that stage where I don't care what the outcome I just want to know, for instance was this IB bleeding cause it certainly wasn't AF, and if not what is it! More of a wait for answers than wait for result? I only tested this morning so I wasn't stressing over waiting another couple days, I sort of knew it'd be negative for whatever reason.
I've peed so much today and had constant heartburn and burps and 'wet burps' 😂
Have yourself a gorgeous bubble bath or something you deserve it!

Thinkcalmthoughts · 24/10/2018 14:31

Well couldn't hold off any more took a test and negative 😑😑 more bleeding this afternoon so must be AF and thinking taking the folic acid and going to gym must be easing the cramps slightly

Kinda disappointed but I now know and can get back to trying and dtd

Think I was just getting to excited and thinking I'll fall pregnant straight away when in reality I've only been off the pill since the start of Aug and we are now in Oct so it will prob take time so positive thinking from now on and fingers crossed for next time and I'm.defo marking down AF in calender so I remember lol

Deffo keep track! I use flo app really helps. At least you can get a better idea of things and log all your symptoms and at least you know if you are or aren't and can't get ready for your next cycle!! I wish you all the luck in the world! I'm sure your time is right around the corner x
