Waiting for the real Aunt Flo...

[Mamabear12]

So, I started spotting day 23 and I thought my period began as it got slightly more. Enough to need a panty liner or underwear would get some drops or blood. I have been wearing pads as I assumed Aunt Flo is here. But I’m still waiting for my heavier Flo. Is this my body playing tricks on me??? It’s so frustrating! I always have one super heavy day where I can feel it coming out when I go from sitting to standing and when I need to wear and change my pads frequently. I don’t think I’m pregnant as my body has done this before where I spotted early for a few days and period started. But it sure is hella annoying! I’m trying to also guess my start date for my next cycle. But hard to tell as not sure what is exactly my period w this spotting!!!

Anyone else in the same boat??

This happened to me. Started spotting Thursday thought AF was coming. Needed a pad but Friday and yesterday was virtually non existent. Took a test this morning and BFP!! Baby dust to you!

MyloC big congratulations!! It seems implantation bleeding happens to a lot of people. I wish that’s what it was for me. But unfortunately, it’s been a few days of spotting so I think it’s just a slow annoying start to my period! I’m just waiting for the real thing (I know when I’ve had my heavy day). It’s just annoying now bc I’m not sure when to count it as first day of period. Arghh!

If there is anyone else who had implantation bleeding please share your stories. How much blood, how long did it last? I’m interested in it. I know that’s not what I’m having. But it’s still a curiousity of mine.

I'm having this at the moment. AF due today but had blood when I wipe since Thursday. A bit heavier last night and today, but still nothing on any of my pads. I don't know when to class the first day of a new cycle. I'm going to wait until it stops completely and go from there, but it's the first time this has happened so I'm a bit confused!

Yes me! So as I rule implantation bleeding is pretty uncommon, didn't have anything with my first no bleeding no symptoms nada. Ttc number 2 noticed I would have spotting getting heavier until AF, I worried about short luteal phase and everything. One month same thing spotting started on day one it was brown blood, day two it was heavy enough to wear a tampon was quite pink, day three still there day four it tapered off, no AF, I took a test, I remember clearly thinking why are you testing you moron you have this every month, its AF, BFP nearly fell off the toilet, bleeding continued on an off for next week or so, I now have a four month old so yes it can happen x

I have two AF versions: one with 2-3 days of spotting (just a bit of brown discharge really) and then a normal to light flow, and one where my vagina becomes a rainstorm of blood from one minute to the next (sorry for the imagery), and then tapers off gradually. Both last about five days. Confusing, yes. :D

Lymphy, this sounds exactly like me. But I have 2 dc and never had any spotting with them. I really do not think I am pregnant. But I too have the spotting before periods (which started in last year or two). And this time I am STILL waiting for my real period to show. Usually on day 2 it becomes super heavy, like there is NO confusion there, blood gushes out if I've been sitting for a while and then stand. Pads filled etc. Sorry TMI. Anyway, I am still just spotting. Enough to make a few marks on the pad, but not enough to wear a tampon. I dug around and found one pregnancy test. I am wondering if I should even bother trying it. I mine as well, but like you...I feel stupid as I am sure my AF is coming. Perhaps if I POAS this will help my AF to come full force. I thought posting about this, would make AF come with full force lol.

Fingers crossed for you @Mamabear12 x

Still no full flow over here, I'm going to test tomorrow but fairly confident that this is just a very weird AF for me x

It really is strange. It is also annoying, as I am waiting for my full flow day. LondonKez, keep me updated. I guess it seems to be normal, that some women get strange AFs when trying to conceive! Lol.
