Implantation bleeding?

Has anyone had implantation bleeding and if so whats it like ?How heavy is it? How long does it last ?
Af isnt due till 15th jan and i started spotting yesterday just a little when wiping and it was really light pink. Then ive had a bit more again today only when wiping and its not reaching my pants. Ive had a little cramping but nothing to bad. Xx

Usually it's small in quantity, and often only lasts a few hours, rarely more than a day or two. It's also earlier than AF most of the time (depending on exactly when conception took place), usually around day 21/22 instead of day 28 (which sounds pretty spot on for you). It's much paler than normal AF, and is often slightly brown rather than red (although it's hard to tell if there's not much).

Sounds hopeful for you! Fingers crossed. If it was a successful implantation, your HG levels wills start to rise now, and might be high enough to POAS in a few days, but it's always better to hold off till day 28 if you can manage to restrain yourself because you're likely to get false negatives, and also not every implantation sticks, so you might get a BFP that doesn't stay, and I think that's much sadder than just waiting an extra two days and getting a BFN.

Fingers crossed for you! It's certainly a very hopeful sign Grin

@sazzle3
I had a little spotting a few days ago. The same as u, just light pink as I wiped but I only had it the one. I've been cramping a little too. Fingers crossed for u! X

That is so exciting fingers and toes crossed for you! Let us know when you POAS!

I had one tiny amount. Assumed I had a cut or something as it was bright red and no more than what you would get from a paper cut. Only other noticeable symptom was tender boobs. Fingers crossed for when you test!

sazzle3 · 12/01/2019 20:24

Mine has been on and off for 2 days and been very light pink and also once it was brown x

it seems to really vary. everything I read said brown but I definatly had red so brown and pinkish could still be implantation. when can you test?

sazzle3 · 12/01/2019 21:33

Going to get a test tomorrow and test on monday xx

Hi @sazzle3 did you test? I hope you had good news. I'm experiencing something similar but not due AF until 18 jan. I've assumed premenstrual spotting but really hoping it IB - although I never had it with DS or before my two other pregnancies which ended in MCs.

Rainbow714 · 13/01/2019 22:04

Hi im in the same boat as you! I took a test on Friday which came back negative, im not due on till Tuesday but my app told me to test so i did was, was gutted it was negative. I then started spotting and have been all weekend, i thought my AF was about to start and i was out for another month but just it hasnt (not yet anyway) if theres no change - think im going to test when AF is due. Good luck to you xx
