Conception

Was this an implantation spot?

I made a thread the other day and didn’t really get much response so I thought I’d try again!

I’m 8dpo and since about 3dpo I’ve had really dull lower back ache, mild and I mean very mild cramping.
My boobs are a little sore but it’s not really noticeable and nowhere near as sore as last month, I’ve been peeing constantly and it felt like a UTI especially with the pressure on my bladder (if you’ve had a uti you know what I mean)
At 6dpo I went toilet and wiped and it was literally a tiny dot of blood (it was the amount as if you’d bled from a spot type thing) I had mild cramping again that day and still lower back ache.
Yesterday at 7dpo I was peeing a lot and went to GP and uti test came back clear so it wasn’t an infection.

Today at 8dpo I’ve nothing at all no cramps no back ache as such, my boobs feel slightly more sore but still hardly noticeable.

Could it have been implantation spotting or am I just trying to convince myself it was? The bleed was red but I’ve seen that IB can also be red and not just the standard brown or pink. I really hate the TWW 😭😭

@MummaL32

That’s odd.. maybe dodgy tests!

I’ve still had sore boobs and a back ache that won’t go :(

Not sure what to think!

@MummaL32 I’m really rubbish at stuff like this, I can never see anything! But I agree they could be faulty tests? Maybe get some cheapos and see what happens.

Preseed is a sperm friendly lube, you insert it into the vagina about 15mins before dtd and it swooshes the swimmers where they are supposed to be. Have a look on google and even some past mumsnet threads. There has been a lot of success with it. I’m going for it again this month as I think every little helps and i can’t imagine doing it without it now. Also it helps if you are regularly dtd to keep you from being sore

@MummaL32 some people don’t get a positive until a week after AF is due, however I would maybe put this one down to AF arriving late but I hope that isn’t the case

@MummaL32 we all go through it, it’s such a horrible time just waiting and not knowing and especially when AF is late. It’s like a cruel trick our body plays. If she does come then just try and stay positive and see it as you can get going again soon.
Do you follow a plan? Or do you just dtd around ovulation?

We have sex every day we missed one day this whole month I have the app Flo and track my periods have done for a year before we started trying not been on conception for 6 years and we was using comdoms till a few months ago so not really a plan we are having sex constantly because we want to not to try Altho if it happens that's a brilliant bonus

@MummaL32 good on you! The worst thing is ttc but it feels unnatural so hats off to you both.

Has AF still not arrived? This happened to me last month and I had a 41 day cycle it was so annoying my body was playing games. If you do need to book an appointment let me know how it goes x

@MummaL32 I know it’s hard but if I was you I wouldn’t put yourself through the torture of testing again. I hope for you that you find out either way soon! Our bodies can be so cruel sometimes

Hey girls,

Went to the toilet and tmi but had thick white cm a lot of it?

@MummaL32
No af which is a good sign! Sometimes people don’t get BFP till a week late! If it’s not your month then it sucks but it will happen when it’s meant too xx


@AllHopeAndNoResults how are you getting on?

AF due 26th...

I’ve been having stabbing pains on and off.
Today had a funny taste in my mouth like blood, obviously creamy cm, more than usual.. last night this is going to sound weird but had a dream I had a baby!!! Felt abit worn out but that’s the same symptom I’ve had my whole life 😂 how about you?

I do feel different this month! If I’m not pregnant then I’ll be having a large gin xx

@sunflower tbh my symptoms have been similar to yours, I had a weird taste for about 2 days, sore boobs, loads of Cm had cramping and shooting pains in my pelvis last night. Had a bit of nausea on and off but for me I know AF is coming. I’m due either 20 or 22nd x

@Sunflower2019 you know what’s funny as well? At the beginning of the week I was convinced I was pregnant because of all the ‘symptoms’ and the fact I had the tiniest spot of blood, now I feel a bit silly even thinking I had a chance because AF is clearly on the way lol

Yes I know but also pms symptoms are so similar to pregnancy symptoms.. only time will tell.. I can’t test for a while as 5dpo so I guess 5 days? X

@MummaL32 oh no 😐 it’s confusing isn’t it! This month I truly haven’t just been imagining all these symptoms, I’m almost concerned if I’m not pregnant maybe there’s something wrong! I’ve been taking iron etc anyway.. but who knows! I can’t even test as only 6dpo.. think I’m gonna buy a frer so I can take it in a few days! I have a party 31st so if I’m not pregnant I will be getting very drunk!

Also one minute I seem to have symptoms, then they go! Also my bladder is filling up so quickly, constantly peeing! Don’t think I’m gonna bother buying any ic as they aren’t sensitive like they say!

Have you thought about a blood test?
