Implantation bleeding??

Looking for some advice please from you lovely ladies. I'm currently 11 dpo and yesterday started bleeding (around 24 hours ago now), it's definitely lighter than my usual period (and 6 days early which is very unusual for me) but heavier than what I imagine implantation to be from other threads / sites. Has anyone ever had this and got a BFP? I just don't feel like it's a normal period - I've not been particularly hungry, have been weeing loads, crazy dreams, sore boobs etc. And I also don't usually get cramps with AF but I've had light cramping on and off as well as lower back pain. I did an early response test yesterday morning and got a BFN so maybe I'm just reading into it all too much but was just seeing if anyone else had had the same with a positive outcome? Just for an idea of how light it is, I put a pad on last night and there was nothing on the pad this morning but quite a bit when I wiped. That's generally how it's been all day with a light bit on a pad but it's mostly when I wipe. TIA

I don't have any success stories for you as currently TTC #1 but I am in the same boat (sort of). AF due on Thursday but on Friday night (9dpo) before I went to bed, I noticed a light brown tinge on the paper when I wiped. In the morning I had the same so I put a liner on. Continued to see the tinge every time I wiped but nothing on the liner (except for 1 very faint streak). This carried on Saturday and Sunday (11 & 12DPO) without getting any heavier or darker and then yesterday - nothing! I put a liner in this morning and still nothing and nothing when I wipe either. At this point in my cycle I am usually spotting dark brown blood.

The 'spotting' I had was nothing more than a watery pale brown tinge which I'm hoping was IB. I did a FRER this morning but it was a BFN so I'm going to test again on Thursday if AF doesn't show. Apparently it can take 2-5 days after implantation for HCG levels to rise enough to be detected on a HPT.

I've read that IB can vary from person to person. Some report one drop of bright red blood, some have a day or 2 of brown spotting and others have what they think is a light period lasting 3-4 days. So, you never know!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for us both 🤞🏼 x

I had implantation bleeding. My period was about 3 days late and then I got the lightest brown kind of staining that lasted about 3 days. I thought it was a weird period but thought I would check just in case and I was pregnant. After that I had very vivid dreams, so that's a good sign too👍🏻👍🏻

@eachtotheirown it's so frustrating the not knowing isn't it! I think I've got it in my head now that this month isn't my month but it doesn't explain my very early AF or all of the other "symptoms". I think I will test anyway in a couple of days for peace of mind. Fingers crossed for you and let me know how you go on when you test again 🤞

@findapenny I've just got this niggling feeling that it's not AF but I'll probably be wrong. It's just so unusual for me to not have my regular cycle, and obviously it would happen the first cycle of us trying wouldn't it! Congrats on your bfp 😊🎉

@eachtotheirown how are you doing? Did you test again yesterday?

Hi @whambam89 I bought more FRER yesterday with the intention to test this morning but I woke up at 5.30 to go to the loo and AF had arrived in full flow 😔 it's really weird as I have NEVER had a period start like this!

At least I now have tests in for next month 👍🏼

How are you getting on? I've got my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 x

whambam89 · 12/09/2019 07:56

@each2theirown oh no 😔 fingers crossed for next month for you 🤞

The bleeding has stopped completely now (lasted less than 48 hours) and was never more than a light bleed, just heavier than I imagine implantation bleeding to be so I'm really not sure! It's our first month trying so I wasn't holding out much hope anyway. I'm going to test on Saturday when AF was due, so if it was implantation then I've given myself enough time for HCG levels to increase. I'll keep you updated

@whambam89 yeah, please do 🤞🏼 that sounds promising for you! TTC does funny things to our cycles, mine have been fairly unpredictable since we started x
