Implantation bleeding or period?

[Fren1234]

Hello. I hope everyone is well. I wonder if anyone can give me some advice as I’m slightly confused with my body and what’s going on. I was due to start my period on Monday 27th April (31days). My last 3 cycles have started after 31 days. My husband and I are TTC for 6 months and did the baby dance when I was ovulating. From Tuesday 28th I started with cramps which were very minimal. On Thursday 30th I spotted once which was pale pink when wiping. On Friday 1st May I went to the toilet in the morning and was spotting, this time pale red and sticky in texture. I ended up wearing a panty liner and spotted pale red the whole day. There was no flow of blood which confused me. My cramps have gradually got more noticeable and constant. I’ve been feeling really thirsty and drinking lots of water and feeling fatigue (this could be nothing). I’ve only ever had cramps once before so this is all new to me. This morning I went to the toilet and noticed a light flow of blood. I thought great my period has started and have worn a pad for the day. As the day has gone on I’ve been spotting pale red and no flow of blood. Can anyone advise if this is a light flow period or implantation bleeding? Any advice would be helpful and appreciate 😊

Hiya, hope all is well with you. It kinda of sound like implantation. Fingers crossed for you. Have you got any other signs
I did have obvious signs of implantationwith youngest.

Thank you for taking your time to reply to me. I’ve woke up this morning and feel different like I’m on my period. There’s some blood there this morning rather than spotting. It’s so confusing when you don’t know what your body is doing. Can I ask did you just spot or have a light flow when you had implantation?

Morning, I know it's our bodies play all sorts of game on us.
I only had a single moment of brown spotting.

Hey, I'd be interested to hear how you got on with this. I'm in the same boat - I'm due on on Sunday (I'm usually quite regular), Thursday had light bleeding (when wiping), Friday it felt heavier like it could be period, now today (Saturday) there's nothing.

I'm keen to know how you get on too! I'm due on Monday according to FLO and when I ovulated but I had some brownish spotting earlier when wiping which is turning very faintly pinkish but nothing else.

Don't know if it's AF coming early (more than likely) or if I might be lucky this month!

Let us know how you get on OP. I am in a similar situation - starting spotting last night which has been brown and light all day (sorry TMI) probably the start of AF.

@Fren1234 have you taken a test?

Hello. I hope everyone is well. I ended up starting my period in the end so there was no need for a test (it’s always the way). I’ve never experienced this before so was a little confused what to do. I have my fingers crossed for the rest of you that are trying. xx

@deeleigh I’m the same! Due on tomorrow (Sunday) did a frer test Friday am which was negative, then started spotting in the afternoon so assumed period was early. Today there’s hardly anything and my rhr has gone up from 55 - 58. Don’t want to waste another test!

Sorry to hear that @Fren1234 I hope you get your BFP soon

Thanks for letting us know @Fren1234 . I think the same will happen to me, like you say it's just weird as it's never happened before (I wonder if current environment/stress is playing havoc with our bodies)

Good luck to you and everyone else trying x

@CEW19 So weird isn't it. I have cramps today, but nothing else. Will just wait and see (have already wasted two tests!)

@deeleigh my rhr has come down to 56 and period in full flow today! Fingers crossed for you though. Will definitely be looking more at my rhr this cycle coming up now though.

AF turned up this morning so was just early spotting for me 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ wishing you all luck though xxx

Still not AF for me, and BFN this morning. Just gotta assume I had a weird light period this month. On to the next month 😂😫

Hiya!

I hope it’s okay to join in!

So my story is,

I’m 26 with PCOS and was TTC (trying to conceive) for 3 LONG years, I finally got my BFP (big fat positive) in March and booked a private scan which confirmed I was 6w6d and we saw the heartbeat etc. I had no idea I was pregnant because the PCOS sends my cycles wild.

At my hospital scan at 9 weeks they couldn’t find heartbeat and it was confirmed a MMC (missed miscarriage) and I was given pessaries to kickstart the miscarriage as I hadn’t miscarried naturally, I had these on the 31st March and it took until 23rd April for my HGC to go back to normal and produce a negative test. We knew we wanted children so got back on TTC (trying to conceive) and due to my irregular cycles we didn’t know when I would ovulate so just took each day as it comes and now for 3 days my boobs have been so sore and today after urinating when I wipe there’s a pink smear on the toilet paper so I’m hoping this was implantation and not AF! How many days after suspected implantation bleeding are we supposed to test?

Does anyone have any similar stories. Xx
