Experience of Implantation Bleeding

58 replies

fyre · 10/02/2021 21:31

Hi
In the dreaded TTW and think I may have had implantation bleeding!
But there's so much contradicting information about it so I'm just wondering if any of you lovely ladies have had any experience with implantation bleeding? If so what was your experience?
I've had mild cramps this morning for a couple of hours with some red/brown CM, since then it's just gone to pinky/brown tinged clear CM, cramps are completely gone!
Any advice of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

Only ever had it with my first baby. Was at gym had some intense cramps thought "great period is starting" went to loo wiped was pinky CM put a pad on us my workout still cramping as if I was getting my period. But after my workout there was nothing on my pad. I suspected something was up tested two days later and had my first ever positive test.

@Melabells thanks for replying!
Sounds very promising, I put a pad on too this morning, but there has only been a tiny bit since and it's almost clear again now! I was a bit worried that red/brown was the wrong colour, but I've seen on DR Google that it can be that colour, as this is cycle 9 🤞🏼

I had it for one pregnancy not the other. For me it very very light brown spotting for the day my period was due - e.g a few spots in knickers no need for a pad. I don’t think I had cramps but can’t honestly remember!

@Inhaleexhale23 thanks for sharing! I knows it not exactly common to have implantation bleeding and it seems to be quite different for everyone!
Almost clear CM today, one tiny bit of brown when wiped this morning and that's it! Cramps are gone!
Think I'll test in the morning and see!

I only had it for my first pregnancy too. I don’t remember getting cramps, just the bleed - a small amount of pinky brown discharge, quite mucousy. Several days before period due.

@SpecialToffee thank you sharing your experience! Interesting as mine was quite mucusy yesterday! Had a bit more brown when wiped today, just hoping it not a new AF symptom! 🤞🏼

Got more spotting today, watery red, think it may be AF instead 😟 thanks for your advice anyway ladies!

I'm also in this boat! My periods are usually very regular so wasn't due on until 20th but started spotting yesterday and today, it's mainly brown and nothing like my usual AF. I've read up about implantation bleeding but I think it's far too early for that for me as we only DTD over a couple of days and that was last weekend. No idea what's caused it but is probably just my luck that on my first month of ttc for baby #2 I'm having a weird period!

cautiouscovidity · 11/02/2021 12:35

My implantation bleeding was almost like a normal period but 1 day early. Quite heavy for a day or two then stopped quite abruptly. I just though I'd had a short, early period.

@AliceS88 mine looked nothing like normal AF either!
Fingers crossed for you! I've read that you should get a positive test if you have implantation bleeding!
Pinky red for me still with light cramps, more watery than normal AF but the cramps feel all too familiar!

Ooh are you going to test? If so when?

AliceS88 · 11/02/2021 13:12

@fyre my cramps are very familiar too but that is about the only thing that's like normal for me lol

@AliceS88 if I'd doesn't become like AF, I'll test Saturday, gonna give it a few days and see! Feel like the cramps are going now too, normally I have horrific cramps for two days, as soon as it starts, occasionally I'll get a little spotting one day before then BAMM AF will hit like thunder the next day, not like this at all!
I did google what implantation bleeding can look like on google images (not for sensitive eyes 🙈) and there are lots of different pictures but mine did look like some of them! 🤞🏼
Have you ever spotted early before?

OP posts:

Amz6219 · 11/02/2021 13:56

Once on 7dpo, one wipe of pink / red. Another time was two days of pink spotting at 14dpo ish x

bewitchingnight · 11/02/2021 13:57

Mine was exactly a week before my period was due, lasted 3 days. It was spotting like at the beginning of AF, I didn't have any cramps.

AliceS88 · 11/02/2021 14:05

@fyre I will have my fingers and toes crossed for you! Do let me know on Saturday if you're going to test!

I just googled it and oh my goodness there seems to be quite a difference in some of them! I usually have cramps for an hour or two, then maybe an hour of brown and then the floodgates open. Always heavy and clotty (tmi). I've got a hot water bottle on now as so sore but I'm used to that as I have endo. I think mine is just an early period due to DTD as haven't done it for a while so might have aggravated my body into having an early period, now that I think about it the same thing happened after my smear test, wasn't due on after that for a week or so but ended up coming on the next day.

Oh the joys!

@AliceS88 thank you!
Seems pinky red now so think may be in her way, just never had it like this before, on cycle 9 now, you'd think I'd be used to this 🙈
Still mainly when wiping tho, I've put a small pad on but it's just been a drop on the pads, but a lot more when wiping! Cramps have gone just have lower back ache into my legs and a headache now! Normally I'd just have terrible and pad down hip pain 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well all pinky red spotting is gone again and so have cramps, my boobs are feeling achey tonight now too, don't usually wear a bra when I'm not at work (not much to support 🙈) but tonight I've put one as the kept feel like they were being pulled down! Hoping it's a promising sign and not just the cold weather!

AliceS88 · 11/02/2021 18:14

@fyre sounds promising!

Had a little bit more watery pinky red when wiping once this morning, put a pad on again and nothing since!
Pulling my hair out stressing about it!

SirVixofVixHall · 12/02/2021 12:27

Have you done a test yet OP ?
I had bleeding with my second baby.

fyre · 12/02/2021 12:43

@SirVixofVixHall I did one 5 days ago (negative) before bleeding which was probably too early but I had one lying around 🙈 have irregular and long cycles so I'm not sure how many DPO I am, didn't use OPK's this month, went for a more relaxed approach, on CD 48 today (not unusual for me).
I think I'll
Test in the morning with FMU, I forgot this morning! 🙈 just feeling very tired, achey legs, even had a nap on Wednesday, fell asleep for an hour, which is very unlike me!

Pamparam · 12/02/2021 13:24
