Hi

I'm just wondering whether anyone here has actually experienced implantation bleeding. If yes, when did it start?

I started spotting today (~9dpo) and had period-like cramps since Saturday (~6dpo). It can obviously be AF but I'm usually very regular and I'm not expecting it before Friday at the earliest, so I'm just not sure what to think of this. I'm not aware of any other symptoms.

I tried to read up on it a bit on other threads, but the topic a bit elusive with people sharing wildly different experiences.

Trying very hard not to get my hopes up though. I understand that ultimately only time will tell, but Friday suddenly feels very far away.

@babyfeet92 it's something I've never had at all in my last 4 pregnancies, so I can't really help other than reading about it but I know it's very common around the DPO that your on.

Thanks @ForGoodnessCake! It helps to know it happens roughly where I am now.

Strange how it's very typical for some people and other just never experience it at all!

@BabyFeet92 Hey, I had it with my last pregnancy but haven't had it with this one. I don't really know what DPO I was on as it was nearly 3 years ago, first cycle and wasn't tracking etc. I remember thinking 'oh this is early' and then shrugging it off thinking it was my body readjusting from the pill. Then I remember thinking it was short and not like a period.. it was more brown than red, on and off for a couple of days and that was it for me. I then tested about 2/3 weeks later as I wasn't feeling right and I tested and then got my BFP! Good luck 🤞🏻 xx

I’m currently 9/10 dpo... I’ve had some really strange warm cramping sensations today, headache from hell too.. I’m praying this month is my month but don’t want to get my hopes up, POAS - negative but I know I’m still early, has anyone had these cramps around this dpo? X

Thanks @Confused678866! What a lovely surprise to get!

I'm holding thumbs that this is what I'm having now but I guess I'll just have to wait and see if it develops into something more than spotting.

@Ttcbn2 sorry I can't help. Mine feels just like PMS cramps. Nothing warm about them. I hope it's good news for you though! Good luck with the wait and the headache!

@Ttcbn2 I am also 9DPO today and also did a test and BFN.... as expected though!

I haven't really had much symptoms over the 2WW but today I have had cramping on and off mostly on my right side! But again like you don't want to get my hopes up as feel I do every month 😖 I have heard tho that getting a headache before is very common in early pregnancy! So fingers crossed!

@BabyFeet92 Yes, it really was! Now I have a wild two year old boy, who really is the definition of wild!! Got my BFP a couple of weeks ago so hoping everything's okay and this will be baby number 2 🤞🏻
Keeping everything crossed for you, it sounds promising. Xx

@Ttcbn2 I had a horrific headache just before I got my BFP a couple of weeks ago.. it actually sent me to bed at about 8pm! I also had a really sore throat and cold etc so I thought it was to do with that but I don't know! I didn't have any cramps though I don't think. Good luck! 🤞🏻 xx

That's wonderful @Confused678866! Holding thumbs for a happy and healthy pregnancy for you

@BabyFeet92 Thank you! Keep me posted on your progress 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@BabyFeet92 I had implantation bleeding with my daughter at 13 & 14dpo very light pinkish spotting on off xx

Wish I could stop symptom spotting. AF is due in 2 days, I've had BFN every morning. Feel rough but know this is just another nursery cold picked up from my snotty toddler. Boobs feel weird and I've been super-weepy, but that's just PMT. can't wait to just finish this cycle and start again.

Hey ladies. Just moving over from the April board. Thanks for adding me @Lollipop25, I somehow missed the notification so am a bit late to the party.

Cd13 an 1 or 2dpo here. Ttc number 2 and this is cycle 5 for us .

Sending baby dust to all xx

Hi all, just jumping on this board because I'm currently in the 2ww and symptom spotting as you do.

@BabyFeet92 I had implantation bleeding with my first starting on CD35. I wasn't tracking ovulation and my cycles aren't regular, so I'm not sure how many dpo I was. If I remember correctly it was still a few days before I was expecting my period.

Hi All,

Can you get decent pregnancy tests from the supermarket or is it best ordering them via Amazon? Just thinking I might pop to the supermarket after work today if I still haven’t come on. What brand is the most reliable? As you can tell I’ve never taken a test before!
I’m feeling nervous.

Currently on CD26, past three cycles have been 24 days and I usually spot two days before. I haven’t had any spotting yet apart from tiny bit of brown on CD23. Got peak opk on CD11.

Thanks :)

AF is due tomorrow for me and apart from a day or two late last week when I had some of my usual pre AF symptoms nothing else yet! Fingers crossed this is my month - we've been trying for this one a lot longer than we had to for our DS. Am still going to try and resist POAS until the weekend although it's getting harder and harder now!

Thanks @Emsjourney and @Eyedontknow for sharing your experiences!

Unfortunately I think I'm out for this month. The spotting got a lot heavier late last night so I can't image that it can be anything but AF.

It's still very strange to me that it showed up so early, but I guess stranger things have happened. Oh well, next month we try again.

@Jefferson5 are you overdue? If so, I'd recommend a digital test. They are very accurate, you won't get any weird lines or faulty tests, indent lines or anything like that. Only downside is that they aren't very sensitive so it takes a higher concentration of hcg to show up positive - but if you're already overdue it shouldn't be a problem. Keep us posted!

@BabyFeet92 sorry to hear! How much earlier did AF arrive?

@Eyedontknow how many dpo's are you?

Fingers crossed for everyone in the TWW! I'm 5dpo now, I'm not symptom spotting until at least 10dpo ;)

Hi all,

Hope you don’t mind if I jump on, I’m 7 DPO and have had a few symptoms but not sure if I usually get them and just ignore them!

Good luck to all hoping for a BFP this month!

@Bundaberg84, thank you. On CD24, and I usually have a very consistent 28 day cycle.

Good luck for your TWW.

Just catching up as I’m away for a few days. Sorry to here that @dunkedbiscuit :(

Congratulations @Janerobs!

I think I’m currently 9dpo and I’ve had some period like cramps around day 6, a drop in temperature around this time too. I’ve had sore boobs since around then too, plus I want to kill my husband 🤣🤣

But I’ve noticed that my PMS gets worse as I get older. I also got my bloods back and they are normal which is good!!

I’ve got my second vaccine booked for Saturday and due af around Monday. I might take a frer on Friday morning! xx

Update:

Had my temperature spike so 🤞 that's a good sign.

Hello how is everyone doing? I am TTC baby no.2!
Only came off pill middle of April so early days I am an impatient person
Can anyone help me with some questions around TTC ? As my first dd I didn't knowing I was pregnant so my life was quite normal !

Can I still drink alcohol once/twice a week ?
Can I still do light exercises at the gym ?
Is a basic preconception multivitamin enough or will anything boost my chances ?
Is there any better sex position to help conceive?

Thankyou and good much everyone xxx

@Twochews78 I’m so glad to hear your bloods came back normal, I was wondering the result, I have found this TTC business throws all sorts of things in the mix, this week Iv been worrying my lutreal (if that’s how it’s spelt) phase is too short!! Dr google doesn’t help at all!!!
Big fingers crossed for a BFP for you this weekend xx
Husband and I have agreed to be more chilled next month, this month we both felt a real pressure to get the timings right, it even caused a bit of a row, so not worth rowing over!! I have felt a bit of disappointment as don’t think we dtd near enough to peak!! I’m about 1/2 dpo today, so riding out the next 2wks, it’s actually quite nice to not be peeing on opk today!!!xx

@Babyfeet92 aw man. My implantation bleeding was very much like an early period, but then dried up after 2 days. I'm still hoping yours is the same!

@bundaberg84 I'm not sure how many dpo. I track my periods but not ovulation and have irregular cycles. My app says that I am due my period in 5 days, but who really knows? I don't seem to have my usual PMS symptoms yet, but it has been a stressful month so could be a longer cycle this month. Already on CD 33!
