spotting at 5 dpo?

[Redhollyberry32]

Hi, so this would be our fifth cycle of ttc seriously and I had some spotting on wednesday. We did the deed on both saturday and sunday last week. My boobs also feel different and I am exhausted/tingling in tummy - am I just being paranoid people? I hate the 2 ww!!!

Hi @Redhollyberry32
Do you track your ovulation? Could it be that you ovulated earlier than you think? Because implantation can happen around 6 to 12 dpo, so 5dpo is very early...

@Bundaberg84
possibly- but we never did it until
the saturday evening?!? Would that affect it? I could have ovulated on the friday but we didn't do it then. I got the smiley face on the OPK on the saturday morning. I have never had any spotting like that before? I hate this waiting around!! Where are you in your journey? X

I mean it's not impossible, but just a bit unlikely that it's implantation bleeding already. But as my ob/gyn said, sometimes there's just a random bleeding that occures during a cycle and nothing to worry about.
I'm currently 8dpo, TTC in 5th cycle. Theoretically :) got a chemical in the first cycle and took a break for two cycles. So kinda cycle #3 or so.
Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Bundaberg84
excuse my ignorance but what is a chemical? I really hope it is a sign but we will just have to wait and see. Not wanting to test too early. Good luck to you too. I have no kids yet and I am 36

@Redhollyberry32 a chemical pregnancy is when the egg is fertilised but fails to implant. They are fairly common and the only way you'd know you'd had one is if you tested early, otherwise, your period would come as normal or a couple of days late.

Best of luck for this month, your symptoms sound promising x
