Is this implantation bleeding?

Hi all, I’m looking for a bit of advice about implantation. I’m obsessively googling and it’s not helping, but hopefully a few of you have had experiences of implantation/implantation bleeding and can help.

I usually have 28-32 day cycles, however this month I’m sure I ovulated around CD25/CD26, so pretty late in my cycle. I had ewcm, slight cramping, and my OPK tests became very very dark (I’m only able to test once a day due to work so I think I probably just missed the peak).

CD28 was 24th May and af didn’t arrive, which I didn’t think much of because my cycles can be up to 32 days long. On Sunday (CD32) I did a test which was negative, and later in the day I had some very light, watery and pale red blood when I wiped. I thought it was the start of my period so put on a pad. Af didn’t come. For a couple of days I had very light, watery brown bleeding which was barely visible on the pad, and only really showed when I went to the loo. as of today, all the bleeding has completely stopped.

I don’t know much about implantation but is it possible that, because of a late ovulation, it’s happening now? Should a test on Sunday have picked it up, or would that have technically still been too early based on ovulation? For reference I’ve had a migraine and mild cramping too. If I ovulated when I think I did, im technically 9DPO today.

I’ve been ttc for 8 months and I don’t think I can bear another negative test :( do I wait, or see the doctor, or test again?

i appreciate any responses as this feels like such a lonely and worrying time. Even if you share your experience of implantation (If you noticed anything) that would really help.

If you ovulate late and are now approximately 9dpo, it could very well be implantation. A test won't show positive until after implantation. I would perhaps test again in 2 days with FMU if AF hasn't come

Thank you so much for your reply @BudgetBuster - I’ll give it until the weekend to see if af rears her ugly head. I wish it was more straightforward!

Update?

@Ceendee AF arrived on 1st June, so my cycle was 35/36 days long in total.

ive started taking proceive and I have a progesterone test later this month (which I think is almost impossible for me to do since my cycle varies in length) but we’ll see.

hopefully this is my month!

Hopefully fingers crossed, but have you experienced spotting before outside of your monthly period?

Fifii · 11/06/2023 16:44

@Ceendee typically no, but February, April and May this year I did, which is strange.

Omg I’m so confused as that’s my situation right now. AF is due Tuesday and I’m 11dpo today + negative tests 😭 this wait is killing me. Thanks you so much momma I pray this month works for you 🤞

Fifii · 11/06/2023 17:16

@Ceendee oh bless you, I know the wait is so hard. Have you been spotting for long? I’ve heard that most tests are negative until implantation bleeding stops.

thank you 💕 hope you get your bfp in a few days!

spotted dusty brown on CD 25 3days afterwards I had cm mixed with old blood I think cos it appeared like creamy light brown, period is expected 2days from today. I’m so hopeful 😔

@Ceendee how did it go? X
