Implantation?

I've been tracking everything this month. I mean everything.

Ovulated a couple of days earlier than I expected at CD12 and DTD that day and the 2 days following.

I had read online about PdG tests so went and bought some from Amazon to confirm ovulation. They were all positive when I took them at 7-10 dpo. So that's good news it does seem that everything is working as it should... in theory.

It's so easy to become obsessed with poas etc I've been driving myself mad with it since 7dpo which I know myself is far too early.

Anyway at 11dpo (cd23) I went to the loo and discovered I was bleeding, dark red. Totally unexpected this lasted for a few hours... only when wiping really and not the same as a period. It's since changed to brown. Could this be implantation? Is it too late for that? Am I just driving myself mad. I hate this 2ww you think you've done everything you could possibly do... there's no reason for it not to work but here you are. I've had a few chemicals in the past and made it as far as 5w1d last December. I also have a 6yo dd so I should know what I'm doing by now eh? 😂🙈🙈

Hello @LilyCat43 . I won't be much help to you. But I am in a similar situation. Started spotting at 8dpo late in the evening. Had some red at the start. Yesterday it was all brown. And today it's barely there but still brown.
I have also been having quite a lot of cramping. Have you? And yesterday I had this really painful feeling like someone was poking hard in a particular spot in my pelvic area. All that cramping has stopped today.
I hope for both of us that it is in fact implantation bleeding.
I am toying with the idea of testing. But don't want to be dissappinred. Which my son I didn't test positive until 3 days after my missed period. And technically I am now still 3 days away from when I normally start my period

I have been having quite a bit and been quite gassy. I have ibs though so that's not totally unusual for me unfortunately.

I'm cd24 now I reckon so think I'd have seen something by now if it was going to happen. As for the bleeding then... who knows

I bled throughout my pregnancy and my baby is completely fine xx

@LilyCat43 There certainly seems to be smthg at the top. But I can't quite see the rest of the line. I hope you get a stronger bfp soon

I did look for some tests in my lunch break but could only find ones you can take after your missed period. Just ordered some on amazon but won't get those until Thursday. Probably a good thing.

Are you still spotting @LilyCat43 ? Is it still brown?
I started spotting a bit more in the afternoon and more dark red. Then it stopped again. So I really don't know what my body is doing. I am super bloated too.

Interesting to hear you bled throughout your pregnancy @Idrileena and good to hear it went well for you. Thanks for sharing

Am thinking it's indent rather than anything else... will try and hold off and see. Am still wiping dark brown just so I've no idea what's going on either. So frustrating isn't it.

Fingers crossed for us both.

Super frustrating. Fingers Xed for us both

Good morning @LilyCat43 . How are you doing today?
So my spotting has disappeared for now. Nothing when I wipe.
So somehow even more confused now. Don't know if it was a withdrawal bleed from an unovulatary cycke, implantation bleeding or the start of AF and she will hit me harder later on.
Think I will test when my pregnancy tests arrive.

FigandHoney · 20/09/2023 18:21

Well the cheap easy@home test strips I ordered from amazon were on the doorstep when I arrived. So I cracked and did a rest. Starck negative. So not going to bother with the clear blue digital I got today in town.
Not sure if I should mention the fact I spotted for a week before AF to my GP. This has never happened before.
Anyone know what other reasons there might be for spotting like that?

I'm still bleeding so I think I am definitely out. Sorry I disappeared for some reason I didn't see the update notifications.

The only thing I could think of for the bleeding so early was maybe it was a failed attempt at implantation? Is that a thing?? I definitely ovulated according to these Proov tests I bought but who knows. Onto the next cycle I suppose. I'm going to start my Clearblue fertility monitor next month.

@LilyCat43 Sorry you feel your out. Has AF arrived full flow now then? I am still spotting on and off. AF due on Saturday.
I did wonder if it's possible to have an early Chemical Pregnancy as you said.
Or if in my case it's an unovulatary cycle because I didn't start temping before ovulation

It's not full on just yet or doesn't seem to be anyway. I'm going to New York on Tuesday so no doubt it'll hang about and wait for that 🙈 tests all still negative, still lots of dark brown discharge. Much more than implantation I've had previously Xx
