Implantation or af?

[Beccylou94]

Apologies for the graphic image but is this too heavy to be implantation bleeding? I'm only 11dpo, this is across a 12 hour period - I only put a pad in just in case as there was a pink tinge when I wiped and haven't had chance to get to the loo at work

Not too much

Honestly @Outliers this isn't the first time you've posted and annoyed or upset me. Can you just refrain from it in future. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. There is enough stress associated with ttc without idiots like you

It's not my intention to be offensive, just being honest.

Even an expert fertility doctor will not be able to tell what sort of bleed that is. There a long list of things that can cause spotting beyond periods and implantation.

Be kind to yourself and take a HCG test closer to your period due date. Good luck

It wasn't your intention when you said "it's hard to deny we've descended to a level of madness". If that's no offensive I don't know what is. Offensive to myself, offensive to anyone calling them mad in a crazy way. No one on here knows anything for sure, so shall we just shut down the conception thread completely? Do me a favour, if you see my name anywhere on this site again just walk away

@Outliers I think it’s good to have threads like this to get some knowledge from other peoples personal experiences. Internet says implantation bleeding is very light pink spotting for a day or two which is completely not true. Mumsnet is full of people asking for someones opinion when the only true answer is the test or doctor and that’s also the point of this forum. If you have nothing helpful to say then don’t post anything.

There's a greater degree of certainty of various matters pertaining to conception outside of this; but fair enough. Good luck on your journey

If even a fertility doctor could not distinguish the root cause of a vaginal bleed then what you're saying is patently false.

And this site remains a public and open forum

Thank you @emmatcc1 that makes me feel like I'm not an idiot ❤️

@Beccylou94 netmums was a big help to me on implantation bleeding. There’s a bunch of threads about heavy implantation bleeding.

Not sure if it’s helpful but I bled like this after sex when I was pregnant with my first.

I also have had a little of it this month and got a faint positive this morning.

@ELJ1502 that is helpful thank you. I have hada bfn this morning before I saw this pad. Will see what tomorrow brings. Don't want to keep testing if it is af, which is why I asked on here

Personally my implantation bleeding was just a little bit of blood. I would take it day by day and perhaps test again in 5-7 days time to see it still shows pregnant. Good luck!

@Beccylou94 how are you doing today? I’m leaning toward mine being just a very odd af. Maybe a possible chemical.

@emmatcc1 bled all day today heavier so I think it is af :( thanks for checking in
