Why are we all obsessed with implantation bleeding?

[Shooshybobs]

Lighthearted and myself included, but….
ive been pregnant 6 times (3 kids and 3 losses) and I’ve only ever experienced implantation bleeding in one pregnancy which was around 5 weeks and it was brown discharge for a couple of days
it’s also not as common as we assume but we all hope the smallest hint of blood could be implantation!
I do it myself too when I start pre period spotting but it seems it’s more likely not to happen if you are pregnant

I even do it when my period is starting to just give myself hope it might me implantation. When I know it’s not 😅

Same here, bit of spotting at 9dpo this month and thought oooohhhhhh!

To be fair I've had it with both my second third pregnancy. But both times it was much earlier than my period would normally be so it was quite distinct from a period. And also only a really tiny amount of spotting like you say. If I was spotting around the time a period is due then I'd expect it to be the start of a period.

Anyway, best of luck to those trying at the moment, hope you don't have to wait too much longer!

It's incredibly uncommon.

But such is the nature of TTC, that is, a prolonged period TTC can compromise rationality.

I mean I've seen people post pregnancy tests at 1DPO. Just how it is I guess.
