Implantation bleeding *pic included*

[Ttc2025]

Warning pic included

ttc baby 2 , first cycle trying , period's due on the 30th , pinkish discharge and cramping on day 8+9 dpo. Is this just period starting early or could it be implantation bleeding ? When’s too soon to test , didn’t get a positive till 1 day of missed period last time.

Bump

Best time to test will always be when period is due or late. 12DPO maybe for the impatient.

Is this just period starting early or could it be implantation bleeding ?

In reality no one will be able to tell from the picture, there are causes of bleeds outside of implantation and menstruation.

Implantation is arguably sensationalised. Most women don't experience it, and most those that do don't even it notice as it's so tiny.

Good luck for test day

Update:
period due 28th/30th of June and still no sign , negative tests with fmu, am I just late ?
last pregnancy tested day of missed period and got a very faint line with a clear blue 6 days early (which was negative 3 days before) and a faint line on same test 3 days after missed period, never got dark.
using regular clear blue this time not the sensitive one.
am I out this cycle 😢
