Signs of period starting 5 days early?

[temporaryname2015]

Hi all

I hope you dont mind me asking this question. I have been off the pill since october and have been activly ttc. This month however i havnt been actitvly ttc as i am stressed due to moving and after 2 cycles in a row of being convinced i was pregnant and testing, i needed to rest my head for a month or so, which is why i didnt post on the conceptions board. I dont want to get caught up in the whole ttc frenzy again.

I usally ovulate around day 14 of my cycle ( going by previous opk ). This month I belive i i ovulated around the 12th as i had some ovulation pain, although i know this isnt definitive. From what i can remember we dtd outside of my fertile window.
When i come off the pill i luckily fell back into my 28 day cycle this contuined until last month where i had a 27 day cycle so af arrived one day early which happend last year when i was ttc just before i fell pregnant and unfortunatly misscarried ( chemical pregnancy at 5 weeks).

I am due around the 29th and up until yesterday evening i have had no signs of coming on. Yesterday evening i wiped and found a pinky/ brown discharge which after one wipe dissapeared ( sorry if tmi) there is nothing there now . My cycle has varied a day before but i have never been 5 days early or shown signs of starting af in regards to having a show. It did cross my mind it could be implantation bleeding as i havnt used protection.

Im thinking its wishful thinking and although the chances of me starting that early are low theres much less a chance its implantation bleeding espically as if i did ovulate around the 12th march as it would be too late for implantation surely'?. I have the lack of sore boobs this month which have been part of the reason i have tested two months in a row .

I do have the tell tale stomach ache that looks like its af arriving although light and had some light backache yesterday evening after i wiped, which currently has passed.

Has anyone else experienced this then go on to find out there pregnant?

I know the obvious answer is to test but with two months dissapointment and a previous chemical pregnancy i am wary of testing. I meant to post this last night but feel asleep as i have a rotten cold.

Many thanks for any advice xx

Sorry didnt mean that to be so long just tried to include as much details possible for most objective advice. Xx

sorry, i didn't have this, but i didn't want to read and run. i was, however, convinced AF was on its way, as i had sore boobs and cramps, but then nothing happened! also it can take a few days to implant sometimes.

i think all you can do is keep your fingers crossed until AF is due and then test. hope you get the BFP you want x

Could be an implantation bleed. I had one, with a previous pregnancy, on the day AF was due, so they can be lateish. I think 6-10 days after conception is standard, which would be about right for you? Period-like cramping is also an early pregnancy symptom.

However, it's all speculation until you get that test result. I understand you not wanting to obsess. If you can bear it, I'd wait until the 29th to test, as even with FirstResponse the result at this point won't be hugely accurate and you'll still spend the next few days wondering what's going on

Hope it's a nice surprise.

Ive been ttc and a week ago i started with dull aches sore boobs .. everything you explainned nd i never ever had this before my af .. but for me ive just got af today and it is so disappointing! i really thought i was pregnant.. i really really do hope you are.. goodluck doll x x

Hello Ladies
thankyou so much for your kind replys xx i was debating buying a test today as i have a medical thing to attend tommorow so it would be best for me too know.

Af started this afternoon followed by the usal pain i suffer each month. So this month its been a 25 day cycle . I usally get sore achy boobs in the run up to af i have had nothing this month. I suppose as its a shorter cycle the hormones didnt have as much time to build up or something. Its all very odd .
