Could I be pregnant

Hi all 4 month TTC. This month I thought it was my month (like we all do) anyway I have regular cycles 29 days.
My period was due on Thursday 18th Feb but didn’t arrive, I did a test Friday morning and it was negative.
Had no signs of usual AF. Anyway on Sunday 21st it arrived. How’ ever it was not a full period, it was not red blood and only brown spotting, lasted till Tuesday. Was more of it when a wiped and little bits in a pad sorry tmi but no red. nothing like a normal period.
Could I still be pregnant or am I wishful thinking. Not a done another test yet, got loads of camping today and little like twinges.
Anyone have anything similar and go on to be pregnant?

You need to do another test. I've had that kind of bleeding and not been PG (anovulatory cycle) but for others it could be implantation bleeding. No way to know unfortunately.

Thank you for your reply!
I’ve never had it before, always have normal period which is lots of blood. But I no our bodies can be different each month! Why do they always do this like this when we are ttc! Will pluck up courage to test again. If it was IB would it be too early to test?

I had very similar bleeding which turned out to be implantation bleeding with my son. I thought my period was going to come but it didn't and tested after it stopped and got a positive. Good luck!

If it's brown, then it's old blood, so no, it wouldn't be too early.

Implantation bleeding can appear as brown blood up to around 7 weeks pregnant.

I had a positive test 4 days after this kind of bleeding stopped. Maybe you just ovulated later than normal? I would not rule it out yet, but also not get too excited.

I recently got my BFP and my first sign was the weird twinges sort of sharp cramps about 12dpo!

They felt very different to period cramps for me. No other symptoms other than sore boobs didn't disappear as normal, but the twinges sounds like a good sign 🤞 fingers crossed Hun x

Sorry to jump on the post!

I’m in a similar situation. Had a positive test on Friday night (couldn’t have been an evap line as it appeared straight away?), then yesterday morning tested again when urine is stronger but had 2 negative tests (different brands). Then I had what I believe to be an implantation bleed yesterday and light cramps, tested again today and still negative! Do I keep testing?
