How long after potential implantation bleed would you test positive ?

[Ttc125]

Hi all. I posted a thread yesterday about a potential implantation bleed but got no response so will try again. I had a baby 3 months ago , and my last period was 4th December I think, irregular cycles usually so unsure when ovulated etc. but since Tuesday (3 days ago) it started with a tiny tiny bit of pink on underwear but then went away and only seen when wiping , like really light . That same day it disappeared for a day ! Then that night it was brown on wipe and now it’s darkish brown on a pad (again very light , not filling a pad) and looks lightish brown when wiping . Am I right in saying brown is old blood after a period ? I’ve never had this before so unsure , I thought I would have came on full flow by now but no sign of red blood in 3 days this has been happening . IF It is an implantation bleed when would u test positive ? All my tests look negative. The day before I started spotting I had stabbing pains in pelvis . Didn’t get positive with my daughter till I was 9 days late and even then was the faintest line . Hoping someone can give me some input ! Thank you :) (ps, I will obviously speak to doctor if I don’t start bleeding soon)

Only symptom I have is reflux and nausea :/

Usually 3 days x

3 days after the bleeding stops @blackpanth ? Or 3 days since it started ?x

3 days after the bleeding started x

ah okay see I’m on day 3 now @blackpanth but test looks negative . Il maybe try hold off if I’m not bleeding heavy x

You only had a baby 3 months ago so your periods might not have normalised yet.
If you have been having unprotected sex then obviously there is always a chance of pregnancy but darkish brown blood sounds more like old blood.

@Olika is old blood not from after a period not before ? I’m not sure how it works . But you’re more than likely right , I had my first period post partum last month and it seemed pretty normal that’s why I’m confused!

My test looked like this exactly a week after implantation bleeding. The sensitivity is 10miu.

@emmatcc1 did u stop bleeding before u tested ? Or was that a week after u finished bleeding ?

@Ttc125 I only had spotting for a couple of hours a week before I tested.

i found out recently that I am pregnant. H and I were trying, but stopped at least a year ago. No chats re contraception, was just of the view we couldn’t.

H was away from 26/27 August. He came home on 26 Nov. I went to the doctor because was experiencing weird symptoms. All flags in hindsight, but it didn’t cross my mind.

doc said I was pregnant. This was all done within the week commencing the 18th December (foggy brain so don’t know exact day right now) I was told I’m around 18 to 19 weeks. But difficult to say because my periods are hugely irregular. Both in times of the month, heavy/low and length (might be 2 days, 5 days, 2 weeks.

H reacted terribly when I shared the news. As in threw the grenade and I’m stuck with the mess. Said he wanted a divorce. Said I’m the last person he would ever want a child with. MIL is literally the most toxic and bullying person I have ever come across. She was threatening me over text messages that she has had enough and telling my parents. I remained firm in I will tell them when they are home and they can talk, and they can experience a lovely holiday with their grandchildren (brothers boys). They live in South Africa, so would receive these in the middle of the night. She thought I was lying and I was scared to tell my parents. In the end I sent a message that was ‘softer, no details etc. I ONLY did this as the only fear I had was what she would say, given her past behaviour.

If I wasn’t so devastated by all this I’d actually have a laugh, as she did message my father a few days later to ‘tell on me’ 😂… and he pretty much said as tactfully as he could that she was interfering, didn’t understand boundaries, and pretty much shut down every assumption she had made. The shock on her face was apparently like a deer in headlights. She couldn’t and didn’t move or speak for like 5 minutes. Just stood there with her eyes wide and mouth open. Wish I could have seen it.

ultimately

1. I am incredibly sad. In spite of what he has said and done
2. That they are questioning paternity (hence dates above). And I can say with confidence that I DID NOT cheat on my husband. I barely left the bloody house!
3. I agreed straight away when there was a question and insinuation on paternity. But it didn’t really hit me that it meant someone or all of them think I’ve been unfaithful. I have not! 100% I’ve not had sex or anything with anyone outside my husband.
4. I do realise my husband has to make a decision on his relationship with his family. I don’t want that woman near me or my child. She is a drunk and a bully.

I feel like I’m going crazy!

is it possible to be pregnant given the dates above? Or did they make a mistake? Obviously I’ll know a little more on the scan I’m having next week.

PLEASE HELP! Any information… I feel like everyone is making these decisions and insinuations about my life, and I’m not being included. I need to be ok for this child. I’m scared I’ll breakdown if this stuff continues.

please help 😥

@Ttc125 I think it's just because of your periods returning after giving birth. I had random spotting when my periods returned. Your test should be positive now based on your last periods.

@ZayM you’re better off starting your own thread

OP it’s likely it’s just your periods settling down after having a baby, it can take a while for things to go back to normal.

Hi @ZayM I hope all okay with you now. How incredibly sad

IMPLANTATION?? Hmmmm ..what was the timeline like for your implantation bleeding if any? When did you test positive? I’m due my period in 4 days but last night and today I have had tiny bits of pink spotting once going to the bathroom. Mild cramps. Is this how implantation was for you?
my boobs/nipples have been sore now for 8 days. I’ve some mad indigestion too. My periods are like clockwork too 28 days. I am 7DPO also.
thank you ! Xx
