12DPO, Spotting and Cramping?

[Excalibur]

Well as the title says, I am 12DPO today. AF is due on Monday and today I have had some spotting, only a little blob of blood, I got this last time I got my BFP. Also had cramps on and off since about 6/7DPO.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Do you think AF is coming early or could it be late Implantation Bleeding?

I had something happen like that about 3 weeks ago.... Im currently forcing myself to wait a while.... Im just so disapointed every time i see that BFN Id rather just wait to see if AF shows her face.... oh and just to make it more interesting for me.... I dont have a regular AF.... And Ive forced myself to not count the days.... For a couple of weeks now Ive had twinges, cramps and all sorts and well Im waiting lol

Oh just cause I dont really know... what did your Implantation Bleeding look like? What I had ( dont know what it was yet.... ) was bright red blood when i wiped, twice in one day.... each time it was only about the size of a dime/5p coin.... and nothing since....

Fingers crossed for you! If this has been your pattern before, then here's hoping it will be the same this time!

I've had a bit of spotting today (10dpo approx), but it's really thin brownish colour, and before that, it's been pinkish - not really like a period at all. I don't tend to spot before my periods, so this is new to me. Sometimes after, a little, but not before, so I'm hoping that it's something 'different' going on!

emilyanne: I agree that it is definetly disappointing seeing BFN's but I have been testing since 1DPO just for the fun of it so I can safely say I'm used to them I hope your AF stays away for you aswell hun, must be awful having irregular cycles My Implantation Bleeding was just small spots of Pink CM.

RootyBoots: Thank you so much hun I sure hope so!!

Sounds like your Spotting could be Implantation Bleeding aswell! Brown blood is a good sign as it's old Blood and Pink spotting is good as it's not "fresh" blood, if that makes sense?

Fingers crossed for us all Let's see those 's

Honestly I was surprised with the spotting I had the other week.... Well my AF's have been a browny pinky colour for so long now I didnt expect it at all.... It really was bright red, but just a spot... I know BDing can cause spotting but honestly I hadnt done anything for a few days when this happened, so I assumed AF was way early.... as Im not regular I wasnt shocked lol. But two drops and that was it.... I started mild cramping with twinges within 24 hours of the spotting.... and other symptoms have been popping up since.... I really do hope soooo much for all of us to get that BFP.....

emilyanne: It sounds like Implantation Bleeding to me. I was cramping from about 6/7 DPO but only experienced the Spotting as from this afternoon. The cramping was on and off but when I noticed the spotting, it got worse but has since eased off for the time being.

Excalibur, Ive been and done sooo many many tests and always had that nasty BFN show up.... been trying for over 2 and a half years now.... Im getting to that point where if Im not I will be seeing the dr sometime soon.... I just hate that BFN sooooo much....

 

[emilyanne]

Ya that cramping is weird.... It hasnt stopped since it first started.... but it changes.... sounds weird saying that but it does.... its not painful, altho the twinges can make me jump a bit, but its almost like a gentle throbing one minute, then almost like a buzzing feeling lol. Its weird lol

emilyanne: I know what you mean about the cramping changing etc. I was going to suggest having a word with your doctor. See if you can go and see a Fertility Specialist for some advice etc. Hope things work out for you hun

 

[emilyanne]

Thanks hun, I know I will if this turns out how I think it will.... I know I hope its the real deal but after so many BFN I think you just start expecting them.... I just want to leave this another week or two and if theres no AF I will be forcing my DB to the shops to get yet another test lol. By that point if I am indeed pregnant there is no way that it wouldnt show on a test lol. And then either way ill be off to see the dr lol.

 

[Excalibur]

I hope this doesn't sound bad but..after all the BFN's you have seen, it will be a nice surprise to finally see a BFP! It should definetly show up on a HPT by that point lol! I wish you all the best hun and keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[emilyanne]

Thanks hun
