a bit confused!

[ttc21]

My last real period was from jan 18th to the 22nd and im normally on a 28 to 29 day cycle. My period was suppose to start the 15th to the 16th. I have always had a decent flow to go through multiple tampons in the day but on the 12th to the 15th i started spotting off and on a few hours at a time, a light pinkish to light brown color and occasionally bright red when i wiped and only had to use 1 or 2 tampons a day. Could i consider that my period or what could it be ?

We are on about the same timeline. My lmp was the 17th of January and I was supposed to get AF on Friday the 14th this month, but got nothing until Sunday I had some spotting only when I wiped. I always have a fairly heavy flow. I put in a tampon and took it out about 4 hours later and there was nothing on it and today I have had no bleeding at all!

 

[ttc21]

It weird! Im reallu considering implantation bleeding but idk if it would be that close to my period being due. Ive read so much on it that it confuses me!

 

[mcwhmm]

Me too! Only in my case, I think it may be too late for implantation bleeding.. But I am never late! I have been googling like crazy and all I am doing I'm afraid is getting my hopes up!

 

[ttc21]

Ive read that it can happen anywhere from 2 to 7 days before your period and on some occasions on the days your do for af. And yeah me too! Ive had baby fever so bad i think im being delusional sometimes about it.

 

[mcwhmm]

Me too! I think I have peed about 5 times today and every time I am expecting to have gotten AF and every time there is nothing there now!

 

[ttc21]

That kinda how i was except i was lightly bleeding but i kept expecting it to get heavier but never did.

 

[mcwhmm]

Have you tried a test?

 

[ttc21]

Not yet! I bought one but everything says to wait 4 to 5 days after it happens so i think i should wait a couple days.. im getting impatient though

 

[mcwhmm]

I took one on Wednesday and it was negative.. but I'm so tempted to buy some tonight and take one in the morning.. but I know I will probably break down and take it tonight and it will be neg

 

[ttc21]

Wait til morning to buy it haha

 

[ttc21]

It being negative is why im waiting. I dont want it to be.

 

[mcwhmm]

I'm trying to hold out! You have more will power than me!

 

[ttc21]

Im sorry! Its hard!

 

[mcwhmm]

keep me updated

 

[ttc21]

Same to you! Good luck
