Age 38 had what seemed like implantation, then had red blood, then faint BFP

I'm 38 years old and have not had any kids yet but I'm TTC.

In december 2015 I suffered a miscarriage at 6 weeks. I had just come off Mirena, so I figured I had hormone issues because of the IUD.

Around the end of march early june, I think I ovulated, then on saturday, the 11th, I had what I thought was implantation spotting. I was heartbroken when on sunday I saw red blood. It was enough to fill a pad, but only lasted for about a day, then it turned brown again. I figured it was my period.

I started feeling tender breasts, fatigue and some nausea, which is rare, so I tested just in case, and on 18 and 19 june I got a very faint BFP. Then I tested with a different brand a day later and got a BFN.

I don't feel the breast tenderness anymore, but I also haven't gotten a real period.

My period was due on 14 june. It's been 6 months since I came off the Mirena, so I don't know that I still have those hormone issues. I am praying so much that I am pregnant, I've never wanted anything more than to have this baby.

It's silly to ask here if I could be pregnant, for only time will tell. Some say that there are women who have to wait two weeks after their period was due for their HCG levels to come up on an HPT.

Nothing left but to wait a few more days to test and see. Has this happened to anyone else?

Also, my BBT has been up high since that implantation/period moment. I would love to know if this has happened to others and what the results were.

- False positive
- Chemical pregnancy (no period yet)
- Miscarriage (no period yet)

Hi Izzy, don't want to get your hopes up, but the exact same thing happened to me last weekend!

Wednesday 15th June I had wicked cramps - felt super hopeful it was implantation!

Saturday 18 June woke up to proper AF like bleeding. I was so upset, put a tampon in and went about my business.
Later that day I changed and was supposed by how little I was bleeding (sorry to be tmi) but it was bloody but not like usual IYKWIM. I also realised that I have no cramps, and that if it wasn't for changing tampons this AF was a joy!

Sunday 19th - by afternoon I was only spotting, and was now wearing pads. By the evening I stopped. Thought wth?

Early hours of Monday 20th thought I'd take a test and got a faint positive FRER! That afternoon I started spotting bright red again which really worried me.

Yesterday I did a digi and also got Pregnant 1-2 weeks. Did another FRER today and it was a dark positive.

I have a thread on the 1st trimester - https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/p...low-hcg-levels-because-late-implantation.html

I don't know what the outcome will be, but I find out it my 2nd bloods have doubled later this evening. I would suggest maybe going to your GP and request bloods done? I really hope this works out for you and you get your answers too. By the way I'm 37 and this'll be my 4th (1 success when I was 34, 2 unsuccessful in my 20s) X
