Bleeding during 2ww

[tonibzac]

Help

I started brown spotting 3 dpo and haven't stopped. I'm now 7dpo and when I go to the loo I get very dark red blood with little lumps of lining in it. I've had to put a pad in as it is staining my pants. It's about a teaspoon amount each time I pee.

I've got my 7dpo bloods booked today anyway so going to see if I can have a chat with my GP. Is it too early for blood test to show if I'm pregnant? Stupidly googled and am paranoid about ectopic or chemical

Any ideas or advice much appreciated!!!xxx

I think it is possible for pregnancy to show in a blood test this early if you implanted early, how did you get on?

Thanks for the reply
GP not concerned by bleeding as I've got very little cramps survived another needle woop!! Results should be back wed-thu next week after bank hol so here's hoping AF doesn't show!

It's completely brown blood now with the occasional blob of squidgy stuff (lining?) of course I'm convinced it's bubba nestling in see what temp does!

If it's af your temp should come down - any developments there?
I always get brown 'spotting' running up to af, but not usually that soon - although it depends on the length of your LP I guess. Mine can be anywhere between 6 and 9 days before af. Hope it's bubba!

My temp is always its highest CD 1 and 2!! I have a bizarre body!!
I normally spot from CD10 the AF arrives CD 12-14.
Still got brown spotting, having to wear a sanitary pad, it's enough to mark the pad but it doesn't soak through. Soooo bizarre!!!!

Fingers crossed it's implantation! i've seen a few threads on here where people have implanted early and i can't think what else it could be
i'm glad the doctor put your mind at rest regarding the possibility of ectopic/chemical, i didn't bleed until 6 weeks with my ectopic and it wasn't enough to use a liner. When are you thinking of testing?
I had my progesterone bloods taken a few days ago too although my 7dpo fell on xmas day so i had to have mine a couple of days later i really didn't want to wait til jan though and GP said it should be fine....ah well see what happens!

Good luck with your temps! keep us posted

Ooh your temp dropped?? maybe an implantation dip?
Had to ride the horses in white trousers for my lesson today so put a regular tampon in, will see what it's like later. Really think AF is just round the corner, this has been a screwy cycle!!!

I'm so hoping its your BFP xx

 

[tonibzac]

Thanks ladies I really am convinced it's just some weird thing that is building up to AF, I reckon she'll be here in the next couple of days

 

[Catlover28]

Fx'd it's IB, when are you going to test? i'm guessing your 9dpo today i'm 14dpo and have been testing since 10dpo but all BFNs, i wish af would just hurry up and come so i can get on with trying to make a 2012 baby
gl and keep us posted

Was adamant AF arrived earlier as had red blood when I peed so put a tampon in but hours later there is barely anything there so she hasn't arrived YET!

Had a sharp pain on my right side earlier lasted about a minute. I'm 9-10 dpo, AF is usually in full swing 12-14 dpo so if she doesn't show (unlikely) i'll prob test Fri/Sat but I hate getting BFNs so will wait until I'm sure.

Annoyed if she shows because we did really well with this cycle not sure how much more heartbreak we can take!

 

[Catlover28]

I've heard that IB can range from a few spots to what seemed like a full blown period, i usually spot before af but it just tends to last a couple of days and not at 3dpo, that seems too early to be af spotting so fx'd it's IB for you!

I'll wait it out with ya. My period was due 2 days ago but I've been spotting brown for 5 days. I spotted red yesterday so shoved in a tampon but it came out almost completely dry. Had sex this morning, had some brown spotting after but that's it.

I spot sooo often before my periods that I'm sure it'll come but I'm like you, we just did so awesome with BDing that it'd be nice if it wasn't my period.

Good luck! Keep us posted.

Oooh wonderstars thank you, I was beginning to feel like a weirdo because no one seems to ever have this!

Thank you so much for all your replies ladies

I think my boobs are on and of tingly but I'm not sure if I'm just going OTT with the symptom spotting, not sure I'd notice if i wasn't looking x

 

[wonderstars]

More pink spotting but only if I put a finger up there. Having some cramping so things aren't looking good. In the past 16 months I've only had 2 instances where my cycles have been longer than 25 days with a really weird pattern. Makes me wonder if I am getting pregnant but my progesterone isn't high enough to sustain the pregnancy - I still think my CD21 results mean nothing. I hope my Gyne gives me a few rounds of clomid while I wait for a FS appt. I'm hoping a stronger ovulation will solve the problem. Blah!

A big F-U to spotting.

 

[tonibzac]

with you on that!!

I stopped temping when I reached the 8th month mark, haha. Wasn't doing much. I've been googling late periods after HSG and it seems quite common. Mine was much more invasive so I'm guessing that's it but still, so freakin' frustrating. I just want to call for my appointment to start clomid and get a referral to a fertility specialist. I'm also starting the South Beach diet. I haven't exercised because I was stupidly hoping it was implantation bleeding and didn't want to disrupt it.

Getting an HPT tomorrow to kill my hopes so I move on with life.

Wonderstars- your BFP may not be that far away, seeing as you had the op in Dece,mber. That's what lies ahead for me in April if status quo. What was the procedure & anesthetic like???

 

[wonderstars]

Bah, AF hit like a speeding train this morning. I'm suspecting I had tons of swelling in my tubes/cervix resulting in the spotting/pains.

The procedure itself is very much like the HSG except they insert the catheter right up to the uterus-tube junction and shoot the dye. This gives higher pressure. With the selective there is also a guidewire that they can thread through the original catheter to clear any blockages. Only blockages at the uterine opening, unfortunately. They give sedation, enough to numb the pain but still let you answer their questions and understand what's going on. They gave me versed and fentanyl (as a nurse I was shocked at the drugs they were giving but was sooooo happy after that they did).

I'm hesitant to give my experience about pain with both my HSG and this Selective HSG only because my anatomy is the cause of all my pains and it's something very different to what most people experience. THe procedure is very cool - even though this is the first time in a decade or more I can recall not having my period +/- 2 days!

Sorry she got you hun but at least you can move on from 2ww limbo.

I'm still sporting but no AF. I'm 11-12dpo today and SWEAR I have twinges in my boobs but probably cos I keep poking them felt a bit nauseous today but had an awful night's sleep with that wind normally start spotting before AF do expect she will be here by Fri/sat but even though I KNOW she is coming I still get thoughts of testing what is wrong with me??!!
