Could this be implantation bleeding?*Warning: Graphic pic included!

[katiemae7031]

I had pink ewcm with red flecks in it? Can implantation bleeding be reddish like this and not brown??? I went to the bathroom and I was shocked to see it when I wiped! I wiped a couple more times, and it got lighter each time. By the 3rd wipe it was completely gone. Now nothing. No bleeding or anything. I'm hopeful that it's IB! If you think it couldn't because it's kinda reddish, then what else could it be? What was your implantation bleeding like?

Where in your cycle are you?

 

[pipsbabybean]

I'm sure I've read people say about this before, just as uve pictured hun, where in ur cycle r u?

How many dpo?

I have no idea where I am in my cycle. I skipped AF (was due jan 20). I have pcos and I can be irregular at times. If I go by cm, then I think I'm 9 dpo. I actually had ewcm on the 13th. And a lot of it too. I actually posted a question on here in the 2ww forum with a pic of it. It was super fertile cm. But again, I can't be 100%. This cycle has been really weird and unpredictable.

Its possible then! If nothing else at all since its very promising IMO

Could there possibly be any other explanation for cm that looks like this? Bloody cm just once?? It's soooo hard not to try and get my hopes up. I'm trying to debunk it the best I can that way I don't get disappointed if I get another bfn :/ I just don't know what else it could be.

Well, I have a new question now. I think I have woken up this morning with a minor yeast infection. I've never had one before so I don't really know what to look for...but I am kinda itchy/burning down below. I don't have any of the discharge that's associated with yeast infections, but I made dh go out and get me some monistat this morning lol. I wanted to nip it in the butt before it got bad just in case that's what it is. So, could the onset of a yeast infection cause spotting like that? Thanks loves!

May you was oing

Don't mean to get your hopes up or anything, but I've read up on a yeast infection being a sign of pregnancy (cause I had one about a week ago) and there were quite a lot of people that had a (or their first) yeast infection the cycle they were pregnant (like around 4 dpo or something).
BUT it might not mean anything, cause yeast infections are usually caused by a hormonal imbalance.

Many women get spotting (very light, as you described) during an anovulatory cycle. You said you missed your Jan period, so this is my guess. I am not a doctor, however, and can't be sure, so just keep tracking when things happen!
