Darkening hpt but spotting?

[PJS1982]

Hi ladies.
I got my bfp on 9dpo. It's progressively gotten darker. With my chemical pregnancies, the line was always so faint it was barely visible and then they'd be bfn 3 days later. AF would arrive on time. This time, the lines were dark to start with, have gotten progressively darker (this morning was as dark as the control line. test line appeared in the window before the urine even passed over entire thing)

But last night, I had cramping like AF and noticed a very light tan tint to my cm when wiping. The cramps continued and at around midnight, I went to pee and wiped and there was a golf ball sized spot of mauve/pinky/purple on the paper. It tapered off to just pink barely visible spotting over the next hour. Then I had another cramp, went to the bathroom and wiped and it was dark brown sludge which again tapered off to just tan watery spots on the tp. Today, still just tan watery spots and sometimes nothing. No cramps like yesterday. I took an hpt expecting to see the line fading and to my shock, it was so dark as I explained above.

Has anyone experienced a cp like this? I've had several and they are always to the dpo exactly the same. I don't spot either, just negative hpt and a day or two later, bright red AF full flow.

Could this be IB? I'm also on 81mg of baby aspirin as per my OB so was wondering if that could cause heavier spotting from what would otherwise be barely noticable if someone were not on aspirin? Sorry for all the blabbing. After so many losses, you kind of start to just expect the worst


ETA: The pictures are from top to bottom: 9dpo PM, 10dpo afternoon, 11dpo PM, 13dpo AM (today)

I got a BFP on 27Nov. I started spotting on 8Dec and had a scan at 9Dec and there was just a yolk sac and a gestational sac - no fetal pole. Went back a week later and there was a little kidney bean with a little hb. I spotted from 5+3 until 6+5 and it terrified me because I'd had 6 previous losses. I'm going to be 16 weeks tomorrow and everything looks fine so far! The doc assumed my spotting was from the little bugger burrowing deeper in.

Might just be from baby still settling into your uterus!
If you're worried, I'd call your doc!

Thanks, ladies

The spotting stopped a while ago and everything seems A-Ok so far. I'm going for betas Mon and Wed to make sure. Thanks for your responses

They looks great!

If it helps I've spotted, bled, and even hemmorhaged (18w) this time. Right from 5dpo. Still bleeding every single day. I'm 20 weeks now, so it obviously wasn't any indication of a chemical. My hcg levels doubled perfectly as well!

I also spotted red with ds1 at the beginning and bled for a few weeks at the beginning of 2nd tri with ds2 x
