Hi, everyone! I'm new here and looking for some advice..
To give you a little background on the situation:
My boyfriend and I are 21 and have been together for over three years now. I would consider us NTNP, though we do use the pullout method. So maybe we lean a little more towards not trying. We've talked about it and we both want one very much. We both work full time and make good money. He looks at it as, "when it happens, it happens." I, however, am dying to be a mother. Strong case of baby fever for going on 10 months now, lol.. But I'm obviously respecting that he isn't 100% ready yet, though every day I can tell he gets a little closer to letting it happen.

Okay, so now that the background is somewhat out of the way..
I have a period tracker app downloaded on my phone, and I've used it religiously since October of 2014. So my cycles have been documented for a long time now. I've been getting my period since I was 10 years old.. Yikes! My cycle is super regular.. It's like clockwork. Starts on the exact day it's predicted to, every time

Well, I'm due for AF on 4/24. On 4/14 I was bleeding a bit. No cramps, no discomfort, just blood. It started out pinkish red and then was more of a pinkish/reddish brown.. Went on for a few hours and stopped. Happened again the next day, except it was even lighter than the day before. Again for just a few hours. Then yesterday, it was just all light brown, not much there.. Then today, 4/17, there is nothing. I've had my period for 11 years now and this has never happened before.. I am almost certain it wasn't just an early period, because I always have horrendous periods. I normally get cramps so intense that I end up throwing up.. But with this, there were no cramps whatsoever. No pain. Nothing.
So I am very confused. Does it mean anything? Could it be IB? Or are the chances of that slim? I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up, because I will feel silly if I am not actually pregnant. I keep telling myself I'm not, because I don't feel any different at all. But then there was this mysterious bleeding.. Please give me opinions, I am driving myself crazy!
Lol thanks for reading!
 
I had a mystery bleed that lasted several months, when I was 16

So they DO happen, but I never had IB with LO. If you know your avg resting HR, if it consistently measures higher could be an indication. Of course you can take HPT or do bloods :thumbup:
 
If you havn't yet, and it was IB, you should be able to test and get a postive now.

It sounds like what I've read described as IB, but it could also just be a random breakthrough bleeding
