Implantation bleeding or AF?

[lynn1216]

Hey! congrats hun!
im so happy for you!!

but im in the same boat kinda lol
tell me if this sounds like you a little bit!
first off, i ended birth control Oct 2011 and i havent had a period since so i have been unpatiently waiting for 8 months for AF to show up so we can officially start TTC
well yesterday morning i got up and wiped and it had brownish light kinda watery blood! and i was excited because i thought it was the start of AF
well i checked again later that day and again it was only when i wiped but it was like a pinkish watery bleed, so i was like okay AF is just starting
well after that it stopped!
it wasnt even enough for a pad and it didnt even last 6 hrs
im so confused as to whether its implantation and we just magically caught it or what?

any advice ladies!

I have heard a lot of people catchin their first cycle after BC (sorry you had to wait for so long before that!) opefully this is what happened you you, and not just a dodgy cycle to get you kick started. I suppose even if it is that, at least you are getting back on track! Have you been to doc's about not getting period yet??

 

[lynn1216]

no i havent :/
kinda avoiding it! i hate the dr honestly haha
i guess i never thought about it until one of my friends on here mentioned it, but now implantion bleeding makes sense

mrsfoster, when are you testing? maybe we can test together

hi
I am experiencing v light brownish discharge on day 23 of my cycle n my cycle is usually 28-30 days ...

Hi girls,

Lynn, it's really hard to tell because it does sound like it could be implantation but then again coming off the pill affects everyone in different ways; for some women it can take a whole year for her cycle to get back to normal and for others it can get back to normal straight away. I had the contraceptive Implant in my arm last year but had to take it out because I was having really weird side affects (as if I were pregnant, my body was being tricked by the progesterone to make me think I'm pregnant, so I didn't have a period); I had it removed a couple days before my period was due and by chance my period started when it was supposed to (this doesn't happen for everyone, I was really lucky).
I guess you won't be able to tell until you get a positive HPT or maybe visit your GP (doctor) :S all the best though Lynn, FX you get the result you want and lots of baby dust

Yes tulip it is possible that you could be experiencing Implatation Bleeding.

Mum 2 Quigley and Toms Mummy, I'm a bit confused right now, I'v been poas on FR 3 days in a row and they have all been faint positives except one test which was the asda test that was a bit darker and I thought that the line getting darker meant that the HCG was rising but now when I take the asda tests the lines are getting lighter again, I also poas on a clearblue digi today (did 2 of them) the first one didn't work!! (was so frustrated) and the second one came out not pregnant, but when I opened up the test, the lines were a lot darker than they were when I did the test and I wasn't pregnant.. I am now 20 dpo and starting to think that maybe I'm not pregnant but I am still getting these weird tingling sensations and aching feelings in my breasts and the stretchy tight feeling in my uterus area...
Do you have any idea of what could be going on :S ???

 

[Zahraa179]

Toms Mummy I actually heard that some women have had implantation bleeding lasting up to 7 days or the usual amount of time that they would have their period but the bleeding would be aloooot lighter... So there is still hope... Don't give up yet, some women don't have their confirmation untill 6-8 weeks preggers! But I really hope you don't have to wait that long when we can barely stand the 2WW! lol BABY DUST!!! FX and Hoping for the best!

Tricky one... not too sure. Maybe your hormones aren't very strong yet so won't be picked up on the digi? I wouldn't get too worried yet, maybe just keep testing to confirm positive.
You haven't had any bleeding with severe cramps have you? If so, get the your GP and get checked out, if not, maybe just try to relax, take care of yourself & make an appointment to get a blood test to confirm pregnancy?

fingers crossed for you. Hopefully it's just faulty tests and nothing to worry about!!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Right, I think I'm out .. The spotting I had on dpo10-13 I think was just my af early ... I am dpo15 today and since the spotting I've had no cramping, or sore bb's and another bfn this morning

I'm not actively trying so I won't be back in here ow... goodluck to everyone and babydust x

 

[mrsfoster]

Well I tested today and I knew I shouldn't of but I just couldn't wait I knew it was to early...of course BFN, I am 7 DPO I think...how soon after O should you test? I used a cheapy Walmart brand then read on the back "use after missed period" Maybe I should get a FRER????

 

[Zahraa179]

Mum 2 Quigley, no I haven't had any severe cramping or bleeding, it's now 21 dpo and did a test this morning and was still very faint/faint... I'm gonna wait a week and then do a digi. I have an appointment for next friday to have a blood test and scan done so FX everything goes well and it's the news I wanna hear :S

mrsfoster 7dpo is way to early, it's only something like 20% or less of pregnant women that get a positive that early. You should wait till 14-16 dpo to do your first test and even then it's only an 70% chance that you will get a positive, most women wait until they have completely missed their period to be sure that pregnancy is a posibility and at that time it is a 99% chance of getting a positive and if you are of the 1% of women that have to wait even up till 3 months pregnant to get a positive then that's terrible but don't give up hope; remember you're only 7dpo!!! And sometimes women get their ovulation dates wrong too...

 

[Zahraa179]

I am 21 dpo and would have been my last day of my period and my tests are still really faint and not getting any darker I really hate this

 

[tulip11]

hi
as I have mentioned yesterday that I had brownish lil discharge on day 23rd but today I am having just severe backache n there is nothing else on day 24th ( today ) so still confused ...

 

[Zahraa179]

Hi tulip11,

keep testing or go to the doctors and have a blood test done for hcg beta.

 

[Zahraa179]

dunno if you can see this pic, it's from 20 dpo with fmu, what do you think?

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Zahrra - how annoying not knowing! It still looks positive to me, all you can dop is keep playing the waiting game! It's very faint, but I can see it clearly without squinting and turning my computer upside down. lol

 

[tulip11]
