Is 4dpo too early for implantation bleeding?

[hanfromman]

Hi!!
Yesterday I had a teeny amount of blood when I wiped, literally just a small drop. Since then I have also had very localised twinges/cramps which I've never experienced before - not at all like pre-AF cramps, which I don't usually get until about a week after OV anyway. These twinges/cramps are most noticeable when I wake up and also in the evening.
I don't do temping or use OPKs but I'd put money on me having ovulated on the 16th because on the 15th I had a lot of EWCM and my sex drive went through the roof!! I read somewhere that ovulation usually happens the day after symptoms like that. We on the evening of the 15th. Also, when I woke up on the 16th I had a stitch like pain where I imagine my left ovary to be, and I've read that other women have this when ovulating.

But is it too early for implantation, assuming conception happened on the 16th?
I've read conflicting things on the internet - some places say it can't happen until 6dpo and other places say it can happen any time between 3 and 10dpo.

I dont think there is a "too early" as such.. It takes the egg between 3 and 7 days to reach uterus doesnt it? So 4 days would be OK probably?

Did you feel it implant? I had no bleeding, but felt the implant at 6DPO - sharp needle like pain that made me jump when lying in bed.

No bleeding at all though. No discoloured CM. Nothing. Just cramps. AF like cramps.

Didnt test until 12DPO and got a BFP.

16DPO today and still no AF and have had 5 BFPs

GOOD LUCK x x x

Hi!
Yey, good to hear that it's probably not too early!
For the past couple of days I have had weird twinges/cramps. They are quite different from AF cramps - more localised and 'twingey' and also they are strongest when I wake up and in the evening, whereas pre-AF cramps are always strongest in the evenings and I never feel them in the morning. Also I rarely get pre-AF cramps this early in the cycle
Things defo feel different from normal!
I really hope this month is my month!!
H&H 9 months to you!

No its not to early, my son implanted at 4 days and I got a bfp at 7dpo and this one implanted at 4 days and I got a bfp at 5dpo, although my tests are lighter today so im just seeing what happens over the next few days

Oh I just realised your the same days as me, I ov between the evening of 15th and morning of 16th so 5/6dpo now.
Dont be put off by af cramps thats normal at this stage because its just the uturus changing and stretching where it was originaly getting ready for the next cycle but then stays swollen.
I also had a timy bit of spotting yesterday, so good luck to both of us

Oooh that's cool that we are on the same days! And really reassuring that you had implantation of 4dpo
So did you get your BFP yesterday, or today? Congrats!!!
I think I'm gonna try and hold off testing until 10dpo, because I really hate getting BFNs!!

ps. Your little boy is really really cute!!

I got it yesterday and have gone though 7 tests now just to make sure I wasnt imagining it
Todays test seems to be a bit lighter though so im wondering if maybe you get a bit of a surge at implantation then it lowers then start to gain a bit.
Id wait till 10dpo at least as getting it this early is so rare I just seem to be a bit of a freak in how early I get bfp
But I also have picked up chemicals before that havnt stuck so im just crossing my fingers for now

 

[hanfromman]

Well I'll keep my fingers crossed too for you!
I really hope this is a lucky month for both of us

 

[meandmrb2011]
