Newbie for advice and support - IB?
Hi there! I just signed up today and I am notoriously bad at this sort of thing. So here's my story. I am 28 years old and I have been trying to conceive for over 12 months. I was referred to an infertility clinic for follow up on a relatively normal ultrasound 4 months ago and my husband and I agreed we would go in January, 2016 (got to love those clean slates for new years resolutions). While I menstruate on a monthly cycle, it is very irregular (28-34 days as the average range) and I am not personally convinced that I ovulate regularly either. Needless to say the last 12 months have been an emotional roller-coaster. Now here's where I am at: I tested positive for ovulation 10/29 and my husband and I had sex (this in and of itself was very exciting as I had not tested positive for ovulation in some time). Today is the 35th day of my cycle and 3 days ago I had a creamy brown discharge (TMI) just when I wiped over the course of 1 day - it was not heavy enough to even mark my underwear and has since completely disappeared. I have never experienced a creamy brown discharge. In terms of accompanying symptoms, I have had tremendous bloating (I seriously feel like a balloon) for 48 hours with mild cramping on the left side of my pelvis. My breasts are also very tender. As these symptoms are similar to that of my menstrual cycle, I don't want to get my hopes up but my (indeed, hopeful) research has made me wonder if the 24 hour weird creamy brown discharge that I had never experienced before was implantation bleeding. I have taken a pregnancy test and it is negative. So here I sit, 1 day outside my normal range, 14 dpo, 3 days past potential IB, wondering if I should still be hopeful that I simply took the test too early and there isn't enough HCG in my urine yet to detect pregnancy? Has anyone had a similar experience on their road to pregnancy - negative tests too early and then a BFP? I am sorry for the desperate tone of this entry but maybe if you ladies could send some baby dust my way I'll feel more confident taking another pregnancy test in a couple of days.
Thank you for your time!

until AF arrives there's always a chance. I've never experienced implantation bleeding but I've been told that brown and pink is a possible IB sign. I too have a lot of PMS symptoms and just got my faint positive. I have 26-28 day cycles so I tested at 13dpo im hoping my next test will be darker. Two days ago I had strange discharge which was very much creamy and egg white stringy looking which made me want to test. I say test again in a few days to give that possible blastocyst time to create some of that hgc.��
