Spotting at 12 dpo bfn at 14 dpo...what else could it be besides implantation bleedin

[kfred2011]

I had a blood test at 10 dpo because I had faint positive hpts. It was negative. On 12 dpo I had light spotting and a dip at 10 dpo on my chart. Could it be implantation bleeding? When will I get my bfp, if at all? Is there any other reason I could be spotting this early? My luteal phase is 150-18 days.
Thanks for any advice!! Going nuts here!!

I can't say much about the blood test since the blood test would pick up HCG before an HPT would but, I know that if what you had was implantation then the blood test wouldn't have picked up any HCG either cuz the baby hadn't implanted yet. I don't know what brand of test you used when you got faint BFPs but they could've been evaps especially if they were blue dye. And what could be happening right now is that you got a dip in your chart when you started the bleeding cuz it could've been implantation. This is what happened to me with my son. My temp was 97.77 and the next day it dropped down to 97.25 and I started spotting a tan color. I was 12dpo when it started. Then, the next day it went up slightly to 97.27 and the spotting continued for 5 days. The day after that it went back up to 97.77 and stayed elevated which showed me I had implantation. I did take 2 Answer tests at 12dpo when the spotting started and I got extremely faint lines. Then at 16dpo, when the implantation ended, I took 2 Clearblue's and I got extremely faint positives so I took a digi and it was negative. So, I thought I had a weird AF, I wasn't pregnant and that was that. But I had an extra digital that I decided to take at 18dpo and to my surprise it was a positive. It was confirmed later on that day. I was 3 weeks and 3 days pregnant.

It's very possible what you had was implantation, especially cuz of the dip in your chart. The blood test would've been negative anyway until implantation occurred. So, I'd test again and if you're still unsure, go for another blood test.


I hope this helped! g/l

fertilmertile- sorry if this is TMI but what was your spotting like? im having some spotting at the moment (have been since about 8dpo now 11) and i dont know if what im experiencing is too heavy for "spotting". It is only when i wipe. But theres a fair bit there when i do?! Dark red or brown mainly, had a little bright red this morning but it stopped completely!?

 

[kfred2011]

Mine was really light and brown. It was only in my underwear and when I wiped then it went away. When I checked my cervix this morning it was very soft and there was still more dark brown discharge. I'm just hoping it's not a chemical pregnancy passing. Has anyone else had a chemical pregnancy that resulted in spotting and not heavy flow like AF?

I some women still spot around af and can be pregnant... I know i did

Don't worry, it isn't TMI at all. I spotted for 5 days and it was only a tan color. I used a pantyliner but hardly ever saw it on the pantyliner, mostly just when I wiped. It wasn't heavy whatsoever. But with implantation it can be pink, a spot, scanty, it can last a minute, an hour, a few hours to a day, a few days to even 7 days. It can also be red at times but if it's heavy and it's just like AF then it wouldn't be considered implantation.

Doesn't sound like a chemical to me. Usually chemicals are when you get a BFP and then you begin to bleed and the bleeding is AF. Then, you get a BFN afterward.

Implantation is more what you described.

Just the information I was looking for.. I had some spotting and the 30th and 31st July 2012.. Now it was there one min and gone the next so on and of.. really tiny spots but only when I wiped.. my pads were clear!! Some of the spots were red and some were pink they were like pin sized spots so no flow. I also had a bigger spot at some point the size of a 2 pence Piece and it was pink.... Pale pink. This was 11 and 12DPO after having bad cramps the night before at 10DPO I am now 14DPO and still no luck with A BFP. Is it too early for me I hear it take 48-96 hours for HcG to double up??
