    Confused.

    Help me out here, please.

    I'm not due for AF til the 8th. DP and I have been fairly relaxed while DTD and only been using withdrawal.

    So, after a week of sickness (not sure if was carsickness, as we were travelling around TAS at the time), incredibly sore boobies which had some milk in them after I squeezed my nipples to check, so emotional, crying for no reason, falling asleep anywhere (which is not like me). DP and I were convinced I was pregnant. I did a test, but was negative. I thought that was because it was 11 days before AF was due and was going to test in a few days.

    Anyway, I've had some bright red bleeding today. Not sure how much, as I just stuck a tampon in straight away because we're at FILs at the moment.
    Enough to freak me out. I don't know if it's implantation bleeding, something's wrong (no pain at all, just got a shocking case of man-flu), AF is early (which it has never been 8 days early), or if I was pregnant and it didn't 'stick'. I don't know what to feel at the moment. I'm hoping that I'm not having another m/c, I only had one 2 months ago.

    Any ideas, please?

    I don't know what is going on but I didn't want to read without posting . I'd say if the test was a bfn then you aren't pregnant, and perhaps your body is still recovering from the mc?

    I had a normal cycle after the m/c. It was 26 days after the m/c.
    I was only 4 weeks along when I lost the little one.

    You might want to go to your GP & get some bloods test and a referral for an u/s to find out what is going on. I assume your m/c was natural (no D&C)? Your body might not have recovered from the m/c - even though you had a 26 day cycle after your last m/c. How much blood is there?

    I went and had a look a few minutes ago and it's all stopped. It would have barely been a 3rd of a teaspoon, just the first rush of bright red and then brown.
    Yes, m/c was completely natural.

    It seems to have all stopped.

    It could be an implantation bleed. Test again in a couple of days and see how you go.

    Yep could have been implantation, but it could have been many things. Hope you get some answers soon .

    I read something recently that yuo can have spotting not from implantation but just from the hormone change of ovulation (the shift from estrogen to progesterone dominance) - this can cause a little 'breakthrough' bleed.

    Unfortunately I've been bleeding quite badly, so no pregnancy. No cramps, just heavy bleeding.
    Not sure if I'm disappointed or not, I don't think I am.
    DP and I are doing alot of talking about TTC for real.

    Thanks for your replies, they really helped.
