Implantation???

[gypsy79]

For those who have experienced an implantation bleed, can it be as heavy as a normal (quite heavy) period? And did you get cramping too?

This is only my first month TTC, so I'm very new to this. I think I O'd on CD35 (very long cycles). It was my third cycle off the pill, but the first cycle TTC and first of taking BBT, so I'm not sure if or when I O'd in the previous 2 cycles. Last 2 cycles were both 50 days.

I was not expecting to get AF until Wed this week (CD 50) at least. Anyway, we got a bit excited and did a test on Fri at 11DPO - BFN. Later that day AF came, with cramps, 5 days early. I had had some spotting for a couple of days before, but I get that quite a bit so it wasn't unusual.

But, even though I have AF, I still just 'have this feeling' that I might be preg. I know I O'd as I had an ultrasound. And we BD at all the right times. So, it's probably just wishful thinking, but I'm wondering whether this could be an implantation bleed masquerading as AF. It's now been here for 4 days.

Reading this back, it really sounds like I'm being silly - there's not really anything to indicate that I am preg, but lots of things to indicate that I'm not. Wishful thinking, what can I say?!

I'm thinking I might test again on Fri just in case - this would be 18DPO.
