Implantation???

Well i started spotting last night and AF arrived today.

I am very tired of ttc and upset also as 23rd of this month is 1 year since d and c and so thought would be preg by now

I had a similar thing happen this week. I wiped (a few times through-out the day) and cm was light stain... I thought maybe af, but nothing. I thought 2mths post baby was a bit early for af, what if that was implantation bleed?

But dont give up! Hang in there, its worth it!

hey ladies, pinklilly thanks for posting this question.

I am currently 9 dpo and yesterday I started to have what I would call spotting. Brown tinge when I went to the loo on and off yesterday. Died down last night but this morning was back when I first woke up and has stayed.

I am unsure as to whether count myself out this month. Looking at my chart I had a temp drop of 0.4 this morning, is there anyone who can make sense of this dip? Is that a good or not so good sign?

I am thinking of just trying not to stress about it too much and wait until tomorrow to see what my temp does. If my temp goes up again, then I might try a hpt tomorrow.

littleangels - I am like you, spotting started yesterday 3days before. I am due for AF on Wednesday 17th Oct. I have been using panty liners this morning. How are doing today?

Hi Sasha,

Well mine lasted for 4 days, but only wore panty liners, hardly nothing, so I booked in yesterday to have a blood test and it came back BFN, so I am so cofused as to way my period was like that.

Today I have the brown mucous again and am starting to feel as though AF is showing her face again, bloody hell.

So at the moment my body is weird, don't know why.

I hope your syays waway for you and you get the BFP.

Progesterone is the one thing that will help sustain a pregnancy. You take them as pessaries and they are prescribed from your DR or gyno/FS. There are natural progesterone creams that you can buy, but not sure if they are available in Aust (check with your health food store) and not sure how good they are really supposed to be. Natural remedies that are supposed to aid implantation are eating walnut and almonds (can't remember why, one of the oils in it) and lots of pineapple (the core I think, but there is a bit of debate over this one). I am taking Berrocca this month, as I'm fairly sure a lack of the B vitamins is bad for fertility, again can't remember why (I googled all this last month so sorry about the lack of real info as I can't remember!). Just wanted to say be careful about self prescribing things like Vitex or false unicorn, maybe go and see a natropath/chinese herbalist if you are serious about wanting some help with implantation. Best of luck and sorry to hear of your chemical pregnancy.

littleangels - So sorry to hear that your BT was negative. I was going to get a BT tomorrow too as DH has to go to get some results but just didnt want to put myself through the dissappointment.

As for me well my body is doing such weird things today, cant work it out.
Bleeding got slightly heavier yesterday (had more of a red tinge to it) woke up this morning and all I have now is the yucky brown stuff (what my DH refers to as 'vegemite' stuff ) he keeps telling me he is put off vegemite now for good haha
I still have the bloating, which sucks big time! I usually dont have ANY menstrual symptoms so I am guessing I can put them down to the shot.

I had the Depo shot Sept last year and I think, although my cycles returned in July, my body is still trying to regulate itself. I am hoping that this cycle is another 28 day cycle as the length have been all over the place.... I tell ya you think it is fairly straight forward huh, geez not for us by the sounds lol

I have counted yesterday as CD1. Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary. I have managed to snap outta the 'mood' I was in on Monday night. It was terrible, just felt so irritable and angry and just enjoy the day with my DH. We are going out for lunch so that will be nice to just relax and enjoy some time together. I have managed to get over the fact that we can try again and hopefully this month will be our month :pray:

Good luck to you hon, big hugs to you. :pray: you get your bfp soon! You and me both!!!

Hi Sasha,

Have a fab 3rd Wedding anniversary today.

MY DF and I have decided to start TTC Jan 08, fingers crossed, I conceicved both my DD's only after 2 tries.

Wishing you luck TTC your new family member.

Thanks

I am about 7-9dpo (def at least 7dpo) and 2 days ago i had what looked like an implantation bleed when i wiped (reddish/orange colour), certainly not urine!
I never spot before AF arrives. Along with it, i had cramping, mild, AF type cramping but not painful.

I have had these cramps on and off for the last 2 days now! I am hoping that this is implantation!!! It feels like pulling, tugging, twinges, and i feel terribly bloated.

We dtd pretty much every night as soon as AF left :lol: hence there is a good chance we *could* be pregnant. Although I do know it can take months.... and i'm prepared for that.

I want to know what YOUR implantation cramps felt like? Can u describe them please? It would be good to compare.... i don't know what else these could be?? However i am remaining level-headed about all this as to avoid total disappointment.

AF isn't due until next weds (1 week away). ;)

Renstar, I can't remember if I felt implantation with DD but I know one very positive sign is the spotting....The timing you describe sounds just like implantation....I bet you are aching to pee on a stick but hold out a few more days!!!!

Good luck!!!

Thank you!!! yep, very very anxious...
(and along with it i have the most aching BB's!)

Hi rentstar,

I had implantation cramping with DD. It last for a couple of days and felt like mild cramping for AF. Sounds very very promising with cramping and bleeding colour. Good luck for a BFP.

Thanks Mumstar :)
i hope so....

Hi Renstar, I'd love to be able to help but I cant recall having any implantation cramping with DD but I wasn't charting etc at that stage as we were travelling so I could have without realising??
I have heard they feel like AF type cramps & the spotting is a definate good sign at that time in your cycle so its sounding good...
Best of luck, I hope you get that BFP for (before) Christmas :)

Thanks Danielle! Yeah i'm not charting/temping etc.... just hoping these cramps the last 3 days mean implantation! I cant think what else they could be! Def not early AF...
thank you

In hindsight, mine felt like I had appendicitis! Very painful cramps, cuoldn't stand up straight etc. Very odd.

ouchies!!! that sounds painful! yeah i've heard they can be very mild (like mine have been) or very painful....

oooooooo hope i am UTD :D

I think I had implantation cramping... anyways, it felt like a tummy ache like how I feel if I have eaten a dodgy kebab or something. Rather painful and enough to make me have to lie down becuse of it. I never ever had any type of period pain, so I knew something was different.

Karina, mine is in my abdomen just like AF cramps but only mild and they start on and off on and off all day... like now, just started again.... now and then i get nausea with it but only very very mild hardly noticeable and not enough to make me wanna be sick at all

Renstar, mine feel exactly like your describing. Some very mild AF type cramping, plus a bit of wind (very embarrassing), but no spotting. I'm currently CD 27 (of a usually 28/29 day cycle), so I guess I will see very soon! Here's hoping for a :bfp: for us both

ohh, I forgot to mention that I have also been getting some mild nausea for a couple of days.

I did have a pulling sensation and i was prego No spotting tho....

I didn't have any implantation cramping or spotting. I was pretty sure I'd conceived though because I had an implantation dip of two days and sure enough 5 days later I had a positive HPT on CD24 12DPO and then HCG BT of 466 at 17DPO. Any pains I had started after testing positive.
