implantation bleeding?

[Possums]

Hi ...sorry another question from me!

I have been having brown and sometimes pinkish spotting for a few days now...since 11dpo...at my BT on monday my progesterone was high and my nurse thinks it's probably implantation bleeding. It stops and starts...sometimes virtually nothing, then some fresh spotting...all light though, I am only wearing a pantyliner during the day. No cramping.
Does it sound like it would still be implantation bleeding? not sure how long to expect it to go for.
Because I've had an ectopic, I am really nervous about any bleeding.
thanks.

I am still experiencing very light brown spotting/discharge...less than before, mainlyjust there when I wipe, or a small stain on a pantyliner...nevertheless, I am worried...wondering if it could be an early ectopic symptom ( I am at higher risk having had an ectopic before)...anyone have any thoughts...or maybe experienced similar and it was all OK? This is day 5 of the spotting...I estimate I am 16DPO

thanks

hey possums

how are you doin hun?? so sorry that i didnt see this thread earlier!!

i had close to a normal period when i first found out that i was pregnant, it was horrible. i was due for af on the 26th but i had started to spot 2 days before i was due, plus all the crinone gel was coming out nearly black, so i knew that af was coming. i rang the clinic and they said i still had to have the bt on the 27th so i went in had it done, went straight to work and thought nothing more of it. In my mind it was over and that we didnt get out much wanted bub.

well anyway the phone rang after 5pm and it was them telling me that we were pregnant!! i couldnt believe it. my levels were 101, but p4 was only 15 so they said to increase the crinone gel to 2 a day. but for the first 8 days of this pregnancy the bleeding was pretty bad, it was red and heavy and it was to the point that i stopped using the liners and used tampons cos i just couldnt bear to feel my body lose this baby, everytime i felt blood run out i would rush to the toilet in tears, so thats why i started using tampons, all the bleeding was doing my head in. but through out it i was getting bt's done every second or third day and the levels were going up, my p4 levels were going up but slowly, they said they were still in the safe zone so that was the main thing!

the bleeding eventually stopped, the blood went from red to brown, so i stopped using the tampons and went back to panty liners and the brown spotting wasnt alot, it was leaving like a brown strip on the liner, mind you i was still stressing cos i so desperatly wanted it to stop!!!!!

but it stopped and things looked like they were on the right track, UNTIL last week!!!
i had some more brown spotting, but i put it down to the fact that af was due around that time. the spotting has stopped now but i am still wearing liners just so i can keep an eye on what is coming out ( sorry tmi )

bleeding is scary no matter what colour, its a good sign that is brown and that it is slowing down. definantly keep up with the bt's and try and take it easy. This is the toughest wait ever i know!! but i have a really good feel for you hun, you concieved this bubba naturally so he/she is sooooooooo ment to be!! i am hoping and praying that the spotting is just bub snuggleing in nice and deep.

if you ever need to talk please feel free to PM me.

sorry for the small novel i just wrote lol i didnt want to leave anything out
hope you can get some comfort from my story
take care sweetie xxx

Thanks so much for sharing all that M2C! It does help and make me feel a bit better...my next BT is on Monday ( a week after the first one) I'll be around 19dpo..I dont know if I should have them closer together for a bit, if I am still spotting...i guess they'll let me know. There was hardly anything today....just more like brownish discharge...sort of yuk stuff like you get at the end of a period. Like you did, I am wearing pantyliners to check exactly what's coming out! Every trip to the toilet is a test (and I seem to be making frequent trips!!).
thanks again for your support
