implantation issue??

Hi all - just wondering if any one else has had this experience.... i've just had 3 days of very light spotting, of a brown colour, and today AF seems to definitely be on her way :( this is day 31 for me, which i've never made it to before - i'm a regular 28/29 day cycle. So i'm wondering if i could have conceived, but not implanted properly for the egg to hold on?? Has anyone been through this and talked it over with their Dr? I thought this month may have been the one, seeing as i made it to day 31 - and i couldn't pee on a stick as i've ran out of hpt's and i'm not close to any shops today!! Be great to hear of others' stories, and by the way, thank all the god's that belly belly exists, you guys are such a life line! Warm wishes to you all :)

I think I have had the same thing this month I got to day 31 and ahd brown spotting for week prior to this and then the flood gates opened. Im usually a day 26-28 girl too. I did a test but it was negative. so I guess it didnt implant but I had been peeing all the time leading up to AF so I thought I was in with a chance but who knows TTC is a mystery for me..... Good luck with yout journey and if you find out about what it all the spotting means let me know asap....

Hi theresep,

If your doing IVF unfortunatly alot of cycles get thrown out by a few days and some even a week. For me that type of spotting normally meant that AF was on her way.

I know collo04 - what a mystery this TTC path is! I have my laparoscopy next Wed, and was hoping that i had fallen pregs on my last cycle, and so could avoid surgery... wrong! So it's under the knife i go, and maybe, depending on the results, i'll be taking the art/ivf road.... two years has passed now, so it's time to take that step - and if i find out about the brown spotting, i'll pass the info on.
Thanks too, shazld, but i'm not on ivf.... yet, although i'm finding out alot about it by reading all the posts. It's so good to be informed by others who are going through the experience. My 31 day cycle was not the usual thang at all, so it made me wonder... but maybe i'm over analysing everthing!! All the best to you both :)

Just thought i would add that there are some bt that your FS will do after IVF has not been successful to test for implintation issues,

I cant think of them now but if you want i can dig through some paper work and place it on here for you? Alturntivally i think there is another thread around with regards to the same topic

I had a chemical pregnancy once - that is, i tested +ve, 3 days later AF showed up, very painful and clotty and crampy. I went to the hospital. THe doctor there told me it was breakthrough bleeding from the pill (which i hadn't been on for over 9 months) and the nurse, when i cried, held me and told me that these things happen for a reason and not to be sad, that we'd get a baby one day. SO obviously she felt it was clearly a loss and he didn't. My BT was -ve as the levels were only tiny and obviously dropped as soon as they began. So i think implantation must have begun but failed. It was CD30 when i got my faint BFP and CD33 when i began to bleed. AF had been due CD27 as i had quite short cycles then.

In the end there was apparently nothing wrong (i have a DD now), it was, as the nurse said, just "one of those things". I still count that loss as i saw the BFP. It was the 2nd in my sig.

HTH

Thanks for your input, i'll have a look for that thread you mentioned loula.
Hoobley, what a shame some Dr's have no idea how their words can cut so deep - congratulations now on your beautiful little girl, lets hope all of us here can achieve the same.
