Implantation???

Does anyone know of anything which can assist in implantation?

I started TTC this month and AF was 7 days late which NEVER happens and the doctor said (according to my temperatures) it looks like fertilisation and implantation may have taken place but the eggy never stayed implanted!

I have bought some preseed to help with sperm longevity but would like some advice on implantation please!!

Any advice is welcome! :lol:

Hi there,

I can imagine how frustrating this is but I think that there isn't much you can do apart from ensuring that you have a decent luteal phase (at least 10 days). There are many instances where conception occurs but the egg does not implant and it may not be a reflection of something that needs fixing if that makes sense.

If you only started TTCing this month, it may be too early to draw any conclusions from what just happened and you don't want to worry yourself unnecessarily. So, I guess that is the best thought I can come up with at the moment. I hope you have better luck soon.

Kind regards,

Mel

Hi, i'm a newbie here and just wanted to say that this forum has been a great source of info for me!

i have a question if anyone could help me i would really appreciate it!

i'm on my 2nd cycle ttc#1. i'm not sure when i ovulated (i thought i would give it a couple of months trying before i start charting etc), we BD almost every second day, some days 2 days in a row, for the whole cycle so far.

i have a 40 day cycle, sometimes 39 days, ever since i came off the pill 6 months ago. AF is due on wednesday or thursday (today is saturday). Last night there was some pinkish blood in CM when i wiped, and this morning there was some blood and more pinkish CM, but not much like the beginning of AF. AF isn't due for another 5-6 days.

I haven't had many preg symptoms except a very very mild AF-type cramping for 1.5 weeks on and off, and sore boobs only when you press them. on the otherhand, i haven't started to have any of my usual AF symptoms which are mainly moodiness and face breaking out.

Can anyone help me figure out what the pinkish blood in CM is? Also, should I wait till AF is due to test?

Thanks!!!!

If you have a cycle of 39-40 days, you should still ovulate 14 days before that in theory. Can you count back and remember if you DTD on that date roughly? It might give you an indicator of if you are pg or not. Usually symptoms don't start appearing until after implantation, but I have noticed that I do feel different to when AF is coming kwim? So not pg symptoms as such but just feeling different.

Also don't be worried by the lack of symptoms cause not everyone will get strong signs of m/s etc. It is possible that you have had an implantation bleed if your AF is not due for a few days.

Good luck and let us know how you go.

thanks for the reply, yep we dtd around that time a few days in a row.

i'm really hoping i'm pg..!! will post any updates...

:)

I got a faint BFP yesterday at i think 10DPO, but was spotting all day yesterday. today i woke up and there was blood, like light AF bleeding, I tested again and got a BFN...

what happened??? i'm so confused and upset, but I guess I'm out for this month....

if it is AF bleeding, it came 4 days early...unusual!


:(

Silver, when you tested today, did you use first morning urine and was it the same brand of test? at the early stage of pg, some tests jsut can't pick up enough HcG to register a +ve result. So it is possible that has happened to you. Or the other possibility is that you have had a chemical pg where you get a BFP but then go on to have a normal AF, kwim?

I hope that you have just tested too early to get a definate result

I agree with Sherie, were both your tests the same brand and did you test at the same time?
I know this time round i got a little spotting before i tested, but b/c i 'felt' different i had in my head it was implantation bleed, which yes it happened to be, if you test to early you are not always guareenteed to get the right response.
Im hoping its implantation bleed for you. Test again in a couple of days if Af hasnt reared her ugly head.
Like Sherie said it could also be a chemical pg, but heres to hoping its implantation and you announce your bfp real soon

Hi Silver,

I just wanted to say WOW all that BD!!!!!!! God, you deserve to be pregnant after that effort! He he he he

I am also hoping that it was implantation bleeding for you. Everything is crossed for you for a BFP!

thanks everyone for the replies and well wishes,

i used the same brand and first morning urine, but now i'm pretty sure it's AF arriving early - i've got the AF cramps and the flow is heavier now...must have been a chemical.. :(

even though i had tried to not get my hopes up, it's still so upsetting seeing AF arrive

Oh silver I am so sorry. I know how upsetting it can get when the dreaded AF arrives. Keep you chin up and fingers crossed for your BFP soon.

I am so sorry Silver. next month you will be announcing your BFP for sure!

Just wondering If anyone has experienced this? I am due for AF 2morro or monday at the latest. 2day when I was went to the toilet there was a smear of brown on the paper but havent had anything since. I have also had mild cramps in the lower left side and lower back. I usually dont get cramps like this until day one of AF. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!!

Well I would do a test my love. In ivf we have a little rush of excitement at reports such as this - it very often does indicate an implantation "bleed". Of course it ould also be the onset of your period but I would certainly test...

With two of my 11 pregnancies I have had what you describe... :hug:

Can anyone tell me how long they usually last?

I had one with this (IVF) pregnancy. It was literally about half a day of light spotting... I think I probably wouldn't have even noticed it if it weren't for the fact that we'd had an embryo put back in a few days earlier and I was looking for things to be different.

I'll be keeping my figners crossed for you, Kim. :crossfingers:

BW

Thanks BW, maybe this is going a bit long...

Though I'm not entirely sure when I conceived, the BT said between 5-9 weeks (2 weeks ago) but had only been off BC for 7 weeks. I had 3 day bleed (1st and 3rd day spotting, 2nd day red blood) 3 weeks after stopping BC which could coincide with 1 week post ovulation, therefore could have been implantation bleed or some sort of break thought bleeding. Does that make sense?

Thanks Charlotte - that is exactly what's happening - there's hope yet :D

can anyone please tell me what their implantation bleed looked like? (if you had any?) it's just that I am 5 days late for AF... had lots of CM the last 4 days and very, very slight cramping (if any) not my usual pre-AF symptoms so to say.. and just then i went to the toilet and noticed when I wiped, very, very, tiny amount of light brownish discharge on the tissue... and nothing else... if AF arrives, i normally get bright red and fair bit of it... and feel very very "wet" down there (SORRY) I'm just so confused

Good luck Kim my fingers are crossed for you!

I cant remember getting any implantation bleeding with Jesse.. but just wanted to say i hope thats what youre both getting! My fingers are :crossfingers: for you both Renstar and Kim. Looking forward to some big announcements!

I had inplantation spotting and cramping with my last pregnancy, it was a few days of really light spots, i honestly though Af was coming early bc of the cramping too, but the cramping went away aswell as the spotting, tested at 10dpo BFP! Good Luck!

Thanks Shoegal, turns out it was my AF coming.... strange hey? symptoms were so much like early preg... but it's ok we werent actively TTC just yet anyway! :)

Just wondering what an implantation bleed is like? I never had one with DS. However today i had some pink/red cm/bloodlike stuff found and also when wiping (sorry tmi) and i estimate i ovulated some time in the past week. I have never had spotting or any bleeding in between AFs so not sure what else it could be. What do you think?

sounds exactly what i had! good luck :D

Thanks Danni, the thing is though, the only time we dtd, the spermies came out externally not internally (sorry tmi) so we really didn't think there was much chance of conception this cycle.... what do you rekon? also it was in water (as spa) so maybe they swam back in? hehe ;)

haha you go girl!

There is always a chance... ;)

Hopefully next week you have some good news when we meet!

Hehe yep i hope so! I'm still having a discouloured discharge, its like a very light AF.... now i'm wondering if it is AF even though i only had it 2 weeks ago.... what do you think? as i'm bf i usually only get af's every 2 months or so, quite irregular, and they are heavy, not like this. I don't have any cramping either, just light twinges. I've been really sick with the flu, so i'm wondering if that has messed things about? I'm so tempted to test but i dont want to be disappointed so i'm holding off!

I've heard that pre-ejeculant contains a really high concentration of sperm which is why so many girls fall pregnant by accident ..... they think by withdrawing before ejaculation, you wont get pregnant.

Ourlux, I'm also experiencing that. At 10dpo I had pale pink CM on loo paper when wipe, then for the following last 3 days i've had a small amount of pale brown /sometimes claggy CM - I'm really really hoping it's not AF starting but I'll know by Saturday - AF officially due today or tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for you - hopefully we'll meet again in bellybuddies! :crossfingers:

Sorry to butt in, I am having the same thing, been TTC since March. AF is due on monday, got some spotting (only when I wiped). No cramping but general discomfort in that area. I am told that implantation happens anywhere between day 8 and 12 past ovulation and that it can be anything from bright red fresh blood to brown or pink staining that can last anywhere from 1 to 5 days. It was such a vague answer. It is driving me nuts not knowing. I still think it is to early to test (although bright spark doctor did a blood test anyway) dont think my tests will come up with anything yet because if it is an implantation then it is only just starting so the hormone level wont go up yet.

Ive not had any spotting or anything before either so fingers crossed for us both. Good luck.

Oh i'm so glad someone else is going through this! I feel like i've been going a bit nuts! There's still some discoloured cm when i wipe but also today i've been having lots of what feels like mild cramping/tightening pains - i dont want to get my hopes up but i got them very early with DS, i got them before i even got my bfp. But i keep also thinking that perhaps this could be AF just come early, though it really doesn't seem like it. I am dying to test but i'll hold out until saturday! Good luck 10years & Deni!!! Let me know how you both go :)

I'm thinking of testing on Saturday too. My luteal phase is never over 13 days and Saturday would be 15dpo so things would look pretty good if no AF by then... it's been soooo long in TTC so I'm really hoping this is the month. I could probably test earlier but I'm just so sick of seeing that single line.. it's so deflating!

Good luck 10years and Ourlux !

Good luck girls, I guess it varies between people. I had an implantation bleed last prg it was light spotting more brownish and I thought bugger AF coming!! Only to find the following week I felt a bit sick and dizzy and sure enough BFP 2 days before AF was due.( could'nt wait)Fingers crossed for you girlies!!!

I think this happend to me to. I had AF (so I thought) and when we went for the u/s I told my dr the date of last cycle and that meant that I was 4 weeks pg. Did the u/s and was 6 weeks pg!!! I thought it was a regualar AF, so I was actually stunned when he told us that it was 6 weeks already.
But good luck!!

We have a BFN here :(

Sorry to hear that Ourlux. Hoping it was just too early a test for you. :crossfingers:

AF arrived for me, dangnammit! :rolleyes:

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.

I don't have any answers for you, but just wanted to wish you good luck!

Hi!
I'm on Day 24 at the moment, on Day 20 (evening) and morning of Day 21, I had a small bloody/browny discharge which seemed to me to be an implantation bleed. I had the exact same thing with previous pregnancy.
But I'm not sure if it was too early for one.
This is our 11th month ttc #2.
The thing we did differently this month, was to start our bd'ing on day 6 and go every second day.
I always, without fail get a + opk on either day 14 or 15, so in the past, we've only started bd'ing on day 10 or even day 12.
Of course, this month I was out of OPK's, so only did one, on Day 14, which came up instantly as a very positive.
If you think I sound like I'm clutching at straws, you are very right :pray: But I'm hoping some of you on here can either confirm my hopes or settle me down.
The last 11 months have been so hard and at many times, I've been so upset with the constant BFN. Each month I've been waiting to see if I had an implantation bleed, which is the only thing I seem to recall from my last one as a "sign" as back then, we were just trying for a baby, it wasn't as technical as this time, iykwim.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
Good luck to everyone else. August was my month 3 years ago, lets hope it's lots of others (and mine) again this year
