Possible Implantation Bleeding - TMI

Hiya Everyone, I need your advice. I am on cycle day 18 (of an approx 26day cycle). I believe I ovulated on day 12 (FF disagrees and says day 14) therefore by my estimation I am 6DPO.

So....I just went to the bathroom to do a #1 and then needed to do a #2 and when I wiped I noticed that there was red blood on my toilet paper. It is bright red but only when I wipe. I wiped a couple of times and it stopped. What to you think it is? Could it be implantation bleeding? I thought that implantation bleeding was supposed to be brown.

I'm perplexed as I have never had my period come this early. My shortest cycle was 22 days and that was just after I had my M/C late last year.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hiya,

I posted this last night but haven't had a reply so I thought I'd bump it up. Hoping someone has something to suggest or add.

Thanks.

i strated thread like this about 2 days ago, are u over stressed? im over due and had a period on 11th march and on 23rd march and they were good periods so i dunno whats going on with me but i sympathize with you not knowing cause im so clueless right now.

I had an implantation bleed with one of my pgs. Are you temping? Sometimes you will see a dip and rise when you have implantation? Otherwise the only thing to do is wait - sucks I know

Thanks guys. I saw your post Squidpa and twice I started to type something and then I didn't becuase I wasn't confident with the possiblity of the double period so close together. I didn't think I could offer you a reasonable answer so I stopped typing.:redface: When will you test? In answer to your question I do get a little stressed but I've never had a period this short. (If thats what this is) Today the bleeding is brown with little brown flecks in it (sorry TMI). I'm really bummed out because we timed everything right this month and I was having tests done as well and the lady who did my ultrasound said there was an egg (18mm) on my right side and that was at day 10 and I felt myself ovulate on day 12 and....and....and....I know the only thing to do is wait and see.

Saram - I do chart and my temps are still up but this months chart is a weird one and doesn't really look like all my other charts so again I will just have to play the waiting game.

aww aussie girl i honestly don't know much about this im sorry i wish u had answers.. i had a very heavy period and cramps that last for 1 month and a half too... so im lost with me, i didnt really know that its ment to be brownish if its the implantation one so maybe we can blame myn on stress maybe.. i tested on wednesday and nothing.

The worst bit is when I wasn't TTC it felt that periods just came and went but as soon as you do start TTC everything goes haywire!!!:wall:

Aussie, is there a pattern to this months chart? Can you post a link? I am no chart expert but through our time in the TTC 1-6 months thread I did pick up a few things.

I didn't experience an implantation bleed but I know of many who did so it is possible and not all experienced the obvious implantation dip.

I have my fingers firmly crossed for you

Yeah Aussie if you can post a link to your chart that would be good. I know just what you mean though about things going haywire when you chart - it's crazy isn't it

O.K. somehow I've managed to link my chart in my signature. I don't know how but there is also a comparison to last months cycle. This months chart doesn't not look like most other months. Most of my charts look like the one from March. Thanks for taking a look though girls. ;)

Aussiegirl I would love to see what your temps to tomorrow cause that could def be an implant dip, have there been any disruptions to your temp taking or anything?

Aussie, it doesn't look too bad - I have included a link to my charts for you - not sure what will come up ie whether it will just be my last chart or if the two of them will be in there. As you can see my charts were all over the shop at times but the super chart analysers kept informing me it looked good for the month I did fall pg.

tk1999's chart

I think yours could be an implantation bleed but it is hard to say at this stage - I agree with Saram it will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings - the white circle on CD17 - was that a late temp taken? What is the reason it was discarded?

Thanks for taking a look girls. TK1999 the circle is sleep deprivation. Not a late or early temp for the day. I won't give up hoping until the lady sings for me.

Satya if you are around I'd be interested to see what you think now that I've posted the chart as you are always good with chart interpretation.

How are things looking today Aussiegirl? It does sound like it could be implantation bleeding to me.

Best of luck :D

Hi Aussiegirl

I know exactly what you mean! I am sure my body did not play tricks on me before we were ttc.

I ovulated around day 17-19 - i think!!! (after OPK+ on day 17). Then 7 DPO I started spotting - usually in the morning. Always pink or red but not heavy. I am now 11 DPO and the spotting has continued. I really am at a loss!!! Lets hope we get some answers soon with a BFP and hope that this has been implantation bleeding!! x x x

Aussiegirl I believe implantation is often bright red. Have you had any more spotting?

I am the same as my periods and cycles have been totally predictable for all my life until we TTC. Our first month I spotted early and had never ever done that in my life. I also had very sore breasts. I believe I had an early m/c but the moral of the story is to trust your body you know when things are different. The second time this happened I was convinced I was pregnant but because I spotted and got heavier I never tested. I later founf out I was pregnant. Just trust your body it sounds pretty promising to me. Best of luck I hope you get your BFP. :D

Hi Everyone - Yes I'm still spotting. Not much and it's brown but it's still spotting. Today is 9DPO and I have sore boobs today. The only other time I had sore boobs was when I got my BFP last November but it ended in a M/C. I will test tomorrow because I have a 9am appointment with the specialist. I'm not giving up but if I do get a BFP in the morning I will be very anxious about it because of how it all ended last time. Will wait and see what happens I guess. :D

Good luck for tomorrow hope you get some good news

Well I tested with FMU when I woke up this morning and I got a faint positive. I don't want to get my hopes up at all because that is exactly what happened last time and it didn't end well. I just :pray: that this little bubba wants to stick around for a while.

Oooh, sounds like a quiet congratulations is in order! I'm praying your little one is nice and sticky.

Aussiegirl - I was going to post in this thread and say that I had bright red blood on 6 DPOs with this pg (I am currently 18 weeks pg) so it could definitely be implantation but just finished reading the thread and checked your chart and it looks like you are UTD!!! Yay!

I know you are still unsure, but I wanted to say a quiet congratulations and send you loads and loads of sticky vibes. I hope you have a very healthy and happy 9 months.

Aussie, I totally understand how you are feeling at the moment but wanted to send you lots and lots of :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:

Sounds very promising and now sounds like definately implant bleeding must be cause beanie is digging deep. Congrats

Hiya, I went to my specialist appointment and she sent me for a bloodtest straight away. The results came back this afternoon (how quick is that!) HCG was only 22. They said that because I tested on 10DPO that I could expect they would be low. They are more interested in if they double or not. So on Thursday I go for another test to see.

Has anyone else had a bloodtest done at 10DPO with a low reading like mine?

I'm still spotting very lightly but it's really making me nervous. I just want this one to stick so badly.

Oh hon, congratulations! I hope you get a good outcome, have you ever had your progesterone checked? My fingers are crossed for you

I have been watching you closely and am so happy to see that you got a BFP!!!!! :leap:

At 10dpo it is not at all surprising that your level was 22 - don't stress about that one. I can't remember exactly but at around 14dpo with my last baby (ended in a live beautiful daughter!) I think my level was 57??? I remember feeling quite stressed about that - because it was lowish... But the levels a little more than doubled each time and that pregnancy grew into my mirale Imogen!

Wishing and praying for you that your pregnancy grows a beautiful healthy baby to hold in your arms....:hug:

ooh, sounds like congrats are in order, hope it's a sticky one!

With my first DD my levels came back somewhere in the 20s at 13 DPOs and my doctor sent me for another blood test 4 days later and they were 80 something and then another 3 days later they were 140 something.

You need HCG of 15 and above (depending on the test you use) to get a BFP on a HPT and some people don't see a BFP, even on the sensitive ones until 12, 13 or 14 DPOs sometimes even later.

Don't stress about your levels - it sound perfectly normal to me.

Congrats again - you are definitely UTD!!! Lots of sticky vibes to you :)

Congratulations Aussiegirl on your BFP. I have everything crossed you get a huge rise in your HCG and you have the stickiest bubby ever.

Hi Aussiegirl,

I am so so pleased for you. Fingers, toes and everything crossed for you. I am approximately the same DPO as you and I have had spotting from day 7DPO. Sorry if this is tmi, but some days it is pink/red when I wipe after having a wee (sorry..... tmi tmi). This morning it was a bit heavier though seems to have stopped now. I got a BFN, but am crossing my fingers that I can join you with a BFP! x x x

Thanks girls - It means so much to me that you are saying such positive things. I'm nervous as so is DP so we are just trying not to really talk about it until Thursday when the 2nd HCG test is done.

Emmy - I had my Progesterone levels checked and the doctors said they came back good but I can't remember what she said the number was. She said that all the tests I had over the last week or so and the ultrasounds came back good.

It's just a waiting game now. Because of our M/C last November and the fact that I have some (albeit not much today) spotting I get scared very easily.


RELAX, RELAX, RELAX.....- easier said than done.

ETA - Dinks - I hope that you get the results that you are looking for too. Fingers Crossed!

Anymore updates Aussiegirl???

Just wanted to let you know that I spotted for ten days after ovulating when I got my BFP. And I now have a beautiful little girl and not one problem during pregnancy - so don't worry about the spotting alone, unless you have cramping. :)

Kristen27 - Thanks for checking up on me. I had another BT done 2 days after the first (so last Thursday) and it came back at 58. I was pretty happy with that and they want me to have another one this coming Tuesday too. I was going to ask for another one as well.

So yep I guess I am still pregnant. BUT I'm so scared it's crazy. I don't know why I can't just enjoy this. I'm worried that my unreasonable fear will actually cause something to happen but I don't know how to stop myself from stressing.

Anyway.....that's the update. I still don't want to get too excited as I'm only 4 weeks gone.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you Aussie... it is hard to stop stressing - but even taking half an hour where you try your best to phase everything else out - it really is worth it

xox

Congrats!!!! Woohoo and your chart looks like a beautiful pregnancy chart! Hope everything goes well for you

WOOHOO!!! Congratulations darl!!
