Implantation Bleeding...Did you have it? What was your experience?
Okay,
I have posted a couple of threads about some mid-cycle blood-tinged CM I have had but now I am wanting some more specific information on implantation bleeding.
In a nutshell, I am pretty sure I ovulated on CD 14 (Thursday 11/08) or thereabouts. DP and I DTD a few times in the days before and after. Then, on Sunday lunchtime (CD17) when I wiped, I had pinky CM. This continued on and off until yesterday (CD 19). It was mostly pinky-reddish but tapered off to a brownish color (sorry for the TMI). I had a little bit of extremely light back pain/cramping yesterday. It was never anywhere near enough for a pad/liner/tampon and it was only when I wiped and not every single time.
So, like every good LTTTC, I have spent the past few days dreaming (okay, praying) that it might be implantation bleeding. Although I am pretty sure it started too soon after ovulation.
Other things to note are I have had a raging headache for a few days and I have a sinus cold. Lately, my cycle has been approx 30 days long.
In the interests of letting me fantasise just a little longer that it might be something good (ie. Implantation), I would love to hear from others who actually had implantation bleeding that ended with a BFP.
When did it start?
What color was it?
How long did you have it?
Did you have cramps/back pain?
Did you have any other symptoms with it?
Thanks for indulging me I am sure I am not pregnant but sometimes it helps to pretend I might be IYKWIM

When did it start? 3 days before AF was due
What color was it? Brownish colour
How long did you have it? A day or two
Did you have cramps/back pain? Yes I thought AF was coming or that I was coming down with some tummy bug
Did you have any other symptoms with it? Headache, crampy back pain
I've only had implantation bleeding in one of my pregnancies
When did it start? 4 days before AF was due
What colour was it? Brownish blood
How long did you have it? Woke up with it on a Friday, had it when I wiped all day. Then had slight amount of spotting on the Saturday.
Did you have any cramps/back pain? Nothing at all around the time of the bleeding but cramps the week before
Did you have any other symptoms with it? Was exhausted and quite hot
I am not going to shatter your hoping and dreaming, I haven't had implantation bleeding before but I just wanted to say I hope for you that you turn out to be PG whether impl. bleed or not.
When did it start? 4DPO
What color was it? Started of pinky, then turned red & then brown
How long did you have it? 3 days
Did you have cramps/back pain? I had back pain
Did you have any other symptoms with it? Nothing at all
When did it start? Mine wasn't until i was about 5-6wks PG
What color was it? Light red/pinkish and brown
How long did you have it? On and off for a couple of days
Did you have cramps/back pain? none
Did you have any other symptoms with it? nothing
I haven't had any implantation bleeding but I've read most of the time implantation happens between 7-10 DPO but there are always exceptions to every rule!!
When did it start? 6dpo and again at 10, 11 & 12dpo
What color was it? Brown
How long did you have it? Just once on the loo paper at 6dpo then one or two spots a day the other days
Did you have cramps/back pain? I felt like AF was on her way for 10, 11 & 12dpo so yes
Did you have any other symptoms with it? Not really, just felt like AF lingering. At 6dpo I felt fine though but spotting was awfully weird for me mid cycle
My BFP charts are linked in my sig so you can have a look (it was the Dec 2008 chart). I just tried to look but FF must be having issues. I think I remembered everything right though.
I definitely had an implantation bleed when pg with DS1, albeit it was 4 years ago and my memory sux ...
When did it start? Couldn't honestly say as my cycles were out of whack, but I was on second cycle of clomid - I "think" it would have been approx 8-9 DPO.
What color was it? Red-brown I think.
How long did you have it? Only remember it being 24 or 36 hours at the most - enough to make me think AF was on her way soon.
Did you have cramps/back pain? No.
Did you have any other symptoms with it? Nope, but I do remember there was very little blood all up - literally was a tiny bit of spotting throughout the day.
Good luck N2L - I hate how when you are LTTTC your body plays tricks and mind-games. Hope it all leads to a BFP for you though!
N2L i thought for i was out that cycle because i had only read of implantation spotting from 7DPO & i knew for sure i was only 4DPO because i was charting & using opks.
When did it start? 4DPO (got my BFP 6DPO but it was incredibly faint ... wasn't sure until 8DPO)
What color was it? Some bright red blood. Not much at all. Probably would never have known if I wasn't charting.
How long did you have it? Only noticed it on one day but might not have noticed if I wasn't obsessing over it.
Did you have cramps/back pain? Only some Ovulation pain left over from a couple of days beforehand.
Did you have any other symptoms with it? None.
I hope it is implantation bleeding for you. It sounds entirely possible to me.
Oh N2L, the suspense is killing me! I have been reading this thread and every time i see an update I'm hoping it's everybody congratulating you on a BFP!
Good luck FX
When did it start? 5w3d
What color was it? brown
How long did you have it? a couple of days
Did you have cramps/back pain? oh yes, especially on my right turned out thats where the baby implanted
Did you have any other symptoms with it? tired, nausea, headaches and moody
I didn't have any implantation bleeding with DD but i did have cramping, quite bad cramping.
When did it start? 7dpo
What colour was it? brown
How long did you have it? 1 day, only when wiping.
Did you have cramps/back pain? i had af type cramps
Did you have any other symptoms with it? Not with it, but a few days later started feeling really thirsty/hungry and had headaches.
I thought i was out, that af was sure to come. didnt get a bfp when i poas at 10dpo, wasnt until i was 1 day late for af that i did. so hope that it is for you too.
I had it with DS - it was my first clue that I might be pregnant.
When did it start? About a week before AF was due
What colour was it? Brownish
How long did you have it? It was only very light - only really there when I wiped, over a couple of days.
Did you have any cramps/back pain? A few niggles, but nothing too different to what I felt before AF
Did you have any other symptoms with it? My boobs were a bit sore and sensitive, but I used to get that before AF too
I am not exactly sure what day of my cycle I ovulated on so...
When did it start? I had some brownish mucus about 4-6dpo & then spotting on 8-10dpo.
What color was it? Brownish.
How long did you have it? First time it just showed on the toilet paper once (5-6dpo) with the mucus and then it was a couple of spots throughout the day (9-10dpo - I did a First Response Test that day and got a super super faint positive).
Did you have cramps/back pain? I had pains EXACTLY like AF except they started heaps earlier then I would have usually got them 6-7dpo(They ended up lasting a couple of weeks).
Did you have any other symptoms with it? I had sore bb's and bloating, bloating was probably from the Clomid though. Both of these symptoms I have with AF as well.
