Implantation spotting..is it necessary?

[pickles]

Hi courageous ladies. I don't post often, but had a nagging question.
I had 2 day 5 embies put back in last week, and am now just waiting for that blood test (which I have crossed everything will be positive!) on Friday. I've been trying to look for signs of implantation (spotting), but have not had anything. Is this spotting a must for ladies who have fallen pg, or have there been pgs without the spotting? Just curious.

I am not sure but I think that implanation spotting is not that common.

I do know that you can definately be pregnant and not have spotting

Hi! I hope it's OK for me to post in this section! I just wanted to say that I have never had implantation spotting with any of my 3 pregnancies (one ended in m/c). I only knew I was pg when I POAS!

HTH & good luck

I didn't have implantation bleeding when I fell pregnant with my daughter.

Best of Luck. I hope you get your BFP very soon

pickles - I've never had implantation spotting. Good luck and I hope you get a BFP.

ive never had implantation spotting... not even a drop and im well as u can see from my ticker...PREGNANT!!! good luck sweety!

4 pregnancies here, all from IVF, and only one episode of implantation spotting.

It's not necessary to have implantation spotting in order to be pregnant, and it does actually seem quite rare.

I'm really not sure it's possible to know for sure one way or the other with IVF until you get to that blood test. I've heard of BFNs with all the pregnancy symptoms in the book and BFPs with not a single symptom at all, and everything in between.

Best of luck for Friday.

It's not hugely common - out of 4 pregnancies I've only seen it once.

Good luck!

I had none with my first pregnancy but did with this one.

Pickles,

Fingers crossed for you hun, but in 3 pregnancies, I had implantation spotting once -when DD was concieved. It was a light pink smear and I thought my cycle was up S*** creek. Its not very common, so dont look out for it, Id watch for other things like sore BBS. Just to let you know - generally most symptoms dont kick in until the 6wk mark, so you may well be pg and not have any obvious symptoms. Here's hoping!

I've had 5 pregnancies & never had implantation spotting. I knew with DS I was pg at 3 weeks after LMP just from sore boob though, if that helps.

Thank you so much for all your replies and wishes! It certainly helps a great deal to know what you all have experienced and it makes me less anxious trying to look out for it.

4 pregnancies here and no implantation spotting with any of them including the successful one. What I noticed first with the last two was a stuffy nose followed by bleeding gums - all before I tested positive on a HPT.

[Malyna]

I didn't get any signs or symptoms including implantation spotting until well after my BT to show that I was PG

[LisaL]

Satya - I had the bleeding gums too

[pickles]

Arrgh! Today seems to be going SO SLOW. I had my BT this morning so now I've just got the wait for results. I just noticed some brownish discharge on my liner (sorry, if TMI!). I hope it's not AF on her way! STAY AWAY! Although I was quite anxious and did POAS this morn and there was a faint line. Trying not to get my hopes too high.

[Liviam]

I didn't have implantation bleeding either.


Got everything crossed for your bt results today!!! Best of luck pickles.
