Implantation or AF :(

[Donna88]

So last night I got very excited as I'd had a bit of spotting (9dpo yesterday) so I was convinced it was implantation. I told my husband and he was clearly very happy although he did say he didn't want to get too excited until we could test and see a positive as wouldn't want to be disappointed.

Woke up this morning to really bad period like cramps and more spotting - so now I think AF is just arriving a few days earlier than expected. I've not had a heavy bleed yet so now I'm waiting to see if the spotting turns to full AF or if it is in fact implantation bleeding.

I have back ache and the blood is bright pink and I think it was red yesterday so I'm swaying towards AF; but she is early and I know I didn't ovulate earlier either :/ just playing the waiting game now to see if we're onto cycle two. Feeling really disappointed right now though

Hello Donna, I too am at 9dpo and have bad cramping today. I feel same as you disappointed. Sending baby dust to you xx

 

[Donna88]

Fingers crossed for you too Sarah.

Thank you Hun, it's mentally painful isn't it. Just keep busy I am trying to. Is the bleeding any less now? X

Could go either way really. If you've got bad cramps I'd be leaning towards AF thiugh sorry Don't get down after only one cycle if you're out, most people don't catch right away.

Hi I'm 9dpo I think or 10dpo I've had 2 bbt dips , today it's rising again but under my coverline , I've had cramps on/off today with backache but there not painful or bad , I keep getting creamy cm and it's staining my knickers

 

[Donna88]

No more bleeding; a bit of spotting again this morning.
I'm also leaning more towards AF winter wolf it just feels AF-y if that makes sense; although no idea why she's starting so early; not expecting it until the end of the week.

Good luck starmissy, might be worth buying some pantyliners I find they're great for when I'm getting CM at different times in my cycle

Hi,

If it's any help I had a huge implantation bleed with my current pregnancy, it was bright red and lasted for about a day and a half every time I wiped. I was sure my period was just really early although I was always regular.
It stopped so I tested a day later and got a faint positive

Good luck !! X

Lol my first symptom with my bub was af like cramps so don’t count yourself out yet

Thanks for the replies ladies - it is AF I was gutted yesterday and still am slightly, but looking forward to the next cycle ahead. It's my 30th during this cycle so at least I can have some brie, a rare steak and a little to drink to celebrate (trying to look on the bright side haha)

It's been our first cycle trying so I feel like I can't be too disappointed - I need to just brush myself off and look forward to the cycle ahead.
