Started bleeding a couple hours after taking the pills and passed it all out that night. Bleeding lasted about 5days and then completed stopped. Followed up with my ob on 7/22 for an ultrasound and he said everything has cleared out. </p> <p>Im still getting strong positive HPTs that don’t seem to look any lighter each day. </p> <p>the last few days I started having dull cramps which I thought might be from ovulation but I read that women don’t ovulate after an MC until their hcg returns to zero? </p> <p>Yesterday and today I had very faint light pink spotting when I wipe. </p> <p>My husband and I had unprotected sex for maybe a minute on 7/21 before I stopped him and made him put on a condom. </p> <p>Anxiously awaiting hcg to go back to 0 or AF to arrive. </p> <p>Thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-with-clots#post-2890448 Tue, 09 Jul 2019 11:27:08 +0000 JennyPenny 2890448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m 8dpo (bfn this morning) and symptom spotting like crazy. For the past two days I’ve had mild cramps that feel like a light version of AF cramps. The internet was very encouraging that this could be implantation cramps. I started spotting this morning, pink/light brown and which seems great for implantation bleeding except there were a few small clots. Dr google suggests this should not happen. I do usually spot a day or 2 before AF but have a solid 13 day LP so that’s be weird. I guess I’m wondering if anyone has any experience or insight.</p> <p>One possible complication is this is my 3rd cycle after a D&amp;C which did have retained tissue. So for the first 2 months I had chronic spotting with clots just like this during that time. But after I got my first AF I haven’t had anything like it since. I never did get a follow up ultrasound to see if it was all gone though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/13-dpo-and-spotting-anxiety-through-the-roof#post-2841955 Mon, 27 Aug 2018 09:10:49 +0000 cstanton13 2841955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>According to Glow I ovulated on August 15th. I took an ovulation test on the 14th &amp; 15th and my LH Surge was high both days. I know it sounds crazy but starting on the 17th my boobs were super sore, a couple days later still sore boobs and nausea something awful. I never actually threw up but I felt terrible. This continued and as days passed fatigue set in. I walk 2 miles a day 3-5 times a week. I could barely walk I thought I was going to pass out every time I did it. I've been walking for 3-4 months. I've literally took like 6 HPTs starting at like 10 DPO because I so anxious. Then the dreams started I've had two dreams that were super crazy and I never EVER dream like this (only when I'm pregnant, I did it the last time I was). AF is scheduled for Wednesday August 29th. Starting Sunday (I was cramping Saturday night while I lay in bed) I wiped and there was light pink on the paper. This continued all day and by the end of the day it was gone. I went ahead and put a pad on just to monitor it. I woke up this morning and it was back. Its more brown now, and there is some on the pad but I really see it when I wipe. I got my hopes up (again!) and took yet another HPT and it was a BFN. I NEVER spot before my AF, except if hubby and I do the deed a few days before sometimes I will spot but then it goes away until my actual start date. We haven't done anything for a week. I usually get a major headache and I feel like my uterus is going to fall out then I start. I feel nothing only the spotting. I walked again Sunday and couldn't finish because I felt dizzy and exhausted. I will add that the last pregnancy I tested on 14 DPO and got my BFP (I don't know if I could have tested sooner because hubby and I weren't exactly ttc. We had the mentality if it happens it happens) Am I crazy?? Am I making up the symptoms in my brain?? Is there still hope or am I finished this round? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/line-eyes-too-soon-after-hcg-trigger-shot#post-2827947 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 13:16:46 +0000 Stardust17 2827947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took this test today after taking Clomid and receiving 10,000iu of a trigger shot on 6/1. So today it’s been 12 days since the shot. Could this be too soon and it be residual from the shot?? Or could I have hope? Planning on retesting Friday to see if line gets darker...but would love to know your experiences.

However, I had some brown spotting. I never got the full blown period. How soon after that can I test, with the thought that it could be implantation bleeding? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-6#post-2814953 Sat, 07 Apr 2018 10:26:24 +0000 Stardust17 2814953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn’t experience implantation bleeding with mybfirst and had a MC in Dec. 2017 so my cycles have been too irregular to chart with OPK. I’m totally optimistic BUT I did experience some dark brown spotting 2 days ago (right after a vigorous workout) but only one time. Yesterday I noticed light pink spotting on my liner but after I changed it, I didn’t see anything rest of day. So far today, nothing. Last (probable) cycle ended around 3/23 and I don’t know the last time I ovulated.<br /> What was your experience with implantation bleeding? Could this be? Also feeling fatigued and some harder bowel movements (which is not likely for me since I have crohns).</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-see-1#post-2784095 Fri, 03 Nov 2017 18:17:25 +0000 LittleGBee 2784095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey all, </p> <p>I'm not even sure where in my cycle I'm at because I'm still nursing and my sleep and cycles are super erratic.

My boobs and nipples have hurt since the day I believe I ovulated and was hoping that was a good sign. I've been starting to get more and more tired as the days progress, too. Yesterday and today I have noticed a few pimples on my face and my skin is a little more oily than normal. I am sort of getting disappointed and thinking it's not going to happen this cycle. :sad: </p> <p>I did notice that today I have been having a constant "pulling" or "twinge" feeling in my right pelvic area throughout the day and can't help but think maybe that's a good sign. I also can't tell if it is all just in my head!</p> <p>Has anyone else had this twinge feeling, along with mild acne and gotten a BFP? I'm too afraid to test right now because of the chemical pregnancy stories and cannot wait until Monday!

I started getting UTI symptoms a few days after ovulating and went to the doctor, and am now on antibiotics. </p> <p>The last time I had UTI symptoms was when I was 5-6 weeks pregnant last summer, but I went to the doctor and I didn't actually have one. The last time I actually had a UTI was probably when I was 7 or 8 years old. </p> <p>I'm 8dpo and feel pretty menstrual so I'm not expecting anything to happen this month (2nd month trying since our termination in November) but just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

This two week wait is really getting to me. We are coming up on our year mark for trying for a second little one. Our first was easy peasy so this has been a whirlwind of emotions! </p> <p>I need advice, thoughts, stories.... I ovulated on CD 12 with positive OPK and left sided cramping. My OPK was positive for 2 days. On CD 18 (6 days later) I noticed pink spotting. Just for the heck of it I did and OPK and sure enough it was positive. I have now been spotting for SIX days, and each day my OPK has been positive. My spotting has been pink, brown, peach, and a little red with mucus. My boobs have been SUPER sore and tingly. I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out what's going on with my body. Does anyone have a similar story? What was your outcome? </p> <p>I'll do my best to post back when my two week wait is over too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/acne-before-bfp#post-2670454 Tue, 27 Dec 2016 10:20:22 +0000 dominobee 2670454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone have acne or skin changes ahead of their BFP?</p> <p>I woke up on 4 DPO and my skin had seemingly changed overnight. I usually have very smooth skin - I rarely got pimples even as a teen - and now it seems like every pore on my face has turned into a bump. I've also got a few pimples - including one on my earlobe!!</p> <p>I know this would be very early for implantation but I can't think of anything else that would change my skin so drastically in such a short period of time. I do sometimes get stress-related pimples but those would be one or two big ones. This is a different kind of skin change that seems to be the overall quality of my skin. I haven't changed my soap, shampoo, detergent or anything that would cause skin irritation.</p> <p>AF isn't due until Jan. 3, 4 or 5 (my cycle ranges from 26-28 days) so I can't test yet. Instead, I'm obsessively researching acne before BFP! Would love to hear your experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/december-2016-tww#post-2665676 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 10:17:09 +0000 Mrs. K 2665676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently in the tww and am trying to stay calm and be patient (so hard!).

I had my period from 6/16-6/19 (25-27 day cycle) and suspected I would be ovulating around 6/27 based on previous months (I’m not charting or temping). On Satuday 6/25 I took a Clearblue Advanced digital OPK and got a solid smiley. I had what I thought were O pains on Sunday and yesterday. Last night I took a cheapie OPK so I could see the lines and it was positive again. I took another test on the CB Advance digital this morning and it was an open circle. What gives? Why did I have 3 days of positives? We BD’d Friday, Saturday and Sunday so I’m hoping I caught it.</p> <p>It’s weird because last month I was sure I ovulated because of the pain I felt and the next day I took an OPK and it was negative. This month I had pain for 2 days and I was sure I ovulated early on Sunday, but maybe not since I got another positive yesterday.

I noticed that I was cramping (like period cramps), but I felt like it could be due to all of the walking that I did in the 100+ degree weather. I ovulated during that time, but I am still cramping. My breasts are also sore. I'm also very tired, but that can be due to traveling. Isn't it too early to experience pregnancy symptoms?

I've got a really weird case of something going on. 10dpo I had light pink watery spotting on TP once after I wiped. Assumed it was start of AF but it was still too early (AF due Saturday). Then around midday, I went to pee and it seemed like I had a bit of red bleeding too so thought ok obvs AF is early. Put on a liner and nothing. 11dpo I had dark brown stringy mucus once on TP, then next time dark red/maroon stringy mucus once on TP. Then today (12dpo), almost nothing on the pad but it started out as very slight bright red spotting and only when I wipe. At this point (late night, it's even less and only when I wipe and sometimes it's light pink, sometimes bright red but literally only a couple of drops). I had a chemical two months ago, and a normal period last month. I don't really have dark brown mucus ever, Altho I did with the chemical. I never spot for days- usually in the morning and by afternoon or evening AF is out in full flow. Everything I've read says IB is not meant to be bright red. My previous two successful pregnancies I had IB but always just a creamy light pink tinted discharge and just once. So is this some new kind of IB, or is it breakthrough bleeding or is my progesterone dropping so slowly that my period just isn't able to come all at once? Thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lower-abdomen-pressure-intuition-baby#post-2559178 Mon, 30 May 2016 19:04:27 +0000 dominobee 2559178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been feeling some tightness &amp; pressure and a general sense of energy coming from my lower abdomen for the last week or so. On Saturday my friend texted me (out of the blue, from 3,000 miles away) and said "Are you pregnant?" I asked why and she said she "had a feeling." This is a person who has always had great intuition, she can tell if someone is a jerk after meeting them once, can anticipate when people are going to fall in love, etc. </p> <p>The fact that I was "feeling pregnant" and that she texted me with that question really got me thinking that I could be. I took a test today, 12 days after unprotected sex and 2 days until my period is expected. It showed an extreeeemely faint line... I took a pic and upped the contrast on my computer and it's still very light.</p> <p>Have any of you had a similar experience, particularly with the tightness or pressure in the abdomen? Or with a very faint possibly positive test? I know I need to wait at least two more days to see if I miss my period, but I am just so anxious to find out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tww-symptoms-by-dpo#post-62433 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:55:30 +0000 mrsjyw 62433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea if they are PMS or Pregnancy symptoms (yet)...</p> <p>I saw this on another site... and it helped me deal with the craziness of the wait.

I have DOR and we are waiting to do another donor egg IVF cycle. Inwasnon 150 mg of clomid this month, I had a lot of weird cramping on 8 dpo and a sharp quick pain on 10dpo! My temps are still up and my cervix is very high and soft. I also have a little creamy white cm. My cervix is normally very low and firm before AF, but it has been very high and soft for the last 3 days. Is there any chance the cramping on 10dpo was implantation and it was too early for the hot to show? It was an internet cheapie that was sensitivity of 25. I have no other symptoms except hot flashes and headaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-on-cycle-day-1415#post-2537968 Sun, 01 May 2016 06:39:31 +0000 ktdid23 2537968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never had spotting mid-cycle EVER, but this cycle I had some spotting (pink) on cycle day 14 and brownish on cycle day 15.
