I have long luteal phases, usually 16-17 days. My cycles are about 31-32 days. I tested on Monday, 13DPO, BFN. I'm waiting it out before I test again. It's normal for me to spot before periods, but this cycle has been different because there was pink/red blood instead of just the usual brown spotting. My breasts/nipples are also still tender, which usually subsides by this point in my cycle. I'm sure I'm just reading too much into it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1275104 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:53:43 +0000 Chastenet 1275104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: Silly me, I didn't even notice that the thread was created 3 months ago!

How many DPO are you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1275069 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:34:21 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1275069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stratosphere: This sounds VERY similar to what's going on with me. Trying not to get my hopes up! Assuming it's just AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1275066 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:32:54 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1275066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: That's so wonderful! Congratulations to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1275043 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:21:53 +0000 Glitter 1275043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My spotting was very light brown and lasted for two days. I'm now almost 19 weeks pregnant so everything was fine! Don't be worried! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1275038 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:19:14 +0000 MamaBehr 1275038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleLashesToes: I want to say it was more pink or red than brown. That week I took a pregnancy test on Tuesday, it was a BFN and I think I started spotting Thursday or Friday. Friday was when I was convinced my period was coming. Then, Saturday night, I knew something wasn't right, because I should have had a much more blood, and took a test. I think my period was due that Friday, maybe that Saturday. I also CONTINUED spotting for awhile after. Now, that sweet little BFP is only two weeks away from his c-section! I hope that it all works out for you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1275011 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:09:26 +0000 Chastenet 1275011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spotting happens, and although scary, isn't an indication that anything is wrong. It is not implantation bleeding, however, since that would happen at the time of implantation and if you've had several positive tests then your little bean is already done with the implanting. If you have painful cramping and/or bright red AF like bleeding, then definitely call your doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1274985 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:01:22 +0000 stratosphere 1274985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: I've read that lots of people spot during their first trimester, especially when AF would have been due. </p> <p>@littlelashestoes: I got my BFP last week after being sure I must be out. At 5 DPO I had red streaks in my CM. At 6 DPO I had bright red spotting, which continued on 7 DPO. At 8 DPO it was actually red bleeding (like a very light period day but more than spotting) and even some tissue and a small clot and I was so crushed that my LP must have shortened even more than usual. At 9 DPO the bleeding moved to more brownish lighter spotting. But I felt nauseated so took a HPT against all logic but it was stark negative.</p> <p>The next day (10 DPO) I still had brownish spotting but also still had faint nausea, so took another HPT and got a faint BFP. The spotting stopped and hasn't come back yet (I'm 16 DPO today) and my HPTs have gotten darker and darker every day since (confirmed at my doctor's)--and the nausea has continued too!</p> <p>I thought implantation bleeding couldn't be more than a streak of blood on one day, but I guess everyone's different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1274873 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 20:06:14 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1274873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: Was your spotting brown, pink or red? How many days before your missed AF did it start? I'm curious because I'm experiencing something similar right now. Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057426 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 11:45:17 +0000 littlek 1057426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: I spotted throughout my entire first trimester and everything was fine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057320 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:39:17 +0000 Glitter 1057320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh that scare was no fun. I'm so thankful for you all and your super helpful responses. It's been 3 hours and still extremely light. AF would have been heavy by now so I've ruled that out:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057277 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:08:13 +0000 MamaMoose 1057277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spotted throughout my pregnancy and have a perfectly healthy baby. My doc always said not to worry unless its heavy bleeding or paired with cramping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057270 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 10:01:47 +0000 Bao 1057270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: yay! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057226 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:18:24 +0000 Glitter 1057226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok all of your posts have helped calm me down. Glad to know others experienced implantation bleeding late and still had successful pregnancies. Just took another test. Here's my BFP history at 10, 11 and 12 dpo. </p> [attach=3887/13/msefqp.600x450.IMG-20130831-WA0001.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057219 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 09:07:56 +0000 Bao 1057219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had spotting and full on bleeding for weeks after my BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057201 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 08:50:03 +0000 Honeygold89 1057201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was the same way with this pregnancy I spotted when af was due and even at 8 weeks when af would have been due again so it can be normal so take it easy and get try to get in touch with a doc whenever you can </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057193 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 08:42:32 +0000 Glitter 1057193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies. I'm trying hard not to worry. This is my first pregnancy and we haven't told our parents yet - we're planning something special. So we have no one to call and ask questions. We're trying to get on to another doctor too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057182 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 08:30:06 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1057182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is the time I had implantation bleeding with both my successful pregnancies-- right around when AF would have been due. I wouldn't worry too much, but maybe there is another doctor you could see if you are worried? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057180 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 08:29:37 +0000 Pink Champagne 1057180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe pick up a digital? I don't know if you took one before, but they're a heck of a lot less confusing than squinting and thinking "is that a line? I can't tell. It sort of looks like a line..."<br /> I hope all is ok! I had some spotting with baby #1 but that wasn't until 7-8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057173 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 08:23:02 +0000 Glitter 1057173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't get on to my doctor :(. Going to the pharmacy to get another test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057162 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 08:14:17 +0000 LovelyPlum 1057162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: @swedishfish: sorry, should have been more clear :Thanks for explaining :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057138 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 08:00:55 +0000 MamaBehr 1057138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so convinced that I was getting AF (before I got my BFP) that I used a tampon (whoops, I read later that is super bad...) I spotted for a few days right after I got my BFP with this pregnancy, but I had no issues. Never be afraid to call and ask your doctor, especially if you are that worried. :) </p> <p>Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057125 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 07:52:43 +0000 swedishfish 1057125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks 3 days :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057121 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 07:50:14 +0000 Glitter 1057121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is 8+3? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/implantation-bleeding-or-af#post-1057108 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 07:40:55 +0000 LovelyPlum 1057108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm spotting brown at 8+3, so it can be normal.

Both were positive. Normally AF would be due tomorrow. I just woke up to light brown blood. .. very little of it. Isn't this too late for implantation bleeding? What do you all think is happening? I'm getting a little freaked out. Please help. </p>
