They will want to make sure you don't have an ectopic on your hands, but personally with my second loss, I went through a tremendous amount of hand-wringing and like 12 betas and then I just ended up having a natural miscarriage and passing everything at about 6 weeks. I don't know, I'm sorry it's not just a cut-n-dried pregnant or not-pregnant situation :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851991 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 08:09:53 +0000 Clementine12 2851991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: yes with FMU and nothing darker - definitely a line but not something I can capture. I think I would've had to O really late by this point for this to be anything but a chemical.</p> <p>Does this usually resolve itself or is it something I need to see my OB about? How long should I keep waiting for AF to show up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851988 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 08:05:27 +0000 LCTBQE 2851988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: I *think* I can see the line when I adjust the brightness on my screen, but from a lot of experience with FRER's and beta tests, if this is positive, your hcg is probably in the single digits here--every FRER I've done that's this faint the corresponding beta has been like, 6. Wondering if you have a chemical on your hands if you're actually 15dpo :meh: but if your dates are wrong, who knows? Did you test again today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851985 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 07:58:29 +0000 foodiebee 2851985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: I'm another vote for no implantation bleeding. I always spotted with AF.</p> <p>Maybe grab a basal thermometer from a pharmacy and take your temp the next couple mornings? My temp was always a good indicator of what was happening with my body. It's so hard to know for sure when you ovulated based on cramping alone. Maybe you geared up to O but didn't until a bit later than usual? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851982 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 07:39:01 +0000 Clementine12 2851982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: not 100% - I'm now on CD29 and figured ovulation based on some cramping around then and what is typical for me. </p> <p>We're currently NTNP so I have no other data to go off of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851967 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 22:42:38 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2851967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: are you sure you’re 15dpo? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851929 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 19:20:31 +0000 Clementine12 2851929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: yes I agree - there is a line but it's crazy faint for my dates. Ugh I think I would be better off not knowing :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851927 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 19:07:43 +0000 pachamama 2851927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: if you were 15 dpo for sure, you'd get a stronger line I think :-/ I always thought (wished) I had implantation bleeding but the very buried stress of TTC that made me spot starting the month I tried to get pregnant. I did get pregnant eventually 3 times tho! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851883 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 15:27:31 +0000 Clementine12 2851883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Test from just now - think I see a v faint line but I'm not the most confident. 15 DPO and brown spotting for 3 days now. </p> [attach=7470/18/pgrfhv.600x450.20181017_142350.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851783 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 09:38:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2851783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to spot a few days before my period started and never had implantation bleeding. I did have cramping with my first (when I was actively TTC and very aware of what was happening in my body). If I recall I did not have spotting before either pregnancy. The fact that it was different than usual was a sign that something was up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851780 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 09:31:59 +0000 MrsSCB 2851780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't actively TTC with my son, and I don't remember any unusual spotting. With this pregnancy, I was very focused on any possible sign before testing, and still didn't notice any spotting whatsoever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851778 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 09:29:15 +0000 jape14 2851778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS (now 4), I started spotting the day after my positive test (15 dpo) and spotted on and off for about 2-3 weeks. I can't remember with DD (now 15mo) but I don't recall spotting. I had a MC in between and I didn't bleed until the MC itself around 8 weeks. (&amp; for what it's worth, I have had ovulation spotting in both of my successful pregnancies.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851760 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 08:41:10 +0000 periwinklebee 2851760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I started TTC I never spotted, once TTC I had it all - spotting regularly when I wasn't pregnant and spotting when the pregnancy was viable and was non-viable. :goodluck: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851756 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 08:36:06 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2851756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: no problem. I have never spotted before a period or mid cycle and the two times I have had some random funky bleeding it was because I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851754 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 08:32:27 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2851754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had spotting with both of my pregnancies. Not sure if it was implantation bleeding. I don’t usually spot more than a day when AF arrives and this was different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851753 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 08:31:23 +0000 Clementine12 2851753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skinnycow: this is what i was thinking! Like - real thing or thing only people focused on TTC think about? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851749 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 08:10:39 +0000 skinnycow 2851749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spotting is always a sign that I'm not pregnant. I've never had spotting in cycles I've conceived - doesn't matter if it was mid-cycle, close to AF, etc.</p> <p>I know a lot of people experience implantation bleeding but I think the majority have none! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851745 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 07:44:37 +0000 Clementine12 2851745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: oh my gosh! Congratulations! I should test (I WILL at lunch today I suppose since I don't have any at home rn) but I am worried about getting a :bfp: then bleeding heavier/losing the pregnancy - I had bleeding first tri with my daughter and it was not a good time for my mental state. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851720 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 23:10:54 +0000 LCTBQE 2851720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: I had 3 pregnancies with no spotting/bleeding at all, but my 4th (my newborn daughter) I spotted for two days around 14/15 dpo. If you’re already 14 dpo just test!<br /> Here is my crazy thread about the whole thing where others chimed in about similar experiences: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-chemical/page/2#post-2792966" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-chemical/page/2#post-2792966</a><br /> Hope that is helpful and that all is well :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851718 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 22:06:36 +0000 Clementine12 2851718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: @CatchAFallingStar: Thanks for sharing your experiences and for responding quickly!</p> <p>@MamaBear87: that's interesting and you've sent me down the research rabbit hole. I had breakthrough bleeding in my first pregnancy and this seems pretty late for implantation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851710 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 21:19:24 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2851710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn’t have implantation bleeding but I felt it with both pregnancies. Probably around 9DPO. I got positives both times by 12 DPO. </p> <p>Brown spotting was always AF for me. That being said, a few weeks in, I spotted a little and had cramps in my first trimester with my most recent pregnancy. So....🤷‍♀️! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851707 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 20:59:15 +0000 MamaBear87 2851707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spotting always announced af for me. The cycle that I finally had no spotting is when I finally got pregnant. </p> <p>Science says implantation bleeding isn't really a thing. The embryo is microscopic at that point and doesn't cause enough disturbance to cause bleeding. Spotting can be caused by a myriad of other things though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851705 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 20:45:19 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2851705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That’s kind of how it was for me in my second pregnancy. I thought it was af starting and put in my diva cup and then nothing happened and I didn’t get a positive test until 3 days later and it was faint. I spotted for a week or two after as well. I don’t know if it was implantation bleeding. I did have a small hematoma at my first ultrasound with my second pregnancy. </p> <p>With my first I bled a few spots of red a week before I took a pregnancy test and that was it so I think that was true implantation bleeding. </p> <p>As for testing, I’d give it another 3-5 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-experience-with-implantation-bleeding#post-2851704 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 20:38:38 +0000 Clementine12 2851704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF was a day late and has only been brown spotting for 48 hrs now. I am 14 DPO (based on ovulation pains and thats it) and started spotting yesterday. This is not normal for me.</p> <p>Seems late for possible implantation bleeding? I wouldn't test positive if implantation is just now happening, correct? How long should I wait to test?</p> <p>I'm sure AF will really arrive now that I've made this post, as it goes. Anyway, what was ypur experience with implantation bleeding? </p>
