I took two HPTs on dpo 10 and dpo 11. 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.
-
I had some light brown spotting throughout my first trimester. Hopefully everything's fine!
ETA - and congratulations!
-
I'm spotting brown at 8+3, so it can be normal. Hoping everything is OK! Have you been in touch with your doctor yet? You could always call, for peace of mind.
Eta: even if you haven't called yet, you can still reach out to the on call provider. That is why they're there!
Congrats!!!
-
What is 8+3?
-
8 weeks 3 days
-
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.
Congrats!

@Glitter: @swedishfish: sorry, should have been more clear :Thanks for explaining
-
Can't get on to my doctor :(. Going to the pharmacy to get another test.
-
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..."
I hope all is ok! I had some spotting with baby #1 but that wasn't until 7-8 weeks. -
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?
-
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.
-
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
-
I had spotting and full on bleeding for weeks after my BFP!
-
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.
-
@Glitter: yay!
-
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.
-
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:)
-
@Glitter: I spotted throughout my entire first trimester and everything was fine.
-
@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!!
-
@Glitter: I've read that lots of people spot during their first trimester, especially when AF would have been due.
@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.
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!
I thought implantation bleeding couldn't be more than a streak of blood on one day, but I guess everyone's different!
-
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.
-
@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!!!
-
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!
-
@MamaBehr: That's so wonderful! Congratulations to you!
-
@stratosphere: This sounds VERY similar to what's going on with me. Trying not to get my hopes up! Assuming it's just AF.
-
@LittleLashesToes: Have you tested yet? How many DPO are you?
-
@Glitter: Silly me, I didn't even notice that the thread was created 3 months ago! Congrats
-
@spaniellove: I'm 15 DPO. 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!!
-
@LittleLashesToes: I hope this is it for you
-
@owlteach: Thank you. I'm doubting it, but still nice to hear!
