Implantation Bleeding? - Pittsburgh,PA

Hi,
My DH and I started ttc last month. I had some brown spotting for just one day on Saturday, and today I have just some light red spotting. I took a pregnancy test but it came out negative. I am due for AF tomorrow, so I am being a little impatient. I read about implantation bleeding and wondering if this could be it, or my regular period. Any thoughts?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

Not sure what the brown spotting was, but I did get AF for 2 days this week. Guess I was just really hoping for a baby! Maybe I'll have better luck next month. Thanks for your thoughts.

I remember feeling this way!!!! It could possibly be implantation bleeding. Hang in there, the only way to know is to wait. It is SO HARD to be patient when you are hoping so much for the pregnancy. Sending happy hopeful thoughts your way!

Brown is old blood so that isn't a big deal. Have you called your dr, they would be able to give you advice and answer the questions you have.

It certainly could be! I know I had IB with all of my pregnancies.

If for some reason it ISN'T this cycle, I'd highly recommend using Pre-seed if you are trying to get pregnant. I really do attribute my getting pregnant so easy (at my age of 39) due to this product!

Best of luck to you and let us know how it turns out.

Hi, J.K.
Honey, you said it, "I am being a little impatient."

Nature always takes it's time. Kick back and relax. You will know soon.
Good luck. D.

Implantation bleeding typically happens 6-10 days after ovulation. so if it happened in this time period, than it could be!! also not everyone has a 28 day cycle so you could still be pregnant even if AF is due tomorrow if you don't know your cycle length.

if you don't get pregnant this month, i highly suggest temping and charting your temperature. all the info you need is at
www.fertilityfriend.com a free website!

Could be!!! When I had IB with my first pregnancy, it was 10 days past ovulation which was the day before AF was due. It was bleeding for 1/2 the day actually, so I figured I just started a day earlier than expected. Then spotting for 4 or 5 more days. I tested that day, before the bleeding started and it was negative (I looked and looked for that faint line! lol).
It is soooo hard to wait, but not much else to do. :-)
