Implantation question
5
Sat, 10-04-2003 - 11:48pm
my boyfriend and I are TTC (for the past 5-months)and this month we are hoping that we finally succeeded, but of course AF is not due for another 5 days, but for the past 4 days, my breasts have become increasingly heavy, my bra is very uncomfortable and every now and then they become very sensitive, I have lower back pain, nausea, always thirsty and lower abdominal cramping-sometimes all over and other times just one side, but I have noticed any light spotting or bleeding to indicate implantation, I am almost 11 dpo, so my question is--does implantation always produce bleeding or not? Should I be discouraged if I have not seen any light spotting recently, or with all my symptoms is it still positive that I could be pregnant?? please help!!!

I was just asking this same question in another response. Let me know what you find out. Hopefully it will work out for all of us!

I have had those same symptoms. I am now 10 DPO, and though I haven't had the spotting, I have had the fatigue, thirst, sore bb's (not sure if it's due to impending AF or what) and have had the lower back aches and cramps that stay mostly to the left side of my uterus area but does move around. I actually haven't felt that since yesterday. Anyway...just rambling here. -l- Oh, and about the spotting...I haven't had any of that, but with my first DD, I spotted for a day. Thought it was AF but obviously implantation. I do know that lots of women do not even know when they have implanted...meaning that they don't spot or anything. I hope that this answers your question. Keep us posted on your test results when you test. If you want to try to test early, you might try FRE w/FMU. Otherwise, you may just want to wait 'til you know for sure that AF is late. Good Luck!!

I had a baby girl 19 months ago and I didn't have any spotting when I got pregnant with her I was always very regular so if I had any spotting before I was due I would have remembered for sure, spotting when implantation takes place is common but if you don't it doesn't mean that your not pregnant. Most of the people I have asked say they didn't. well anyway hope I helped.

( Let me first say that I am totally new to the whole pregnancy thing. ) This cycle

( Sept. ) is actually my dh and my first time trying to conceive, today I should be 8 dpo.

I know that lots of people say that implantation bleeding MAY occur 7 - 10 days dpo, but I have not experienced it. Every once in a while I will have cramps in my lower pelvic area, but no sore / tender breast, like some women say they have when they can't even wear a bra ( and trust me I poke them all the time to see =-) ). I don't want to allow myself to get too excited and be let down so I'm just taking it day by day. Just remember though that each woman's body is different and just because you don't experience the same symptoms as someone else or at the same time as someone else doesn't mean that you are not pregnant. Good luck and let us know what happens and I will do likewise.

I thought that it was actually more common NOT to have implantation bleeding. I did not with my first child.
