Hi all, Quick question...

I'm supposed to get my period on Oct.12. Today the 9th, I have some pink when I wipe, I've taken a HPT and still negative. Is this implantation bleeding and if it is could I still get a neg, on the early first response test?

Well IF it is implantation, then you probably wouldn't get a positive yet. I would wait for the 12 before I would test again, 3 more days will make a big difference, as long as this isn't AF trying to show already.

Thats what I thought. But I am so hopeful, sometimes I think too hopeful. Need to relax and wait. This is my first time trying so the wait is killing me.

Thanks

I think we may have the same cycle. I am due for AF on the 12th as well, and have been completely obsessing over every little thing my body does. I did two HPTs, both negative, but started feeling crampy on Sept. 30, 2 days after TTC. From what I have read, you can still get a negative on HPT even if you are pregnant. It's so hard to wait! What days did you TTC? Do you have any symptoms other than the spotting? I had a tiny amount of brown spotting today, not sure if it's AF approaching or implantation. It's enough to make you crazy! I keep touching my boobs, hoping they will be sore, gotta start watching myself at work, people will think I'm insane. : )

Good luck, keep me posted!!

I TTC on the 29th. My period is usually every 28 days, i see pink three days early and my boobies are sore, some cramping, very edgy, some nausea... but what kills me is that the symptoms are the same as being pregnant, however, I never really paid much attention to them until now because we are ttc. HPT is still negative. I'll keep you posted.

Rachel,

Im going thru the same as your going thru and I think we are on the same cycle also. I ovulated on 9/28 and dh and I were together the night before so we timed it pretty good. Last Sat, 10/4 I started some mild achiness and the past couple days has turned into mild-medium cramping. The only other symptom I have is a lot of cervical mucus which is highly unusual for me. I dont have any of the normal AF signs I normally have by now so we are also impatiently waiting. I took a test two days ago and it was negative but I am hopeful that it was just too early. I dont have any other symptoms and thought I would have tenderness if pg but I usually have several af signs that havent shown up either, so who knows. We wait with crossed fingers!

Baby dust to all!!

Hi Anita

You are right, I think we are on the same cycle. Well, now I don't know....I usually have a 30 or 31 day cycle. Never shorter. So I was convinced that I was preg when I started feeling crampy about 10 days ago. Today I had spotting, thought it was maybe late implantation, and then my freaking AF appeared about an hour ago (making this a 28 day cycle which never happens!). I couldn't help but cry I was so disappointed. Oh well, on to the next month. Let me know what happens on the 12th! I will be wishing you luck! Don't worry about not having other symptoms, I have read that many don't appear until 6+ weeks.

Cheering you on!

Thanks I will definitely let you know. Last night when I went to the bathroom I had a very slight pinkish brown tint on the bathroom tissue but that was it. Im still having cramping on and off but its not at all as strong as pms cramping and still dont have any other symptoms except the cm. I will test probably on the 15th, give myself a couple extra days just to be safe. I will definitely let you know what I find out. Im so sorry to hear your AF showed up!! Hang in there, we may be there together! Take care!
