implantation?

hello everyone. i wrote on another pregnancy board about a week or so ago, asking about what i thought were pregnancy symptoms (such as my nipples being really sore, etc.), but a lot of responses i got were that it's way too early for me to be feeling any symptoms. just for a little background information, i got my october period on the 23rd, and my november period on the 23rd, so i figure i have thirty-one days in between, and my ovulation week was last week (my big day being on saturday). my boyfriend and i put in a lot of "sex time" that week, and shortly after is when i started feeling my "symptoms." being as how i WANT to be pregnant, i could have just been psyching myself out, although i know for sure my nipples really were sore for a few days on end, but, they are fine now.
ANYWAY, getting to the point... even though i didn't get the results i so badly wanted to hear from the women who responded, i ended up taking a pregnancy test on wednesday because i just couldn't wait. i KNOW that was dumb because it was way too early for me to take one, but it was laying around, and i figured i could always go out and get another test... hey! i was so curious. lol. but, of course, the test came up negative. i was bummed. although, the next night at work, thursday, i started feeling cramps... exactly like period cramps. i knew it was early for me to be starting my period, but i went into the bathroom to check, just incase. and, there, on my underwear, i found some pink spotting or discharge, i'm not sure what to call it. it looked like the very beginning of a period, except it was VERY light pink. but, today, i've felt fine... no cramps, no pink stuff coming out of me.
i'm not sure what this pink stuff was. i heard some women see spotting and have cramps when they ovulate, also, so maybe i was just having a late ovulation? or maybe i WAS having implantation bleeding, i don't know. but, as gross as this is, i wish i could have taken a picture of the pink stuff when i saw it at work because i was so shocked, and now i'm starting to be in disbelief and questioning myself because i am paranoid that i am wrong about being pregnant, only because my boyfriend and i have been trying for months.
i am going to test again on the 20th with a five day early test because my period is due on the 24th, and i am PRAYING for a positive result. right now, i am just wondering if anyone out there has experienced anything like this before? i've been trying to look up some ovulation and implantation information, but i'd really like to hear it coming from other women, themselves. any advice or information is greatly appreciated! thanks!

I think we are all in the same boat. My period is due on the 25th. I had a very vivid and weird dream last night I also had mild, lower abdominal cramps 2 days ago that lasted all day. I felt SO sleepy two of the past 3 days and I felt a little sick the day I was cramping and then today I jumped up and ran to lay down because I thought I was going to get sick, but then I ate a cracker and I felt better... weird...
I'm afraid I'm just imagining it too. When I was cramping I kept thinking, "ok, am I really feeling this?"

I am SOOOOOOOO happy I found this board. On Dec. 3rd, my hubby and I had unprotected sex. We NEVER do that. He just had knee surgery and couldn't get off quick enough. I know. TMI! Anyway, we had discussed having another child, but hadn't really made up our mind yet. We have a 20 month old girl and I have a 14 year old from a previous marriage. I should point out that I have endometriosis and PCOS, so my cycle is a bit unpredictable. I had started keeping a chart just in case we decided to try. It said that my days to ovulate were the 7-10. My last AF started on Nov. 26. I started keeping a journal once I started feeling funny. It goes like this:
*dec. 9th queezy feeling started and squeezing sensations in breast
*dec. 16th did pregnancy test came up neg but expected this since AF isn't supposed to be until somewhere around dec 24th.
*dec. 17th two weeks after possible conc date. got pain in abdomen with heavy bleeding and a clot lasting for about two hours. Then it stopped. Could this be implantation bleeding?
*dec. 18th - still have sensitivity in breasts and queeziness. No bleeding at all. Now I have heartburn, hot flashes, and can't hold my urine as long. Did another HPT, but still neg. I knew it would be. I am just impatient.
*dec 19th - woke up starving, metal mouth, and very queezy, almost nautious but not quite. Breasts are more tender than yesterday. 3 or 4 days before AF expected.
I went into a craft store today and had to get out of there really quickly because I thought I was going to be sick from the intense smells. Could I be pregnant, or am I just imagining it? Why do other people already know for sure? I feel like I am losing my mind with anticipation. I just want the AF date to get here to see what happens. I ordered some more HPT strips from ebay that should be here about the time my AF gets here. I just can't wait four more days! Any words of wisdom? Sorry it was so long.
I suppose that could be why. I knew we had unprotected sex, so I have been watching like a hawk for symptoms. I hope it isn't a psychological pregnancy where I want it so badly that I am making the symptoms occur. I would find that very hard to believe though with everything I am feeling.
I will let you know what happens after the 24th. Maybe we will get an additional Christmas present this weekend.:o)
I'm in the same boat as you guys. My period is due on 12/23.
I've taken 5 tests from last Friday until yesterday. The first one I took last Friday (I know, probably way too early), but it came out positive (I think). The line was EXTREMELY faint and EXTREMELY thin, but it was there within 2 minutes of testing. I've read on another board that someone else had the same issue with the Clearblue Easy Early Detect and Clearblue told her that it was a faulty test, so I'm not sure.
The second Clearblue I took ended up as a negative, but an hour later had what I believe to be an evap line on it. The third Clearblue I took had that faint and thin line, but only after 30 minutes. The fourth test I took was a Clearblue digital that came up inconclusive on Monday. I took a First Response Early Detection yesterday and it came up negative-as negative as negative can be.
I think I may have tested too early. According to ovulation calculators, I ovulated on 12/9. Hubby and I BD'd pretty much all of the week of the 3rd so there's a good chance I am preg if I ovulated anywhere between 12/8 and 12/10.
So if I ovulated on 12/9 like the calculator says, then yesterday would have been 10 dpo and I was testing way to early.
I began having very very light pink spotting yesterday and very mild cramping around 1 pm. It stopped by the time I got home from work.
Then this morning, it appeared that I was getting AF, but it was different from AF. Usually AF brings on some serious cramps. I've had nothing like AF cramps yet. Just a dull backache today, which I don't really get when AF comes. The discharge was pinkish red (almost salmon-colored) that looked more like CM mixed with blood. There was a small clot too when I wiped (sorry if TMI). I used a tampon and when I changed it this morning it appears that the spotting has stopped.
I am wondering if this may be implantation if I'm on 10 and 11 dpo. I usually spot for 3 days before AF comes, but never have I seen this weird salmon-colored blood or CM whatever it is and it usually is continuous. It doesn't start and stop like this.
Anyone ever have this happen and turned out to be preggo?
