My period was 10 days late this month so I thought I was pregnant. After 5 - HPT's AF finally showed her ugly face, but only lasted 3 days!! I usually have 5 days of AF and then 1 or 2 days of spotting. Could this have been implantation bleeding??

Sounds too heavy to be implantation bleeding, as most cases only last a few hours or less (mine was just one bathroom visit) - but my SIL had her period during all her pregnancies, all the way through, which is really strange, so you never know!

Hi there!

Actually, you know, I am in the same boat as you. Af was suppose to arrive on October 10, and didn't. She "sort of" made an appearance on Sunday night, and then an hour later, she was gone. On Monday, I had a "browinish" coloured discharge, and then she disappeared again. Today, I have just a little bit of spotting. Does this sound like implantation bleeding to anyone? A week ago, my pelvic region felt "bloated" however, now it seems normal. Also, on Friday, I had awful cramps in my abdomen, similar to those before I have my period.

Does anyone else have that? Like in another woman's concerns' her breasts are leaking, and she thinks that she's pregnant, and mine have been leaking for a while, and my doc told me it's due to some medications. Now, I am just getting confused about what my body is possibily trying to tell me. Am I pregnant or not? I took 4 HPT and they were all neg. I also had a urine test at the doc's and it was neg. From other messages, some women don't have any HCG hormone in their bodies until 8-10 weeks into the pregnany. Does anyone know if that HCG hormone differs with smaller vs larger women? I am a petite woman, and I was thinking that maybe it's not showing up because of that reason.

Anyways, I told DH that I will wait another week or so, and see what happens, and maybe go back to the docs to get a BT. Any advice?

I don't know what kind of news you're hoping for but it sounds like you had your AF. There is always next time! Some times changes or things around us can mess us up and make us late and short.

GL!

Thank You!!!

I was really hoping I was pregnant this time!! DH and I have decided to really start TTC in Dec. Maybe we'll have better luck then.
