Implantation Bleeding or what?

Hi Everyone :-)

To make a very long story. I am 31 yrs old. Been ttc for over 7 years. Have very severe endometriosis. Have tried everything to get pg. Been through 6 laps. Then I had a hysteroscopy back in April of this year where 3 polyps were removed from my uterus. Because of having severe iron-deficiency anemia & my blood levels dropping, the drs have said it time to have a hysterectomy. Its sad that it has come to this, but I am ok with this. My consultation with the ob/gyn/RE is this coming Thursday in Virginia. Anyway, this is what is going on. I am on day 20 of my cycle. Ovulated on day 10. AF is not due till around day 25 to day 30. This past Friday night, I went to the restroom & noticed that I was spotting. It was light brown with some pink to it. No clots or anything, but it was enough to have to wear a panty liner for about 24 hours. It had stopped by yesterday morning. I did have some cramping with it, but it was not like period cramping. It was weird. To top that off, my right side around where my ovary is at (only have that ovary) is sore. My boobs are killing me!!!! Especially the nipple area!!! What do you all of you think? Could it be implantation bleeding? Early menapause? I am totally confused now. Trying not to get my hopes up. Any info would be forever greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tara S

I myself never had implatation bleeding but I have heard of it i would wait

until af due date and take a test. I don't believe it is menapause. But if you reaaly want to have a baby I would hold off on that hysterectomy. A bit of advise have your doctor test for a B-12 defiency that has been linked to anemia also take a iron supplement

EZ flow I heard is good you can get it at walgreens pharmancy.P.S. I am not in the health related field it is just my opinion. Good Luck i also heard that caffeine can interfere with

iron absorption. Cast iron skillets also helps with improving your iron.

Hi,

For me, the big sign I was pregnant 2 years ago was the extreme sensitivity to my nipples - it was excruciating to put clothing on or lay in bed on my stomach. I'd play it safe and not get too excited yet, but treat your body well until you know.

Good Luck!
