Spotting ?

Sat, 10-28-2006 - 9:25am

Hello everyone :) I've been searching high and low for an answer to my question on the net, but noone really seems to know what they're talking about! lol So, I was hoping with all the experiences that some of the "veterans" here ;) have shared that perhaps I'll get lucky! lol Here it goes:

I had my LMP on October 8th-10th. Normal 2-3 day-er for me. The last time I BD'd was on the 16th...........then starting on the 24th I had light brown discharge when I used the restroom (sorry TMI)........which was quickly followed by light pink with a lot of CM. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is the whole "implantation" bleeding, and when it occurs. Like, how soon after you O does it usually happen? The discharge ended the following day, (25th), so I didn't really think too much of it. But now, I have to admit, the thought is makin me wonder! :)Not to mention the dizzy spells I've had for the past 4 days! haha

Thanks for your input and experiences............Here's to hoping for a long stay around here :) Baby dust, and BFP vibes to all of you wishin on the motherly star!

Nikki

Hello Ladies,

I have to say that I too have been experiencing what I seem to be thinking is implantation and here is why. I had my last period on Sunday october 1st and ended on Wednesday the 4th which is normal for me . I then began to have cramping in my lower abnomenal area around Sunday october 22nd accompained by nausea, headaches,fatigue, and frequent visits to the restroom these feelings remained and consistant throughout the work week and then on this past friday october 27th I went and brought a hpt I tested and it came out negative needless too say that a few hrs later I went to the rr and saw what I'm thinking is the begining of my period so I prepare myself for af an hour later I return to the rr and notice that af wasn't normal she was a light pink then turned to a brownish color and wasn't heavy at all like normal af this lasted fri evening through sun morning when she began to look as if she was going to return to her normal self she didn't she faded away. I'm just wondering if that was af just being irregular or if that was implantation bleeding and when do you'll think I should retest ? I'm still having the symptoms that I was expierencing before. So ladies please help me with this and I send a lots of baby dust to all of you.

If you don't get a BFP then there must be something wrong worth seeing your doc for with those symptoms--they sound so positive!! Ok, so if your AF is due on the 5th, then you could test around Wednesday....hmmmm.....LOL
The only thing going for me right now besides elevated temps is some weird CM (I figure we're beyond the TMI thing..LOL). Trying to figure out if I've got the beginnings of a yeast infection, though I haven't had one in probably ten years so don't remember what that feels like, or trying not to make that into a pg symptom. Yeah, and those sore BBs I keep saying is just left over from last cycle, so I'm not really counting that.
Wow, you have a lot more teasers than I do! It would be nice to be around someone pregnant rather than just babies, just because I went to breakfast this morning with a group of friends, and a 15 month old temper tantrum throwing little guy who woke up not feeling well; not always the best kind of teaser...LOL
Ok, going to get my little one dressed now that I'm home so he can go with me to pick up his bed. Need to help someone move today, make Halloween lollipops, adjust the costume a bit, give another friend a massage--yikes, maybe this staying busy stuff is getting out of hand...++++++++++++ to you!!!

Hi Tonia82...welcome to our obsession! ;)
Yep, your details definitely would confuse me too...everything I read says to wait a few days before testing again, so that HcG can build up if there is some in your system. Have you been on any bcp or anything similar? Sometimes that can really affect your cycles. If you end up with another negative test, you might want to consider talking to your doctor, maybe getting a blood test done? Especially if you keep having symptoms!! Those symptoms can definitely be those of pg, but of PMS too, unfortunately. Was Friday the last time you tested? If so, maybe you should try another today? Or with FMU tomorrow...just a thought!! Keep us posted--hope it turns out the way you want it to!

LOL @ welcome to our obsession! hehe Well......yeah........it's pretty appropriate to say! ;)
I know what you mean by staying busy.....I'm getting tired of finding more work for myself to do. And I say work because if I'm not doing anything that resembles a choir, I'll put it off and come surf the net about pregnancy stuff!!!! lol I think I've officially lost it! I've just been waiting for this moment for so long, (3 1/2 yrs with xhubby, and now 8 months with current hunnie) and I just pray that I will be able to experience it just once. :)Same with you no doubt :) I still got my fingers crossed for yours too now deary! lol Don't think you'll get off that easy! I know that good things come to those who wait, but whoever invented waiting obviously never had to do it! lol
The tantrum thing I can understand lol. My sister just turned 4 and has finally grown from whiny princess to quite the girly girl. lol I'm actually waitin for my bf to give me the call on her way home from her ultrasound today :) She asked me to be Aunt Nikki, and I cried! lol I know, stupid huh? I actually cried last night because my Mr. Wonderful wouldn't let me listen to my favorite song out in the garage! I came in the house, plopped on the couch, and started to cry saying "No one really cares what I want!". Like I said, i think I've lost it! lol
Have fun with the trick or treating........my neighborhood did that last night so it was fun. A lot of baby's first halloweens..........very adorable :)
Here's those Positive vibes comin right back atcha' ;)

HI, I read an article online about spotting when the egg is being fertilised as well and noone seems to have any idea what i am talking about except my mom,I only read up on it because I had a similar thing happen to me recently. I had my LMP the 12th July and then I only spotted the next cycle. That was on the 20th Aug I think, maybe a little later. So I went to the docs and he said its very unlikely and he was right, it was neg. Then 5 weeks of morning sickness and no period, proved the blood test wrong. It turns out i am pregnant. That put conception at about the same time i had spotting and i was not sexually active any other time during or after that so go figure!!! My doctor said the levels in my body were very low and it was hard to judge how far i was,but i have to believe what the ultrasound said, 11 weeks!(i am now 12 and a half)
I would just get tested as soon as you can and have an ultrasound done to check the size of your baby and they can tell you how far along you are.

With my first baby, I had a good menstrual cycle for the first 6 1/2 months. Then when It stopped, I went to the doctors and I nearly had a heart attack when I found out how far I was. So dont leave it too long, other wise you really dont get to enjoy your pregnancy!

WOW!!! Can't believe it turned out that way! :) Bet you had the biggest smile on your face after that, huh? lol
That's really great..........AF is due around the 8th, so I'm not-so-anxiously waiting to test........I won't do it now for fear of it not being accurate (i.c neg HPT when it really should be a positive). Thanx for the advice though re: getting to the doctor ASAP. I've heard so much about how important prenatal care is! :)
I only had the one incident of spotting, and since then I've just had mild cramping. Nothing too painful, nothing really that I'm obsessing over only because it really doesn't hurt. It's just uncomfortable really. Beyond that, just not feeling well, getting hot all the time, and the overall nausea feeling too! lol
I'm hoping that this is what I've been hoping for for so long.........only cuz I've never had that whole "spotting" thing before.
Thanx Again
Nikki

Thank you so much Leslie for the welcome. I too thought that these were all signs of my cycle and now that my cycle seemed to have vanished after 2 days of very light spotting, and one day of what I thought too be my cycle trying to regulate itself it never had the chance too because it's now gone into hiding ....so I think lol.

Today I still feel the cramping, nauseated, frequent potty breaks, hungry all the time can't seem to satisfy my craving,can't stand the smell of certain things without gaging...I also felt a flutter sensation in my lower abdomen last night while trying to go to sleep.....so ladies I will test again this weekend I'm trying to wait it out to see how long these symptoms last beofre I get my hopes up. Once again thanks ladies for the support and I wish you'll lots of baby dust mixed with sticky dust as well.

Tonia

wow, you have a 4 year old sister and you still want a baby?! You're going to be a great mom!! heehee
So, I think I told you bout the worry that I'm getting a yeast infection? Now I don't think that's what it is, but I think it's some kind of hormone fluctuation. Now, I know you're thinking I'm probably trying to see something too early and just going on hope (ok, that's partly true...LOL), but here's the other weird thing that's been happening: Now keep in mind that I just stopped nursing ds in August when he was 2 years 8 months, longer than I had planned on, but anyway...Night before last I was catching up on some Tivoed shows and felt my nipple get wet and cold, and sure enough there was just enough of a leak to make a tiny little circle. Odd, but wrote it off until I woke up this morning with a little larger circle where the same nipple had leaked. I mean, come on--I haven't leaked since August, so I have to assume it's hormones right?? LOL Anyway, just weird. Something I guess I can search futilely for on the net to see if it could possibly mean anything good. Anything happening with you??
Took ds trick-or-treating downtown but he hadn't taken a nap, so he was like a zombie for a lot of it. We would have gone home sooner but had a friend's six year old, too. He's zonked right now at 5:30, so maybe he'll wake up a little later and we can take him to a few houses. He's Woody this year..Can't wait to hopefully take a tiny one all dressed up in my arms next year........:)

Awww..........thanx Leslie! I hope I will have the chance to be the best mom I can be.......God(s) willing ;) Hmmm....interesting what's going on with you and all. I don't really have an advice on the whole hormonal changing thing. I was diagnosed with PCOS about a 1 1/2 ago, (finally a dr did tests on me!! lol), so I can relate to strange things happening every other month. I still got my fingers crossed for ya though girl! ;) We're in this one together......come rain or shine! :)
Sounds like you all had fun trick or treating. I had ssoo many kids here this year! This was actually my first year handing out candy (my parents religion), so I had a blast! AND not only was it my first halloween ever, but it was mine and Tim's (my captain america's name! lol), first halloween together too. So, it was extra special. He stayed out there with me the whole time, gauking at the lil kids, and the small babies all dressed up, and putting candy in their bags. It was the sweetest thing to see a grown man handing out candy like that! lol He has 3 children of his own actually, (18, 5 and 7 months), so I know he's not broken! rofl had to, sorry. haha But it was kinda' depressing bcuz seeing all these women with like 12 kids with em, and thinking of all the fun of a full house when mine is so empty.........and well, you see where that is going. Ever since Sunday I've been in a funk I guess. Just down on myself, and the lack of luck I've had for so long trying to be a mommy. I know in hind sight that bcuz of the divorce and all that my inability to become pregnant was actually a blessing in disguise......but still, I'm more than wanting to take my chances. Tim's a GREAT father, and he wants to have more. And I just wish that I, his other half, could bless him with such. Everyone tells me I will soon, but I'm starting to lose hope little by little. I guess I just realized that this cycle isn't any different than all the other cycles..........well, except for the discharge on the 23rd. :(
Sorry so long, and quite blah in nature..........but we've had ssoo much in common, I'd figure I'd reach out to you through cyberspace girl! :)
Hope everything's going well with you and yours leslie.........and save some candy for me too! ;) hehe

Yikes, it's taken me a long time to get back here, hasn't it?? LOL Since DH leaves next Thursday we're trying to cram everything in that we need to get done before he leaves, because he won't be home for Thanksgiving and I'll have a house full of people. Well, it's really not that many people, but in our small house it will seem like a lot!
Sounds like you had a blast on Halloween too!! I love all the tiny little kids dressed up. The only thing is that someone stole my son's tricycle on Halloween--one of those cute Radio Flyer retro things that he hasn't even really learned to ride yet. I haven't called the police dept yet cuz I keep forgetting until it's after hours and since it isn't an emergency, and I don't know if it's even worth filing an actual report. They probably won't find it and it doesn't have his name on it or anything.
So, what CD are you? Your AF is due around the 8th, right? I think I might test on Monday just cuz a friend told me today that she's pg, and she thought she was finished having kids--she has two beautiful girls and had decided that was enough for them. Guess not! I'd like to be pg at the same time she is, cuz that would be fun. Anyway, a group of us are meeting on Monday for coffee so she can tell all of us at once, so I have to act surprised. It would be nice if I could add my own news too...LOL I know it'll be impossible for me to not say anything if I am, but I really should wait until I've made it through the first trimester b/c of my m/c and all but they're great for support if I'd need it to, so I don't know. Anyway, I had just a little tiny bit of pink on my tp yesterday morning, would barely call it spotting, and my temps dipped and then shot up again yesterday, so my chart is a triphasic chart, so at least that all looks good. The funny thing is that I'm not quite so SURE that I am, or maybe I'm just not getting my hopes up or something. Anyway, dh is home with groceries, so gonna go help unload! Cya!
