has anyone experienced anything like this??

i o'ed on aug. 7 or 8. on cd26, aug. 15th, i start to spot brown blood. a tiny amount- like a dime size a day- for 3 days. and today, day 29, everything stops! there's no more blood. hpt this morning was negative. is this a period? if so, why would it come so early and be so short? i'm so worried that i have a hormonal imbalance. i know i have to wait to test or wait until a heavy period arrives.

has anyone spotted a few days before af was due only to find out that they were pregnant??????????

thank you for any thoughts!

Yeah, a ton of people spot like that, its called implantation bleeding. It happens when the fertilized egg burrows into your uterus (sounds pleasant, huh?) It COULD be break through bleeding, or it could be implantation bleeding. Good luck!!

Yep. Happened to me and now we have a sweet three year old. It was implantation spotting for me. Only noticed it when I wiped. Thought it was AF for sure, but it went away. Give yourself another couple of days and test again.

Good luck!

AS a nurse I have never heard of the pre-pregnancy spotting being brown, but light pink-red. But it could be different for you. Sorry, don't won't to be the bearer of bad news.

This is the exact same thing my SIL did when she was TTC#2 but she was still have PMS symptoms after she had been spotting for two days. Did your PMS sympt go away when the spotting started? She also took a HPT and got a neg, but after 2 days the sympt were still there, so, she went to the dr. and they did a blood test. And she finally got the BFP she had been hoping for! Maybe this will help some! Sooo much luck and baby wishes to you!!

YES!!! It is called implantation bleeding (or breakthrough bleeding). I assumed I have a lite AF and on the next month, I kept checking and did not see a thing! I found out later that I was PG. A friend of mind had it for the first two months and nothing on the third and was more that half way through her first trimester!

Hope it's good news for you!

thank you very much, everyone, for your thoughts. of course i'm hoping that i'm pregnant, but i've learned not to get my hopes up! all spotting stopped on sunday evening and i have no bleeding at all now, cd 30. i have been as late as 32 days in the past so i'm going to wait until thurs. to test again. it's so encouraging to talk to others who have been through this. thankyouthankyouthankyou and best of luck to everyone who is ttc!
