I'm on day 51 of my FIRST cycle off Birth Control. I had a lot of EWCM on 27, and 28 of Sept.

Friday, Oct 10th I thought I finally started my period. My period usually starts with a day of brownish spotting and then picks up, but the evening of Oct 10th, There was NO spotting left, and nothing since then except the tiniest amount of pink on the 11th.

I'm wondering if this could have been implantation bleeding. How long should I wait before I can expect a BFP?

Since my cycle has been so wacky this month, I have no idea what is going on with my body :P

hi! the experts say to test 2-4 days after spotting. 5 years ago, i had impl. bleeding at 13 dpo, and finallly got a BFP at 15 dpo, so it sounds about right! GL!!

Thanks! I figured it would be about 2-4 days for the hormones to pick up :) It's nice to receive other's opinions. I've had so many BFNs this time because of my whacky cycle.
