Implantation bleeding 7DPO, -HPT

I had what I thought was implantation bleeding at 7DPO. Never had this before, been pg 5 times (1 birth). I got my hopes up but I have had no pg symptoms which I usually do get. I tested at 10 DPO with FRE which was a BFN, I have also been using opk's since 6DPO. They started getting darker but still as of today (11 DPO) the test line is still not as dark as the control line so I'm seriously doubting that I am pg. My question is why did I have implantation bleeding and no pg? And if it wasn't implantation what was it? Mind you it was very little bleeding, but very pink and on tp for about 2 hrs. I also doubt a chemical pg, have had 2 of those with most recent being last month, plus hpt would have at least been faint I would think. TIA for any suggestions you may have.

Hi, Sheila. I'm sorry about the BFN. I've had more than my share of those, so I can empathize. As for the bleeding, I had something similar 2 cycles ago. I've never, ever had mid-cycle spotting (and I've been at this for 10 months now and off BCP for 13, so I've had quite a few cycles) and on that cycle I had light pink spotting on the TP on the morning of 9 DPO lasting for about 3-4 hrs. I was CONVINCED I was pregnant, but temps dropped and AF showed. I asked my Ob/Gyn about it later and he said that usually that is caused by a little cervical irritation (for whatever reason) and if you've had a recent normal Pap and aren't at risk for STDs, then it's nothing to worry about. However, all that being said, I wouldn't give up hope completely. Even with all of your pregnancies, each one is different and I've seen more than one BTDT mom here say that she KNEW she wasn't pregnant when she was. As they say, it ain't over 'til AF shows. I hope she doesn't and that you get the surprise of a lifetime. GL!
