My implantation story
Wed, 10-01-2003 - 9:17am
Hi there!

I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant and just thought I'd share my implantation story with anyone who's interested.

I too had read that implantation happens anywhere from 6 - 10 days after ovulation. When I was at approximately 20 days after ovulation I had a few days of light brownish discharge. It totally freaked me out, but in retrospect I now wonder if it was implantation spotting. I always figured if you had spotting, it would be at the time of implantation, but now I suspect it can happen later ("brown" spotting indicates old blood that has just taken its time to work its way out of the womb). I may be totally wrong of course, but this is what I suspect.

I was always looking for implantation spotting at 7 dpo and there wasn't a sign of anything around that time. Just thought it might help anyone hunting for spots to know that it may be possible that it won't happen until long after you already know you're pregnant.

I had another bout of similar spotting a week or so later that I now suspect may have been placental attachment. I'm not sure, but again, that's what I suspect. Granted, I'm trying to assign causes so I don't totally freak out, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I thought I'd share.

(((HUGS))) and good luck to all!
