pink vs. brown spotting

I am 99% sure this is AF's calling card, but I want to ask anyway.

I am on CD26, 10DPO. I DO usually spot for a couple days before AF, but it's usually brown. This month it is light pink (sorry, TMI!!!!). I would like to think it's implantation bleeding, but could it be this late? And would it be pink?

My temps are high yet, but they don't usually fall until AF has arrived full force.

Any help appreciated,

Amy,

Yes, I have heard that implementation takes place about 7-10dpo so you're right in there. Was it just one day of spotting and was it only on the tissue and not in your panties? When is af due, how many days from now? Do you have any other symptoms at all? Cramping, sore bb's, creamy cm, fatigue,,,,anything else to accompany this spotting? Could be af coming if you spot normally but then again, 10dpo is for sure a sign. Can you post your chart (if you use FF) so I can peek at your temps?

Hi Julie,

I'm posting my chart below. AF is due Friday or Saturday. So far this pink spotting has been on TP ONLY. And VERY light. Yesterday I had a horrible headache most the day along with being lightheaded, and today I am just lightheaded. I don't know what to think...do you have any thoughts?

Amie,

Well you definately Oed on cd 16 thats for sure, nice high temp jump on cd 17--impressive I must say and you're temps are consistantly above coverline and high. Looks real promising to me! Do you have any of the creamy cm I was referring to in my previous post? I just told a girl on this board (named Jenn, I know there are tons of Jenn's) but anyways, she gave me her symptoms and sure enough I told her I was 100% sure she was pg and she took a test 12dpo and it was a bfp. I've been pg before, a long time ago but none the less, I know most of all the pg signs you get.

The spotting sounds promising if it was on the tissue only and very light. How many day (s) did you have it, one or two? You never mentioned sore bb's at all, any part of them sore? That does not always need to be a clear sign but usually by now at 10dpo you'd have some senseitivity on the nipps or surronding area. Besides what you listed below, are these all the symptoms you have? Looking at your previous chat attached to the current one, you had a HUGE temp drop right before af came and your chart now has a little bit of a dip but not like last month on cd 26 but if your temp from here on out continues to go down than sadly enough, you're probably not pg but af will come.

You and I have a few things in common too: I am 29, my dh is 30 and we've also been ttc #1 since July this year. Were you on bcp's at one time? I was on the for 11 yrs. and got off in March this year and my cycle are regular now but long (34 days) but on the 34th day each month af comes but hopefully not this month. I am on clomid days 4-8, 100mg due to not Oing every single month and instead of waiting and wasting time, my doc said try these to ensure you O every single month. We'd LOVE to be pg this month as would everyone else ttc right? We should stay in touch while we're both ttc but hopefully you hit it this month... please let me know if you test, you could test now and maybe get a faint positive. Good Luck..

PS. where do you and dh live? We're from MI.

Hi Julie!

Thank you for your response! My temp is back up again today - I just don't know what to think. I am still spotting, and it's pink, but once was red. Just on TP at this point. However I do know that my mom spotted throughout her 5 pregnancies around each time AF was due. So that gives me some hope. It might be a genetic thing I suppose.

For the last 2 days I felt off and on lightheaded with a headache. Today I feel fine. No other ailments that I could call symptoms.

We are from MI too! :-) Can you post your chart too? Mine is below.

Thanks!
