Hey Mamas,

I have a stupid question, but I still am curious. Not really something I can google, so I thought I'd just post this.

If you had implantation spotting with a healthy pregnancy, what did it look like?

I never had it with my girls, but I was also in my 20s then. With the losses we've had, I had it once and it was brown and very slight, and on 12-13dpo, but then I had a m/c a few weeks later.

And not to get anyone excited, but yesterday, at 10dpo, I had some red stuff with a tiny bit of matter (sorry), but just once in the evening before bed. I thought, great, I started my period super early and now have progesterone issues to top it all off, but I haven't had any more today at all. I never have had red spotting.

Any thoughts? Not trying to get my hopes up, just curious if anyone had that.

THANKS! xxoo

Woo-hoooo!!!! I've got my hopes up for you!!!! :p
I've had some spotting with this pregnancy, I thought it was implantation spotting ( maybe it was?) but it lasted for a week or so, some red and pinkish spotting. Didn't have it in previous pregnancies.

It was really just a spotting, but I was super worried, of course. Rainbowflower said that was a good sign ( spotting, not worrying lol!) and that means baby was nicely settling in :)

I had something like that with DS1... Don't remember about DS2 but I think it was pinkish and #3 was pink not brown.

Well, I'm trying not to be hopeful, but it was weird, and on 10dpo, so it did get me a little interested. I do have a few cramps here and there also, so it very well could be my new and unimproved crappy cycle doing something odd again.

I'm ten weeks along in this pregnancy (my fourth). This was the first time I had implantation spotting. It was around 10DPO and it was brownish streaks for a day and a half. I was taking baby aspirin for implantation. Good luck to you.

I can't remember whether I had implantation spotting with one or two of mine (my memory is shocking at the moment!) but the time I remember was at work and I had a small amount of red blood and only once on wiping - which sounds similar to what you had. I know you don't want to raise your hopes so I'm trying to contain myself here but I have everything crossed for you as always x

Thanks for all the input ladies! I am not getting my hopes up, but I have never had that before. It was just like girlmom and zanacal's with some bright red only once. I am having some cramps and such, so who knows.

And I'm gonna test in the morning, which I NEVER do, just to indulge us all!

OOooo EXCITING!!! :D
With my first son it was literally a spot of red on the TP when I wiped.
With son #2 it was a huge smear of pale reddish brown blood. Then one more wipe, then gone.
I didn't get a positive on a HPT until 10 days later after the bleeding.
Wait 3-5 days then test! :)

Nope, just 12dpo and going to test tomorrow. I've been ttc for nearly 2 years, so I don't test anymore. I just wait for AF, but I have had a few months where I got my hopes up and did test, but I will never do it at like 10dpo or anything, only 13dpo at the earliest.

I'm a little crampy off and on, but no more red, that was just that one time a couple of days ago. There are tiny amounts of light brown here and there, but nothing substantial. But seriously, not getting my hopes up!!!!

Well, I think it's just early AF. I've had more spotting now, and it is the "first AF" kind and I have some cramps, but I'm only 12dpo....don't usually start AF until 14dpo. My cycles are wack now all of the sudden!!!!!!

oh man!!! darn this evil AF! arghhh!!!

On a side note though, do you by any chance have thyroid issues? I recently got diagnosed with Hypo and your cycle is a LOT like my usual cycles....I am having trouble getting pregnant too because of these issues...

Don't give up hope yet! There can be cramping with a BFP!

Thanks, guys. I appreciate everyone's support! OP, I didn't have any when I was last tested about a year ago. At that time, my doc tested everything, including all of the acquired clotting disorders, and I checked out ok. She did give me a scrip for progesterone suppositories because, well, I asked for it. She didn't mind, they can't hurt. My prog level was ok, on the low side of ok really. I have a feeling I need to start taking them again. I'm actually thinking about asking her for prometrium.....I HATE using a vag suppository during the day when it leaks all over the place.
