Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie,

Can you pls read my msg with the title Cramps that I posted on Fri. My cramps basically subsised over the weekend and again started today mrng. When I went to the bathroom in the morng I found light colour blood wen I wiped with the tissue. Could this be implation bleeing or maybe starting of my period... I am not having any other symptoms ...What do you think shd I take another preg test today or shd I wait till Fri/Sat...Pls advise when you get a chance...Thanks Neha

I'm from May2006 Due Date board. Same thing happened with me..I generally had cramps before my periods but in Aug I didn't have them. My expected period date was 30th Aug. On 29th when I wiped i saw one blood drop and that too was pink. After that I didn't have anything for next two days ..So I tested on 1st sep(didn't have more patience) and it came +ve.

So in ur case also it might come +ve...Just stay calm and relax and even if it doesn't don't loose ur heart...There is always next time.

Good Luck and hopefully u'll be in the due date board very very soon.

anu replied. Hi,
I agree with archie.You would have passed your implantation stage by now but how is the bleeding pattern now? Is it going from light to dark or staying light cause if it is your implantation bleeding it would continue to stay light & scanty & if it is ur periods it will become dark & heavy.Also you have not mentioned your last menstrual date?
And lastly stop worrying.Relax!!!Take rest as archie advised.I would suggest repeating the test after one week of the previous test.Best option-a visit to your doc for a blood hCG to confirm preg if you r still feeling very restless about the whole thing.It will totallly confirm the whole thing i suppose.But again this is if ur bleeding does not progress to your period pattern & your urine preg test stays negative after the second time.
stay cool & relaxed.take care.

you would have passed your implantation stage and therefore hopefully what you experienced is not likely be an implantation.

Just with cervical mucus it is not easy to count on ovulation either. I take your words for granted though.

I would recommend a bed rest if you until you bleed, which is your period and if you don't bleed the bed rest would help your embryo to keep in happy phase. drink lot of water and do not do work until you comfirm the spotting is stopped or it's gone to normal blood flow.

it's normal to see fluctuating cycle when ttc.
