Has anyone had heavy implantation bleeding?

Hi B. It can take a year for your body to get used to coming off any form of contraception properly. Maybe it is your body trying to get back to normal? This happened to a friend of mine - she thought her periods were back after being off the pill for 3 months, but then she got continual spotting and random bleeding for another 3 months. She has now been off the pill for 10 months and finally seems to have something resembling a normal cycle.
Hope that helps.

Thank you . . . I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Hi "Guest"! I guess you are on CD 31 today? Your symptoms look promising! You might just be one of those women whose HCG takes a while to show up on Hpts! Me for instance am on CD 47 today with implantation bleeding at the "right time" , BFNs and no AF yet!

Im still waiting trying not to lose my mind! Never had AF that late before so dunno what the deal is yet! Though ive heard a lot of my aunts and friends say that it took them about 10-15 days from the date thier period was due to get a positive on the Hpt.I hope that helps. If you still dont get a result 2 weeks post your period due date it is advisable to see a doctor for a quantitative blood test / check up.

PS: Like you , I have the sore throat and nasty cold too right now and mild headaches since last week and that seems to be a symptom of early pregnancy with many women getting their positives about after a week of experiencing this. Apparently the cold and headaches are from the rising hormones, increase in blood volume and all sorts of mucouses during pregnancy, and the body lowering its immune system so it does'nt take the implanted embryo to be an intruder! So there is still hope!:) Good luck and baby dust to you and everyone else here!:)

Thanks twinkle. That's what I was wondering. It all just seems really strange. I've been off the pill before when I was younger and this didn't happen. I thought I'd gotten pregnant straight away after I didn't get my period after 1month and now again I'm thinking the same, but it just seems like it will never happen! What about all my other symptoms? I seem to have lost my appetite too and thinking about some food makes me feel so sick, but then I, craving fish which I never ever eat. I'm so confused!

Forgot to sign off the last post with b...

but thanks other guest, I think the cold does seem weird, it's not actually like a cold is that the same with you? It's mainly stuffy in the morning and headaches and sore throat the rest of the day and I don't want to eat very much either unless its certain foods!

Hi All! The above post to "guest" was me. Dunno why it didnt take my name and posted as guest! sorry about the confusion!

BTW anyone else also notice how all of a sudden as soon as you start TTC your periods go all whacky for some reason!?

Hi B! yea my cold started with a horrible sore throat and stuffy nose in the mornin.....now its full blown and crazy drippy nose since the last 3 days! Never had it this bad!:-/ and im usually the one at home who never catches a cold! and i woke up the other night to grab a snack at 2am! so unlike me!:-0 lol

Hope we all get our BFPs!:) keep us posted! Tk care!

Hi tamara! I have the weird feeling in the belly too! a little below my belly button on the left side deep inside. It feels kinda tight but not sore and when i lie on my right side i can feel some sort of slight tugging at that point and that tugging goes once i turnover and lay on my left! kinda weird!:-s

Hi ,

I finally managed to create an account to avoid confusion about my posts. this is the person signing off with B before on my other posts

so do you think that a cold/sore throat is maybe a symptom? I'm also having that tugging feeling that you mentioned, really deep inside and mine is also on the left side, which is why I was worried this morning when it was more of a sharp pain and felt like it was more in my back than my belly, but then the tugging has continue today, there's also a weird pressure feeling in the middle really low, although I'm not sure if I'm imagining half these things ! 

 

 

ahhh well last night I was almost in tears with pain of how my breast hurt laying on them. I've never had this... hmm.

Hi Bee88! I definitely think the cold/ sore throat can be a promising symptom for the reasons i mentioned in the earlier post. It makes sense that the body naturally re-adjusts to create a safe environment for the new embryo inside.Else if it didnt lower your immunity, the embryo might well be mistaken for a "new threat in the body" and be subject to attack by our natural defense mechanisms right? Also the increase in blood volume and increasing fluids in our body during pregnancy aggravates the cold.

Lowering of immunity is cited as a reason as to why a lot of women are prone to illness during pregnancy. Also people with Autoimmune disorders seem to feel better for the same reason during pregnancy due to the lowered immunity which makes thier immune systems stop attacking whatever it was attacking in the body previously.

Ive been reading up on this and a lot of women seem to have experienced this out of the blue cold during their first trimesters. So hopefully its the same with us:) *fingers crossed* Im feelin pressure in the lower belly too. My stomach is soooo bloated and tight right now that the other day an acquaintance who doesnt even know we are TTC asked me if i was carrying:-0 I mean i better be carrying if i have a belly:p lol

hi peace, thanks for all that information, seems to make sense to me! i hope that's what's happening with us! last night i felt so ill! had a 7 hour headache which has never happened before, and felt like i was going to pass out! then this morning i feel fine, just back to a stuffy nose and sore throat! the cramps have changed, it hurts now when i move around too suddenly.

Take care and get lots of rest! Im doing orange juices and soups for my cold; scared to take tylenol/ sudafed as of now coz ive heard its not so safe before 12 weeks. There seem to be mixed reviews about this anyway. Hope you feel better soon! Take care!

First day of last period was Jan.29-Feb.4. I was with my husband sexually for the whole week Feb.10-17th. My expected period was supposed to be Feb.26th. But I went to washroom yesterday and when I wiped.. light blood. I was shocked cause its 4 days early... I'm never early like that my cycles go 28days... It's not a normal flow cause I'm usually extra heavy... Usually go thrrough like10tampons a day... But only went through like . 4 and not filling them up because I change every few hours... Usually I'm like crippledand have to stay home because the flow so heAvy. But worked last night with no problems.... I'm Hoping I'm pg. Please give me hope...

Wishing you lots of luck Ash!! Sounds very promising!! Just dont test too early. I highly recommend that you wait a week past your expected af due date, atleast! I feel like testing too early really screwed me up. And I waited until the day my period was due, but didnt come. I had spotting, and still havent gotten af.
Lots of luck to u all!! Xoxo
