Hi Morgan! In addition to what TurtleLove said, most implantation bleeding comes without any period like cramps which helps distinguish it from AF to some extent. Check this out:

And yea it helps to wait out before you test too. 10-15 days after your period due date is when most Hpts are able to detect the amount of HCG in the urine. So hang in there! Its gonna be fine!:) *baby dust to you* tk care.
Does anyone else have really dry skin? I have no idea if its related in any way, but my skins never been this dry! It's all over, but in patches and its pretty bad on my face, but then I also have more spots than usual. I've always suffered with them on my chin but there's more and I have them on my chest too! I feel so attractive right now !
Bee88!!! This is crazy weird! I have the same thing too since the last 3- 4 days! Im clueless as to if it has anything to do with the baby! Ive heard about acne showing up etc from harmonal changes, but im not sure abt dry skin though! But its really weird coz my skin is NEVER so dry! and in patches and its pretty bad on my face too like yours!:-0 and its just been the face so far!
I keep it v clean too and well moisturised throughout the day and have never had this before! its pretty dry no matter how much water I drink or how much lotion I slather on during the day! I dont think its the weather coz my skin has been fine in much colder weather! You seem like my symptom twin! lol :D
B! I just googled this up now and voila! dry flaky skin does seem to be a symptom! I dont want to get my hopes too high for now though! I just want to see the BFP.

This is crazy peace! I never get dry skin either. I was thinking it might be because its got cold here again but then I never had this over the last 2 months, which were colder. And it's mostly over my nose, which is usually pretty oily. I'm moisturising 3 times a day maybe more and it's still dry! And drinking more water than usual because of my sore throat, so I just don't understand it! I have dry arms and legs too, and they are itchy like I'm allergic to my clothes but I'm pretty sure I'm not. Thanks for the link, it was good to read that it could be related to pregnancy!
I know what you mean, I don't want to keep looking into everything and then be disappointed, but it's so tempting when things like this happen which aren't normal for me! Can't wait to test, but I know I have to to be sure!
so today, i'm having light cramping a week before my expected period. (exactly 7 days). hopefully i don't get my period a week early like last time which got my hopes up. my stomachs in a bunch of jumbles right now. not intense like period pains but slight cramping. my husband also said my breast look fuller but that might've been an excuse just to touch them (rolls eyes) lol. i don't know whether to believe him or not since he also mentioned my stomachs looking a little fuller too. who knows.
how close is everyone to testing? guess i have 7 more days...
@Bee88- I know! I so hope its from having our little bean in there! How are you doing today?
@morgan415- sounds good morgan!:) baby dust to you! hope you get your bfp soon! <3
@xotamara- what calendar day are you on since your LMP? are you counting the last early bleeding a week before your period due date as IB/ MP?
So here is what happened yesterday - had some v mild cramping sensation at the point where i usually feel tugging on the left below my belly button last evening. Then I had this pin streak of dried blood late last night when I wiped and nothing after that! Im kinda worried now wondering if i brought it on from coughing too hard. I know its silly:( Did any of you experience this too?
Summary: CD52 today(week8) with IB on CD19-21(6-7dpo)
Spotting:
Week 6 to 7: light pink and brown spotting for 6 days
Week 8(CD51): dried pin streak trace of blood when wiped last night
All the above spotting was just enough to be noticeable when wiped, it never got on my liner. Could it be from the embryo burrowing in deeper? its frustrating I have'nt got my BFP yet:( I just soo want to cry right now:(
Hi,
Peace stay positive!
Im ok today, I woke up feeling loads better actually and I just have 'sniffles' now. I did wake up with two new huge spots on my face, one on my cheek and the other on my nose, where I never ever get spots. But my skin is still veryyy dry. I also had a few bad vivid dreams last night, and I just couldn't sleep properly. I looked up vivid dreams and of course, it's another thing that has happened to women in early pregnancy, but I'm trying not to read anything into it. But it was really bad, I woke up thinking that my OH was actually dying!! He wondered why I was hugging him so much lol. Hopefully no more of those!
Hope everyone is feeling ok and stay positive!

@xotamara- thats how ive counted my current cycle too. I had first thought it to be IB but after all negatives following it, have assumed it was my LMP in Jan. Wonder why our bodies think its funny to play such jokes! Thanks for your support and kind words. I cried all I could this morning and feeling a little better now. Keep us posted on your symptoms and try not to give in and test too early. tc *fingers crossed for you* <3
@Bee88- Thanks B! <3 Im still having the dry skin too and funnily the dreams as well! strangely vivid dreams ! some that leave me so upset on waking up feeling it all actually happened. I know! I try but I cant stop the googling up symptoms too! wish we all had a msg appearing on our hands or soemthin each time we ovulate/get pregnant, so we would'nt have to go through all this suspense!
i don't know what to think at this point... my period is supposed to come in 6 days according to my calendar and i've been having really light cramping... this is pretty gross and a little TMI, but just a few seconds i felt myself really wet down there, so i touched myself to see what the mucus is like as I always like to compare for future reference on what I was feeling like and instead on my hand i had some unexpected REALLY watery brown blood?? i immediately ran to the bathroom and i wiped and it's pure brown on the toilet paper. could this be IB?! i don't want to get my hopes up because last time it was similiar and a week early but this one is really watery and different than the last with the cramping feel. ahhhhh. please mother nature, don't play with me.
tamara, it could be IB. Looks like you dont have period like cramps and considering its just the right time for implantation this could be it!!!:) wait, watch and update!:)
