Has anyone had heavy implantation bleeding?

Hi TurtleLove!

I've heard about more cum being an early sign. I hope you are pregnant with your lil one!:) <3......Though I have the same question now! Wondering if its my own cum or remnants of the do from the night before:-s I know its eww! but Id like to know if there is a way to tell for sure too even though we have been doing it on alternate days throughout the month.

Thanks ladies. Well..af is due today. Hubby got home late last night and wanted to have sex, which I'm not one to turn down his offer..lol. So right at the end, he says.."ut oh..I have some bad news"..sure enuff, there was blood. I cried myself to sleep last night, needless to say.
But, this morning, I haven't had a trace of blood!?! What is going on??
Have any of you heard of this happening?
*I had a bad day yesterday..where my anxiety level got high, anticipating af coming today. And just got overwhelmed thinking about another month down with no positive result. So i spoke with my pc doctor, who works right in my office with me, and he said..don't bother with the stress level nonsense, getting pregnant involves scientific facts..more sperm to one egg will result in a higher likelihood of conceiving. He said to just have sex every other day or everyday. Made me feel better going crazy truing not to think about the "pink elephant".

Hi guys

 

Any updates? I am really hoping that any of you who are lucky enough to fall pregnant come back and post about it - we need closure on these symptoms! @Turtlelove - what happened with your bleeding? Was it AF, or something more exciting...? (fingers crossed for you!)

 

I did the POAS thing to test my ovulation, and sure enough, it seems like I was actually ovulating a couple of days later than average. It was actually starting to freak me out, the packet suggests you might get a fainter line than the control line but I got NOTHING - absolutely clear and empty, apart from the control line. It made me think maybe there was something wrong - but then on Monday, hey presto, I got a good strong test line - and then another equally strong on Tuesday! I looked at a few sites and medical papers etc that said the day after peak LH day is when you actually ovulate (which I guess is the difference between the sticks and the thermometer), but then you should ideally have sex 12 hours before ovulation, so it's a bit of a mathematical challenge! We've been doing the BD every day, to be on the safe side, and then if I get a fainter line today I guess it's clear that the peak was reached yesterday.

 

It's funny, because it's actually more complicated than some of the websites make it sound - certainly not just a question of getting a positive line and then going for it! (though they all agree that if your man is okay in terms of his count, more is more!) I hadn't realised about CM too, that the "peak" day, which is actually the day of ovulation, is the last day of increased/stretchy/clear CM, and may be a day when you actually have less CM than before - it's just the last day before it suddenly drops off a lot more. So it's a bit like measuring your temperature - it can be hard to tell, because only when it drops afterwards was it clear that that was the peak!

 

We're going to continue on for a bit longer, just in case the tests are inaccurate or we got the timing wrong - I don't know, I feel simultaneously very hopeful and then also like it is very silly to be hopeful...

 

Oh - one more thing (TMI) - has anyone had diarrhea at/a few days just after the time of ovulation? Today I suddenly had awful diarrhea three times (and I never normally do - hadn't eaten anything unusual either - we had the same dinner and lunch and my husband is fine). Nasty sudden cramps too, but then that's always the way with the runs. I usually get it (if at all) in the lead up to my period, so now I'm wondering whether it has any hormonal link? I googled (of course ;-)) and the only thing that came up was that women who take progesterone supplements sometimes get diarrhea as a side effect. So maybe it's just the increase in progesterone involved in ovulation - but I never normally get it mid-cycle, and certainly never this full on, it's awful!

hey ladies I know it's been awhile. I haven't posted because I decided to stop thinking about it but I came back to let you all know I am pregnant. my period was late by 4 days. I had mild abdomen cramping. terrible headaches, sore boobs and back pain and I decided to take one today and sure enough. I found that not thinking about it helped the process even though that's easier said than done. any questions ladies please let me know until then I will be reading your guys updates and praying for you all. :)

I forgot to mention I also had a lot of CM. Any questions feel free to ask. I'm still in shock.

Oh my gosh congratulations!!!!! That is such good news, well done to you and your partner!!!

 

I totally agree re not focussing on it too much - it really does your head in, all the waiting and wondering, and if it is totally normal for it to take several months then it would be silly to "waste" all that time worrying about "am I? aren't I?" rather than living our lives. Still, it's so much easier said than done!

 

In fact, one of things that has made it hard for me to stop worrying about it is thinking about potential symptoms/absence of symptoms. For example - this month, since just after ovulation I have had constant mild nausea (very mild, but kind of insistent - and not something I'd normally have). I'm still six days from my expected period, but it's been driving me mental thinking that it might be a "sign". Of course, it might just as easily be something else entirely... I feel like - if I know that it's too early to get any symptoms, I can just chalk it up to some other thing - but the possibility that it is an early symptom is making me focus on hoping for a good result way too much.

 

On the other hand, I've also been worried about the absence of some symptoms - for example, everyone says sore, full breasts are a strong sign, and mine feel totally normal. But then maybe that's usual, and early symptoms (as in, pre-expected period) are actually phantom symptoms.

 

So my question is: when did you start feeling sore breasts/headachey etc? After ovulation/fertilisation? Or not until likely implantation? Or not until after your period was due?

 

Obviously, not everyone is the same...but it seems like such a useful piece of information to hear from others, since so much of our stress and anxiety goes on worrying about symptoms - and then wondering whether we should be experiencing symptoms at all!

thank you. :) to answer your question I just KNEW I was pregnant one day as weird as that sounds. I was four days late on my period however on one calendar it said I still had one day to go. (my periods weren't exactly regular one month I had a period twice) and last month was the first month my period seemed to be straightening out so every app told me a different day of when my period was supposed to come. as I was driving I felt my boobs a bit tender and my back was hurting and I had this incredible headache like no other. it didn't feel like a normal headache so I decided to get a pregnancy test and sure enough! so if I'm going in accordance with two Of my calendar apps I experienced it all four days after pregnancy. so far according to everything I am 4 weeks and 6 days. it's funny because I'm sure everyone worries so much about getting pregnant but let me tell you the worry doesn't stop because now I'm worried about a miscarriage. every sign freaks me out since this will be my first pregnancy/baby. I'm trying to not think about it and hopefully as much as it took to create a baby will be as much as it will be to carry him/her through these 9 months. :) anymore questions please feel free to ask. oh the only other symptom I had was several days prior to that my head hurt but ONLY on the right side. it was also nothing like I've felt before and certainly didn't feel anything like a usual headache. if you feel different chances are you ARE pregnant. all the symptoms I used to feel are no comparison to how different my symptoms were when I actually was.

Xo! Congrats! So happy for you! Thank you for coming back to us and letting us know of your BFP! Certainly made my day and its wonderful that we now have you to ask questions. Thank you again for coming back to us. It's odd because last month I had two periods too. Both were real light then this month AF came 42 days after second, 2 day light AF. So frustrating! Figure that I'm not ovulating because this is all too crazy. My mood is just so down about it all that I told Hubby I didn't even want to try anymore. After 5 months, I just can't think about it and feel like its not my time. I know some women who try for years and you are all so amazing! I just can't keep feeling like something is wrong with me. But in my heart of hearts, we will take it a day at a time and what is meant to be will be. Best of luck to you all, my good friends through these trials

@xotamara- !!! Congratulations hon! Thats great news! so happy for you!<3....sorry for wishin u so late! for some reason Im not gettin updates on my mail anymore when someone posts here:-s Thanks for keepin us posted. Its wonderful news! I pray you have a healthly and safe pregnancy throughout! Just out of curiosity, did you guys do anyhitn different while TTC that month? We had a chemical pregnancy and now back to TTC, if it doesnt work this month, will see a specialist. Hope the rest of you girls too get your BFPs soon! Take care. Love and *hugs

Hey Tobi! *hugs I know how that feels! Ive been all ready to give up on the hopin too. Its tough but youl come out of it just fine, with your lil bean in there soon i pray!:) Love n hugs*

thank you guys. :) & no. we did not do anything different other than I stopped thinking about it. I started telling myself "I'm glad we waited now I can start my masters program" and boom!! haha. I'll still get my masters just now it'll be a bit longer but that's okay!! other than that I can't think of anything different we did. I suppose it's like people say when you stop thinking about it... it happens. I stopped visiting this forum and tried to change my mind to other stuff and it became an "okay I'm glad we waited thing" and then it happened. lol things work in mysterious ways!!

Maaan. Im going insane and I wish I knew the outcomes of some of the stories on here :) My husband and I only just made the decision last month to stop being careful in the hopes of conceiving and I've had some weird symptoms similar to those others have posted on here. Basically I haven't tracked my cycle at all, but knew my period was due around this week. The past week I've been exhausted, despite working relatively little and been nauseated at regular intervals. Late Saturday night I started getting spotting on toilet paper that was a brownish color and assumed I wasn't pregnant. I had some mild cramps in my abdomen, but I thought they felt different to normal. By mid morning Sunday I removed my pad as there was only a tiny bit of bleeding being caught in it and it didn't change throughout the day. However This morning (Monday) I woke up to find slightly stronger cramps and a stronger flow of bright, red blood. I know that sounds like just a regular period, but I never, ever spot (I'm 27) and usually have a very heavy flow for the first two days - filling multiple pads per day etc. Even now, mid morning on my second day the flow is stronger but still much, much lighter than usual. Maybe what I would expect on the Fourth day of menstration? Anyone have similar stories and experiences as this? Should I still hold out any hope or does it sound like my period is just doing something weird? Also - I think it is too early for me to test. 

So thankful I stumbled on this post!!!  Sounds like I'm not the only one going through the craziness.

I've had spotting / light flow that only last half an hour or so for the last 5 days straight.  Headaches, cramps, back pain, nausea all the time for the last few days too.  I'm still Breast feeding partly and even managed to wake up in the middle of the night soaked through from a let down.

Saw the dr today and she just did another poas (had already had a -ve at home) and said I wasn't pregnant but couldn't explain the symptoms.  I posted in another forum asking the same question and only had one person reply saying it sounded to heavy to be possible.

AF could be due any time now, stopped BC 26 days ago.

Shall wait it all out for a week and test again if things don't change.

It's always nice to discover you're possibly not as crazy as you think you are!!!

I had very heavy with clots bleeding for 4 days when I was pg with both my babies and they are both fine 1 12yrs and 1 1yr old don't know if it was implantation but I remember having weird not normal period cramps they sort of felt fuzzy Lol just before the bleeds

before I became pregnant I had similar symptoms to you guys that turned up to be negative. (don't get your hopes up though!!) I think it's our bodies way of knowing we want to get pregnant so they give pregnancy like symptoms. when my husband and I tried my periods would be extremely different than normal and I always thought I was pregnant to find out I wasn't the moment we stopped trying is the moment it happened. your body does weird things and tricks you a lot but that's not to say to give up hope. just don't read into every sign (like I used to) because it leads to more disappointment. I found just not thinking about it helped the most as hard as it may be but the anxiety of you worrying about your symptoms could also cause pregnancy to take longer because like I said the moment I kinda "gave up" and stopped worrying about what symptoms seemed like it I became pregnant. there is hope!!
