Pink/reddish/Brown Spotting 7dpt 5dt and now 8dpt 5dt 😔

Hi Warriors

I went to the bathroom yesterday afternoon after a walk and there was pink discharge when I wiped. Nothing on my underwear but then when I went to the bathroom before bed it looked like there was some reddish blood in my discharge (nothing on my underwear). Today it’s pink and brown and it’s landed on my underwear.

I’ve had a huge cry because I just feel so negative about it and feel it’s too late in the cycle for Implantation bleeding. I am also angry with myself as this was the cycle I didn’t really rest (I went out for dinner and a walk on the transfer day) and have been active since. The clinic has told me to up my progesterone to 3 a day (I wonder if that’s just going to prolong the inevitable). Sorry for being a downer. This is the 4th transfer in a year and the last cycle ended in a MMC. Spotting before test date has never happened to me.

Wishing everyone who is mid cycle or testing this week lots of luck!xxx

Hey, I had implantation spotting around that time so I wouldnt say you're out yet. Of course I dont want to build your hopes up but I hope your cry did you some good, sometimes it's just good to get it out! Good luck lovely, it's not over till its over!xxx

Indeed the cry did me the world of good I have to say! I am finding it so hard to stay off google or want to socialise. We put so much of ourselves into these cycles and the 2WW is horrible. Just robs us of who we are. I was due to meet some friends tonight but think I will relax as there will be a lot of baby talk which Will make me feel rubbish! Hope you and the Twins are doing well Cinders?x

It’s very natural to compare the body response to previous cycles. Each cycle is different and sometimes you would even be taking different meds and that makes it difficult to analyse also.. You have cried and vented out..sure that would have made you feel slightly lighter..try not to overthink..each day you are getting closer to the test day..

All the best 👍

Thank you Crazy_girl ! You’re so right- each cycle is so different. And the cry definitely helped! Xx

I know how you're feeling 💔 I'm 9dp5dt today and last night noticed a little bit of brown spotting too. There's a little bit today too. I was very disheartened yesterday and was sure I was out. Today I'm actually feeling a tiny bit more optimistic, but not greatly 😆 I haven't had a cry yet, I'll save that for my OTD, if need be 🤦‍♀️ . But sometimes you just need to let it all out 💚 I DEFINITELY don't think you should blame yourself if things don't work out this cycle... going for a walk and for dinner is absolutely fine. Light exercise is recommended, I think, to help get that blood to your uterus, so you've done nothing wrong xx

Not what you're looking for?
