8dp5dt - too late for spotting to be a good thing?

Hi all.

I’m currently 8dp5dt (fresh), and have had light spotting all day. I’ve never before had spotting during the 2WW, even when I got my one BFP. I know implantation bleeding is a thing, but isn’t 8dp a bit late for that?

I’ve never got my period while still on progesterone either - every BFN I always had to come off meds to get a bleed.

So don’t know what to think - I know the answer is to wait for OTD, but any thoughts or encouragement would be great 😬 xx

Wishing you all the best. It could just be the drugs, I know people get spotting before BFPs. When I got spotting it was before a BFN but it doesn't seem to indicate either way! xo

Hi lovely, sorry I don’t know if you are getting red or Brown spotting but during my 2ww I had brown spotting the night before and slight cramps he night before my test day, woke up still there and got a positive. It really puzzled me but when I asked the hospital they maintained it was implantation bleeding so fingers crossed xx

I've never had spotting but a good friend of mine had what she thought was a full on period with clots and bright red blood that arrived a few days early...next month no period and a pregnancy tests said not pregnant...2 weeks later still no period but a positive pregnancy test! She got her official results and a scan about a week and a half later to find out she was 12 weeks along! She was shocked because of the heavy period! 😱 That heavy period with clots was implantation bleeding for her...so spotting comes in all forms!! You're still in with a chance! I don't think bleeding means anything good or bad until you get that test on test day! Good luck!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Congrats that’s wonderful :) Thanks so much - but full blown bleeding this morning, so looks like an early period. I reckon we’re out for this one. Try again…. 🙏🤞

It could be left over blood, from implantation bleeding.

I had some brownish spotting at 5 weeks. My nurse said spotting is really common with IVF.

Got everything crossed for you xx

I had spotting on days 7 and 8 post transfer and now 23 weeks pregnant, so it’s definitely not too late. I thought that was right when implantation bleeding was supposed to happen? Mine was pink/brown, very light spotting but regular for 2 days.

Sounds like good news to me. Wishing you all the best.

I thought implantation bleeding was normally more like 3-5 days after transfer - but I may we’ll be wrong!

Anyway, Thanks so much, but full on bleeding this morning so it looks like an early period. Think we’re out for this one…. 😥
