Hello! So I know I posted about symptom spotting. Thank you all for your wise words by the way. I went to work today and forgot about it all and then I’ve come home and had a wee and bam I’m spotting! It’s only a tiny tiny bit but I am having mild cramps and now I’m worried my period is coming! I’m 4DP5DT today but before this I was taking the pill back to back due to endo. I’ve attached a photo (TMI I’m sorry!) but I’ve officially lost the plot and I don’t know if I should ring my clinic to ask for their advice as I’m scared I’m out of my periods on it’s way!

that's similar to what I had that was implantation... more pink than red 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼❤️❤️🍀🍀🍀
It is too early to be a period so it has to be implantation spotting, I think! At least it is a positive sign. I would get a FRER test to tomorrow or the next day to confirm.
Hi ZiggyandBC, I know it’s such a worry & not easy but I think this is a positive sign hunni, just wanted to wish you all the very best for when you test, positive vibes!!! Sending lots of baby dust to you! X
Thank you angel! I’m trying to get stay positive as I know it could be implantation but I don’t want to get my hopes up! ❤️❤️
Hi Z&BC,
I experienced this around the same time post transfer and for me it was likely implantation spotting. I'm holding my little boy now from that cycle 😍
Loads of luck🤞 xx
Thank you lovely! I’m hoping it’s a good sign but after so many negatives it’s hard! So glad you have your little boy ❤️ xxx
I get that completely and it can happen after a long time of negatives; we're in our 30s, creeping closer to 40 😬 and took us over 6 years for our first ever positive. Really hoping this is your time xx
It could be anything my lovely implantation, irritation from pessaries or indeed period. Sometimes I just get some spotting from the catheter going in and it shows a few days later. Defo phone your clinic if it will help but mine just always say keep taking your meds and test on test day 🤷🏻♀️Good luck xx
Thank you! I’ve been taking the pessaries rectally so I don’t think it’s that, I’ve had some more pink spotting this morning so I’m trying to prepare myself for my period. Im going to speak to a nurse today because surely I shouldn’t be getting my period this soon after the transfer? Im only 5DP! Xx
It does sound quite early for period (earliest I’ve had mine is 7dpt) but could be some break through bleeding or absolutely indeed implantation 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽Xxx
It started yesterday so 4DP5DT and still having it today at 5DP5DT. I’m not sure when my period would even be due after all the meds I’ve been on! Hopefully the nurse can offer some advice, I thought about maybe asking to get my progesterone levels checked in case they’re too low? Xx
Yeah that would be good if they could do that, my clinic don’t really do that test just add more in without testing but if yours would do that I think it’s worth trying! All we can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best and I’m hoping for the best for you 🤗💜 xx
Hello, this is a positive sign so long as the spotting doesn’t turn into a bleed. It’s around the time of implantation so fingers crossed for you. No harm in getting prog levels checked and requesting more supplementation. You can do a preg test in 48 hours as well because enough time will have passed since the spotting to give you a positive result. Best of luck xx
Thank you, a nurse is going to call me this afternoon so I’ll ask if I can get it checked and see what she says. I’ve had some lower back/cramping on and off yesterday too. I’m really reluctant to take a test as I just wanted to get the results form the blood test I’ll be having on the 20th! I’ve seen too many negatives I can’t bear to see another one xx
Update - pretty sure I’m out. I’ve had some red blood since on and off, I spoke to the nurse who said there’s nothing they can do and to wait it out. Feeling devastated
Really sorry to see this lovely. But, red doesn’t mean you’re definitely out. It’s so hard to keep going but it’s not long til test day. Hugs xx
That’s what my OH keeps saying. I’m having AF type cramps too. It’s not a full bleed but heavier spotting than yesterday. I usually spot a few days before my period too so I think it’s that. Im just annoyed that we didn’t even get to test day!! X
Hope you’re ok. It’s not uncommon to bleed before OTD. This happened to me and it was indeed my period. Demand more progesterone next time. Haven’t had a successful round yet but at least I only bleed a few days after I stop the meds. Wishing you all the best either way xx
Thank you! It’s literally been a tiny bit over the days 4,5 & 6 DP5DT. Never enough to mark my pants, but there when I wipe some times. I had cramps too a few days ago that have stopped now so I’m wondering if it’s my period trying to start but the pesseries are holding it off? I have my blood test on Wednesday xx
It’s so hard to know without a home or blood test at this point but I’d say the fact that it’s a tiny bit is a positive sign (I had a full flow) so keeping everything crossed for you xx
Thank you lovely! I keep checking every time I go for a wee, I’m driving myself mad! 😫❤️
