hellooooo
nearing the end of this (insufferable!) TWW. as I've mentioned, it's our first try but we did all we could to maximize our chances (temping, mucinex, went to sleep inverted after insemination, pineapple, preseed, speculum, etc.). we couldn't stand it (read: I couldn't stand it), so we tested on 8dpo and 10dpo (today) - bfn. i surprisingly found relief in the bfn... i think i was more worked up to test than anything. i knew it was too early.
buuut then.. today! today i started to have some slight cramping/"pulling" sensations around 12 noon. it was accompanied by clear, elastic CM, but both "symptoms" passed fairly quickly. then at about 2 pm, the cramping returned (and was slightly more intense) and spotting started! i took this implantation spotting quiz (
https://www.babymed.com/could-this-be-implantation-bleeding-or-spotting-quiz) and signs all point to implantation bleeding. my plan was to test again tomorrow on 11dpo... but maybe it's still too early.
if you experienced implantation spotting on a pregnancy, how soon after it did you test positive?? any thoughts or feedback are, of course, welcome. FINGERS CROSSED!!
Me: 32 DW: 26 - married in october 2013!
TTC baby #1 at-home AIs with frozen donor sperm through cryobank, no meds
#1 early december 2013: 1 vial ICI/IVI at 8 hours past +OPK, likely a chemical loss at 9dpo
#2 late december 2013: 1 vial IUI, timing was way off, BFN
#3 took a month off and trying again mid-february... would love TWW buddies!
Re: implantation spotting? preeetty sure!
First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
I got all my BFPs on 10dpo though two of the three were mega squinters. 11dpo were pretty much undeniable. Good luck if you test!!
