20dpo

So the hubby and I have been trying to conceive for a few months now...

 The day of my missed AF (14 dpo) I had a positive FRER, the following day i had one as well. So I went in for hcg beta just to be sure (16 dpo) my level was 15, which they said was low so I may or may not be pregnant, to come back on 21 dpo to see if my levels were rising. Yesterday 19dpo, I woke up spotting very dark red blood with no clots, i wouldn't have had to change my pad if it hadn't been an all day thing, most of the time it didn't even reach the pad. This continued all day and today, 20 dpo, i am still spotting this dark red with no clots. I am having slight cramping and have confined myself to bed rest for the time being.

I believe this happened with my daughter as well, i remember thinking i had a really light period but she was a whoopsie baby so I wasn't looking for this at the time.

Any thoughts? I've read some people have late implantation bleeding or do you think this is an early miscarriage?  I will find out tomorrow when I get the blood test results back I guess but I'm freaking and my husband, says to just relax and wait.

Re: 20dpo

  • I dont have anymore currently. I thought about buying more in the morning when i go for my blood work but i think im just going to bite the bullet and wait until i get my results tomorrow and buy more next month if i have to.

  • I would think you'd have implantation spotting earlier than 19dpo. With that being said spotting during pregnancy doesn't always mean a miscarriage. The cervix is very sensitive. I know it stinks not knowing if its going to stick or not but unfortunately it's probably best to heed your Dhs advice and wait it out until the doctors tomorrow. I hope you get good news.

  • Wow, that sucks.  Here's hoping it's nothing to worry about, and that it sticks!  At least you only have to wait another day to go to the doctor.  Good luck to you, and positive, happy thoughts!
  • I don't think at this point it's implantation. It's possible that you ovulated late and caught the pregnancy really early, hence the low starting betas. Dark red continuous spotting and cramping, unfortunately, do not sound like good signs. However, your beta tomorrow should be able to tell you what you need to know. Even if you were to take another test, I've turned FRERs with levels as low as 7, so it's not necessarily going to tell you any more than you know now. I hope you get good answers.
