Hi ladies,
I'm new here and so if I'm posting this in the wrong place I apologize. I just have a question about implantation
I haven't been actively ttc, so I haven't kept track of anything but,
I've had some symptoms for mostly the past week or so. Sore swollen boobs, nausea, light cramping, headaches, fatigue, constipation, etc. AF is due today, and I woke up feeling fine. Usually when I start my period I wake up with horrendous cramps from hell. Later, I started getting light cramps that come and go. Feels more like pressure than anything. My tummy is rumbling and lot, and I suddenly had to go poo. I had some loose stool and then when I wiped my pee, the tp had some light red/light brown blood on it. This has happened twice since I've peed, and then stopped. Do you think this is implantation bleeding or just AF playing a trick on me?
Re: Implantation bleeding
There's no way to know whether what you're experiencing is due to pregnancy unless you have a positive HPT. Enough hCG for symptoms of pregnancy = enough to turn a test positive.
Implantation bleeding is fairly rare, and can only be confirmed in hindsight after confirmation of pregnancy.
Bottom line? Take a test.

2. Check out the pinned threads at the top of the board, particularly the Ultimate Guide to TTGP. Board guidelines, lingo, temping info, etc up there.
3. Go ahead and test if you like, but there's no way to actually know whether AF is due today since you haven't been charting, and O dates can change for any given month. Test once a week until a + or AF, and call your doctor if neither occurs in 60 days.
If you're not pregnant and you plan to stick around, read up on the info pinned up top, lurk around, and jump in on the WTO/TWW threads. Lots to be learned here.
DD #2: EDD July 2016
You're not the first and you certainly won't be the last to get some push-back for this. Here's the thing--you apologized, which is great. Several ladies have gotten flamed (much worse than this), apologized, and become valued posters. Stick around--it's worth it!
Thing is, there are rules in place for a reason. You broke them.
