If you spotted before your BFP, come in...

If you experienced spotting during your LP before getting your BFP, what was it like?  I am currently spotting at 6dpo...  i really don't have any delusions that this is the mythical "implantation spotting" but rather think I may have some unknown medical reason for my riduculous LP spotting.  However, i'm curious to hear from some of you ladies - when did you spot?  how much?  how long did it last?  color/quantity?  Please don't leave any details out!  TIA!

At 14 and 15 DPO which was the day before and the day of my BFP, I had spotting. The day before my bfp I had pink spotting in the morning and a tiny big early in the day and then nothing. The day of my bfp I had pink spotting in the morning which turned to light brown spotting throughout the day. It was always very light and only when I wiped, but it freaked me out enough to call my doctor and let them know and they had me come in for some bloood work. So far everything's going great.

I had spotting right after my 7DPO temp dip.  It lasted about 3 days, was very light pink, and was only there when I wiped.  I'm convinced that was my sign of pregnancy (or miscarriage) because I NEVER spot between periods.  We'll find out next week!!

I spotted at 6DPO/7DPO. It was very small amount; only seen when I wiped and it was that nasty old blood brown. I think it was only a day that it happened.

I started spotting at 8 DPO and stopped at 12 DPO..  It was moderately heavy spotting and I kept thinking my period would start.  Definitely enough to stain my undies, and definitely got that rotten crotch smell and extreme moistness that usually comes with AF for me.  (GROSSSSS can't believe I just typed that).  Usually I spot for 1, maybe 2 days and then start AF, but I just kept spotting instead of AF starting.  I had a few small "gushes" of bright red blood - enough to put in tampons a few times but they were always virtually empty when I took them out.  On 11 and 12 DPO the spotting was only really light.

Then the spotting stopped completely at 12 DPO, and I thought it might just be on a 1 day hiatus before AF...then maybe a 2 day hiatus..and finally at 17 DPO I tested and got a really dark BFP.

I spotted on Day 9. I thought that it might have been my period starting, but it was pink and only once when I wiped. I was also really crampy. I tested the next day and got a BFP.

I had mild cramping 6dpo (approximately-- I'm not charting) and had light spotting for two days after that. The spotting was light pink in color and was only visible on the toilet paper. BFP was a week later.

I had spotting at about 10 dpo. It was just a little, once and I thought it was just signalling that AF was coming. I guess I was wrong!

I am a huge 'spotter' and it was what made me keep going to my OB/GYN to figure out what was going on with me. I finally had an HSG & lapro and was diagnosed with PCOS and endo.
When I got PG with our DD, I spotted well into my second trimester. When I got PG in February I spotted (light) and kept waiting for my menstrual flow to start. Only for it not to, then I took an HPT and was PG. This time around I was spotting (light again) and I kept waiting for my period to start. Finally gave in, took a HPT and was PG.
My spotting is very dark and not blood red at all. Not at all heavy enough for a liner, but just when I wipe.

Good luck!

I got my BFP on a Wednesday (24 days into my cycle, which was usually 35 days...) the Thursday and Friday before I spotted... which is to say that twice when I wiped there was a little bit of pink tinge to it... it was the same as the only spotting I have had since bfp, which was after sex shortly after we found out we were pregnant.

Haven't had any spotting since, including after a pap (had last week) that they told me I would spot after... I guess I have a tough little cervix...lol.

I wasn't charting so I don't know the DPO, but if I were the standard 28 day cycle cd14 ovulater, I started spotting on cd18.  And spotted until cd27.  It stopped and the next day I had cramping.  The day after that, I got my BFP.

For the most part it was pinkish brown or very light red and only on the toilet paper.  One morning (I think the 6th day) I woke up to a bit more brownish blood in my underwear, but a light tampon came out less than half filled.
