Still spotting

madhatterxo

It's been 3 days of very light brownish/pinkish spotting.  It's so light that I only need 1 pantyliner for the entire day.  There is no red blood, and hardly any cramps.  The only time I've had spotting at the end of a cycle was when I came off of Progesterone.  This cycle was completely unmedicated.  I don't even think I ovulated.  So confusing.  I think I might POAS to see if a miracle has happened with my less than 2% of ever conceiving naturally.  How long should I wait to POAS?  I have no idea if/when ovulation took place.

I have no advice as to when to POAS but you might as well do it now   Good luck!

Thanks!!  I just don't know how long I should wait after the spotting since I have no clue if I ovulated.  I guess I could just buy a jumbo pack of tests and see what happens.

If it is implantation bleeding that means the embryo is embedding and will start secreting HCG as it implants.  In general, HCG is detectable on most HPTs about 6 days after implantation begins.  I would say you would be safe to POAS - FRER - considering you have been spotting for a few days.

I got my + on a FRER 8dp3dt - implantation likely occurred around day 5 or 6 (so I tested 2-3 days post-implantaion), although I didn't have any spotting.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot.  I think I'm going to wait until Thursday to test unless AF comes.  I don't have any tests in the house, and DH won't be home much today and tomorrow.  I think it might be better to wait a few days anyway and see what happens.  Last night I was spotting more than the other two days so I don't really know what that means.  It could just be that this is a very strange cycle for me and AF is due.  I never know with my body.
