HomeOnTheRanch Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yesterday I, um, my friend ;) had slight bleeding (slight=pink on tissue, but none on pad). She thought she might be getting a period since she hasn't had one since she got pregnant with her 13-month old (still nursing a few times a day). However, she is thinking it could have been implantation bleeding since she hasn't had any bleeding since. Today she has had slight cramping. Not quite as bad as menstrual cramps, but more like ovulatory cramps. She knows all about TCOYF and knows all the signs and symptoms. There have been several times over the past few months she thought she was gearing up for a period, but it never happened. She hasn't bothered charting yet, so other than the bleeding yesterday, there are no dates to pinpoint anything. She has taken a weekly pregnancy test since last June and they all, including the one 2 days ago were negative. What do you think? How soon could she take another test? She'll take another next Sunday, but she's itching to take one sooner if she may get some info sooner. TIA! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'd wait til Sunday. Some women get discharge and cramping with implantation, others get none of either. Wait and test. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA! :bigear: Is she completely, ridiculously exhausted beyond comprehension (besides that which already came with the job)? If so, she should re-test in the morning. If not, she should wait until Sunday, as proposed. :D I didn't even need a pregnancy test for DS3. I took two naps in one day and I knew.

jenL Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I don't think I could wait until Sunday because I'd be dying to find out, but I would give it another couple of days just to be sure... Friday morning sounds good :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 With my oldest, I had what at first I thought was simply a shorter & lighter than normal period. I had cramps during this, which is fairly typical for me. It wasn't until my BBT hadn't dropped a week into my "new" cycle that I decided to test. I have had the most accurate results with Clearblue Easy Early Detection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I got light spotting, then nothing for a day, then AF the next day with one period while BFing. I also got funny cramping, then pink spotting the next day, then a bfp almost a week later. ;) It takes several days to build up hcg if it was implantation, so wait a few days if you can! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I had implantation bleeding with my 3rd, I tested 10 days later and had a positive result. Sunday will likely be too soon, if you just had implantation yesterday give it until next Wednesday at the soonest, next Friday would be my test day if I was your "friend" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The soonest I've registered a positive was 10 days past conception, or 2 days past implantation spotting. I'm so impatient, I'd hit up Dollar Tree for several cheap tests (they say they detect one of the lowest amounts of hcg I've seen claimed on a test) and test daily.

HomeOnTheRanch Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Since 25 tests are bought at a time on ebay, it was just too much of a temptation. Another was taken this morning. Negative. No big surprise, but informative. Another will be taken on Sunday, and every Sunday thereafter until one is positive. :001_smile: I, er, she might just take another on Friday given all the other symptoms.

HomeOnTheRanch Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Negative tests on Friday and today. She'll be testing on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. After that she'll go back to the once a week testing until symptoms change. ***** Incidentally, years ago I had a friend who had a 3rd baby. When that baby was about a year old she started feeling pregnant although she never had a period. After a few more months of no period, negative tests, and tighter clothes, her 6yo asked when the baby was going to be born. She went to the doctor and sure enough, she was a few months along.

HomeOnTheRanch Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 For informational purposes...AF arrived today. Past spotting could have been ovulatory, but 19 days is kind of long...but this body isn't known for being typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
