I’m confused

Could be implantation bleeding?

@Sofia Yes, but they were all early for me. They weren’t positive. But it didn’t stop my symptoms

@Sibs that’s what I think, but we aren’t sure. I had all three regular symptoms and none of them were my period symptoms

I’d book a gp appointment and get a blood test done to check if you’re pregnant x

Unfortunately period and implantation symptoms often mimic each other, especially when you really want to be pregnant. I would highly suggest doing ovulation tracking on an app and also the digital ovulation tests to tell you your best fertile window (they are more expensive than the sticks but easier to read), espescially over the course of a few months to really pinpoint when is peak. Keep your chin up, it’s very emotional but found the more positive you are the easier it is to get through. We conceived relatively easily the first time (2nd of third cycle) and took a year the second so just remember to run your own race and don’t get too disheartened if it doesn’t happen immediately, it will eventually!🩷🩷🩷

Sometimes I feel like we can get in our head when we really want to be pregnant. It usually takes a while to happen. I know for me, even though I knew logically it was unlikely to happen straight away, after every month trying I would be convinced I was pregnant and feel/notice all the symptoms. The truth is a lot of the time there are no symptoms til after a positive test and the pressure and stress can cause you to be late. Before pregnancy I had a few months where I was unsure if I had a chemical or if I had implantation bleeding but when I actually got pregnant I had a pretty sure positive test on the cheap test strips 4 days before my period was due. I would try not to overthink it and hold off testing too early. It happened for us when we werent thinking about it and the pressure was off and I know for a lot of our friends it was the same!

Sounds like you had a period, the lateness can be caused by sex and stress which probably came from the worry you put on your body hoping to be pregnant. Just give it time, God will bless you when it’s the right time!

I had implantation bleeding a week after I was due and I thought it was a period to find out I was actually pregnant I thought I was only 6 weeks but I was 9 when I had a scan.

@Sibs so you think it’s implanted?

Obviously everyone’s different but I think it could be a possibility

If my boyfriend and I tried to conceive twice, would that possible as well? We tried on the 1st and then the 9th.

It took me five years to conceive so the only advice I can give you is don't give up hope. I had given up and cried so many times because I thought it would never happen and that something was wrong with me even though my dr couldn't find anything wrong. Just keep trying and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞

Hello @Haylee, I agree with the ladies in the comments. It could be implantation bleeding but it could also be spotting from a period. Stress can definitely affect your periods and so can pregnancy. I would recommend checking in with your doctor/provider. ❤️🩷💚 Good luck on your pregnancy goals !!! 💗💯

Thanks ladies for all of the comments/advice!! 💙💝 @Sofia @Sibs @Emma @Kate @Shiv @Nhiya Cunningham @Liz
