Spotting.......IB or AF?

Another question for you lovely lot. Started getting a brown discharge friday eve and it has continued yest but only when wiped then today it's been a bit on a liner and when wiping and feels much wetter. I'm inclined to think it might be AF coming but i'm only 10 DPO today so would be quite early. Got a BFN yesterday. Do you think it's implantation bleed? Or could it be breakthrough spotting or does it mean AF is on it's way? Be honest with me, i can take it, lol!!!

  • If you are regular I would say its IB. Do you usually spot before full flow? The fact it is watering down would suggest its stopping and now mixing with CM. Increased CM is a very good sign.
    I dont want to get your hopes up as I have seen so many hopes getting dashed the past day or 2.

    Lots of luck hun xxx
  • Hi Wispa,

    Last month I had a little brown discharge about 2-3 days prior to af, and was quite excited as had never noted this before- alas af turned up. Grr, body playing tricks on me!

    I hope this isnt the case for you, good luck

  • Thanks so much for your comment babylove. Don't normally spot before AF but only 2nd cycle off pill so haven't really got a good idea of my natural cycles yet. So guess there's no way of telling really. thanks for luck, fingers crossed

  • Hi Wispa

    I am exactly the same, woke up fri to find pale pink on tissue. Put a panty liner on and went to work. Each time i went for wee pink or light brown on tissue but none on pad. This happened on and off Sat am too. I have never had spotting before a period before, always full on flow from the minute i wake up. I am not due af for a couple of days but have had sore boobs for at least a week. Decided to do a test, as feeling a bit off - one of those 10miu early detection ones and got a BFP! This was done about 4pm today and have done another 3 since, all positive, so sounds like you might be heading for the same? image

    I am going to do another with tomorrows first wee, as can't quite believe it!

    Fingers crossed!
