    Hi, I had implantation bleeding with my first son, but not with this one. I had v light bleeding for about a day and a half, before I got the bfp- it seemed like spotting, rather than af xx

    hi, just thought I'd tell you I had implantation bleeding with my first 2 babies - with my first I was convinced it was actually af and gave up hope of ttc for that month! Tested 7 days later (thinking, hang on, this doesn't feel quite like af after all!) and got bfp. Hope its all ok for you xx

    Hi,

    I didnt realise it at the time as I thought AF was on her way but I had implantation bleeding - I thought it was just a prerequisite to my af showing but then I realised 2 weeks later that it hadnt shown and took a test and found out I was pregnant ! I just assumed I had a really long cycle - DOH !

    But from what i've seen of other ladies on here who gets their bfps it seems very few do actually have implantation bleeding - I think SB has said it perfectly. Its talked about alot so seems common but isnt actually.

    i got implantation twice- first time i was gutted as thought it was AF i even used a tampon i was sure! anyway a week later i was getting brown discharge and was spotty i tested and BFP!! sadly this ended in a MC.

    month later same thing happend- i was waiting for first AF after MC and got all excited thinking it was AF as was quite heavy and a bit stringy (sorry TMI) i was a bit more aware this time so kept away from the tampons- a day later nothing happened i didnt have any more bleeding or discharge, just really bad AF cramps. anyway 2 days later i thought bugger it i'll test, bought an ASDA own and it came up straight away with 2 thick lines-BFP i couldnt believe it!
    26 weeks & 4 days later i still cant believe it sometimes!
    so good luck and dont always assume bleeding is your AF you just never know!!
