How common is "implantation bleeding"?

Hi there!
I've been TTC for a year now and I'm looking for pregnancy clues.
Anyone who's pregnant had spotting or light bleeding right before their period and still found out they were pregnant? Looking to demystify this implantation bleeding theory... How common is it for those who have been preggy before? Thanks everyone!

    I had implantation spotting twice. Both times it was tiny pink threads in cm while wipe.

    @MadDoda thanks for the reply. What does “in cm” mean?

    I never had implantation spotting with my son. Just had 1 tiny dot of tan/pink discharge this time around. And I mean a TINY spot. I’ve read only a small percentage actually get spotting

    This means it’s most likely AF than implantation bleeding.. I had the spotting 3 days.. I said to myself I’ll wait until Sunday if I don’t have a flow come, I might not even make it then 😢.. I feel so discouraged and disheartened.. just wanna hide in my sheets

    Implantation can last for up to 5 days. Was it red blood?

    It’s pink.. I put in a tampon just so I’m not examining myself in the bathroom every 10 seconds

    Have you taken a test recently? If it is implantation, you wouldn’t want to have a tampon in

    Didn’t wanna take a test too early.. that why I’m not optimistic anymore 😪.. I just don’t want to wake up tomorrow morning covered in case I’m wrong.. it would be my first pregnancy so I don’t know Wut to expect

    How many dpo are you?

    How about cramping? I start feeling my menstrual cramps during the luteal phase off and on. I usually take this to mean I'm not pregnant (which has been the case), but I always read online people feel cramping "in early pregnancy", but what about the TWW? Has anyone ever had cramps and ended up being pregnant?

    I just got my BFP this month and I had cramping at 14dpo, the day that AF was due. I got my positive the next day when I tested. It felt just like period cramps and lasted all day 
  • VickyK.VickyK. Regular
    I’m 14 DPO.. @Luna87 yeah cramping during the lutéal phase, especially at 5 DPO.. I have a bit now but nothing major 
  • Rachel.a21Rachel.a21 Regular
    @VickyK. I hope you get your BFP. If you are 14dpo, you could test if AF doesn’t come 
  • VickyK.VickyK. Regular
