Frustrating
Bunny
Hi ladies,
I'm curious what you all think...
I stopped the pill at the end of December and got my period on schedule in January. After that, I really tried hard around my ovulation. But last Wednesday I got bleeding, on Thursday as well, and on Friday it turned into brown smears. On Saturday, I also had a bit of brown when wiping after peeing. Normally, I just have four days of red bleeding.
Now, last Tuesday, the 17th, was my expected period date. Of course, no bleeding now. But also no positive test. I tested again today, also negative.
I don't know if I had my period last week or if it was implantation. I thought it was the latter because it was so short and I never have brown discharge. But now that the test is still negative today, I think it might have been my period... Only then my ovulation was earlier than usual, and I should have been trying these past days. Or can it take a long time for a test to show positive if you're pregnant?
I find this so frustrating!

Hey bunny!
I totally get your frustration! I don't have a regular cycle either, and just when I think I'm getting the hang of it, I get spontaneous bleeding again. If I were you, I'd test again in a week. (I know a week feels like an eternity, haha!) I really hope it was an implantation, that's totally possible!! A friend of mine got a positive test just 9 days after her expected period. I'm rooting for you! -

Hey Vetra, yeah it's really annoying when you can't make sense of it, when you don't understand what's going on inside you. When it all doesn't seem to add up, but it probably will. Anyway, it's sweet of you to share that your friend had to wait even longer for a positive test. So there's still a little bit of hope, while we're already busy renovating again. I hope it works out for you guys soon too! -

I had exactly the same thing. It also started with implantation bleeding at 3 weeks (a little bit of blood, just a few panty liners without the usual clots), but no positive tests either, not even after 5 weeks. Then, 3.5 weeks after the bleeding started, I got my period again. Looking back, I think it was a breakthrough bleed or shedding after 3 weeks. This time, it was a 4-week cycle (tested with ovulation tests), and I hope it sticks this time. But, as they say, every body is different. So I hope it works out for you guys too. -

Hi Bertha,
Okay, it does sound familiar up to a certain point. But then I'll just have to wait for my next period. So you mean you have a normal cycle again, right? We'll see. I'll hope with you that this time it worked. I can only wait and see what happens and when my period starts again...
