Q: So This Is Weird.

WARNING: TMI Embarassed

Something completely random happened to me a few hours ago. I had to pee, and like anyone that has to pee does, I went to the bathroom. After I wiped, I looked down to find light pink, almost orangish, on the toilet paper. I wiped a free more times and it was there lightly again. I haven't had anything since. I haven't had sex since last night and this wasn't occuring any time earlier during the day. I also have never had anything like this after sex before in my life. My period isn't due until 10 days from now, so this tinged toilet paper was a complete surprise. I didn't have ovulatory pains this month like I usually do, so I have no way of knowing if I ovulated earlier than I thought I did and that somehow by the grace of god this is implantation bleeding. I must admit that I have BDed, but lately I've been ovulating on my 11th CD, and the times closest to my fertile days were twice somewhere around CDs 6-8 and then again on the 13 and 14th CD. The only things I've heard about implantation bleeding are that it is very very uncommon to the point of being almost unheard of, very light, and that it occurs close to the same time as your expected period. I can only check off one of those things from the list, so it's probably not that, right?

I've never had anything like this before, never after sex or around ovulation or anything. It sounds kooky, but I looked in the toilet afterwards to see if my pee was ridiculously dark colored or anything, and it was almost completely clear. Even though I know I should probably just forget about it all together, I'm a little worried. baffle

a small percentage of women ever bleed or expirience bleeding at all during pregnancy. it could very well be implantation but it could also be that during sex he irritated your cervix causing spotting

That's what happened to me when I found out I was pregnant with Dallas. But it lasted for a day or so, so maybe it was the sex that irriated you and caused you to bleed a little. I wouldn't worry to much about it

Around one earlier today I had the same thing happen again! I didn't have sex last night and I knnnoooww this isn't my period coming on. It was really light, so who knows... I could be seeing things Laughing Maybe there's something wrong with me? I guess I should just wait and see if anything else comes up. It's probably just nothing.

What are you up there crossing your fingers about Sandy? Wink

Is it only when you go to the bathroom? Could you have a urinary tract infection maybe?

Umm... that's the only time I've noticed it. There's not enough of it to get on my panties really.

I wiped right before I peed today and noticed it looked like what I saw yesterday. I thought "no way...", then peed, and wiped again and saw the same very light coloring. The last time I went to the bathroom it wasn't there.

I've had a uti before and would definitely know if I had one again. That was not fun... at all.

So I know I'm probably going out of my mind right now, but I'm sure you all know how it is.

My bbs have been sooo tender around the nipple since yesterday. This isn't a normal thing for me, as I don't even have this with PMS. But then again, I'm probably just imagining things since this cycle has been weird for me. Period isn't due until Saturday though. I don't have anything else weird going on (haven't experienced any cramps or anything), but I have gotten a few breakouts which is weird for me...

Haha sandy...

ORRR I could just keep my head on straight and try to wait until Saturday.

When do you think I should test? Like, if I wake up Saturday morning and there's no AF should I go on and test then? Or should I wait and test if it isn't here by Sunday?

i would test a few days after ur period is late (if thats the case come this weekend) because u could be somehow off a few days about when it should start, and u dont want to waste ur money.

otherwise, i'd go to the dollar store and buy a couple.. use one Sunday morning and then again monday if still no AF AND no . They're just as accurate as the $15 ones, and u can afford to buy a few if u mess one up. (they're usually the kind u have to pee in a cup and use a dropper with pee on the little trick thing.. u cant just pee on it.)

I've had real light periods before too that weirded me out, but it wasn't like this. This was just like... three spots (in total between the two days) of reeeeaally translucent discharge I guess, even though the day it occurred on was a during a time when I had no discharge at all and was really dry. It also happened about 9 days before my period is due, and my cycles are short as it is. There's no way that was my period. I do know what you're talking about though.

I honestly think I don't have anything to be worried about though. Sorry to get your hopes up Sandy Laughing I just haaddd to share with someone about my boob problem today. It's only around the nipple area, but they've hurt so badly Sad I literally had to stop Lance from touching them.
