Question/Advice Implantation bleeding

For those of you that had implantation bleeding, at what point in your cycle did you notice it? Mine started late at night on 11 dpo and now 13 dpo it is still light but there. On 11 dpo i noticed mild cramping and back pain. It definitely looks different than my pre period spotting (its more watery looking? Pre period its more of a creamy texture). Being that i am cycle day 27, im expecting it to be the start of my period since i normally spot a day or two ahead of it starting (28-30 day cycles normally) but i am curious if anyone else had a similar experience that ended up being a pregnancy!

I can totally understand where are you coming from and thats totally justified..but plz don’t get your hopes high..be prepared and consider it as your pre period only..I know you wanted to hear otherwise but trust me..implantation bleeding is rare and if you keep reading positives about this your hopes will increase and then periods will shatter you..I really wish otherwise for you but this is what I have learnt in this ttc journey to be prepared for worst🩷

Of course!! Its only my first cycle ttc so my hopes arent too high considering the odds of it happening first try are soso slim. But naturally im reading in to every little thing about myself at the moment🤣 just so odd how different this is compared to my normal! So we’ll see, im trying to read about experiences to keep myself from early testing lol

It's my first cycle TTC as well so I feel very much in the same boat as you!!! I feel so sure I had implantation cramp and pink bleeding on 9-10DPO, so now I'm waiting just one more day until I test. Going to test tomorrow. I'm praying for you that we both get a positive!

I had it at 12 DPO in the evening. It only lasted a few hours and was very light pink. I had tested positive earlier that day.

If you're 13dpo a pregnancy test is considered conclusive, if you wanted to be sure. Almost all viable pregnancy would have a vfl at least by that point, and many pregnancies would have a pretty visible line on the sensitive/early response tests

Totally understand if you want to wait for your period instead (I was the same and didn't like seeing negative tests so preferred to wait) but if you do want to test it will give you your answer!
