Thank you so much. It only lasted for a half a day and now it's gone. My friend just found out she's preg and did the same thing but yea then again it could just be a weird month for AF....who knows...lol...now everybody is telling me to give it three days (if it was implantation) and HCG should be in my urine by like wed morning...

Your welcome, I thought that it might help, or might not, you never know when sharing something with someone, sometimes it does, or gives them more information to go on themselves.  In January I did the exact same thing, was really late, and had a couple of days of some light brownish pink discharge with of course, no cramping, my AF is usally sooo bad, that I feel like I need to go to the ED for pain medicine, and fluids, because sometimes the pain is so intense that it makes me sick to my stomach, and I can't keep anything down.  Then of course, it made me wonder was that my AF that I just had for 3 days, with just that spotting or just very abnormal month...I guess obviously now that I have had AF this month, that it was just a very abnormal month.  Don't worry dear, there are more people than you think that go through the exact same confusion as you are experiencing, trust me I know.  LOL.  But, leave it to God, keep praying about it, and I will certainly keep you in my prayers, and again good luck...hopefully you will be the lucky girl that I wasn't and get that BFP!!  God Bless!

I had implantation bleeding at about 13 dpo. What dpo are you? When i had the bleeding, I had already gotten a BFP and I went to the ER and the doctor said it was old blood from when the baby implanted itself into my uterus. Good luck!!

Wow thank you so much for your story and I'm so sorry to hear about your M/C. Well today I'm five days passed AF and when I went to the bathroom I had a spot of brownish pink dishcarge and when I wiped. Totally NOT like my normal AF. usually when I start my AF I'm cramping REALLY bad and when I go to the bathroom I'm dripping LOTS of blood out. (sorry if TMI) so now I'M REALLY CONFUSED AGAIN....STORY OF MY LIFE....never had an AF like this before.

Maybe you are wanting to be pregnant so bad that you are "causing more stress on your self" than you realize? Thats what my Dr told me anyways, because I go through the exact same thing as you, EVERY month, sometimes, I will even skip an entire month because I have myself so worked up thinking that I might be pregnant!  It is soooo frustrating!  So, try not to think about it, and go take a hot relaxing bath, make yourself some chocolate chip cookies, (which the chocolate will help with your grouchy symptoms believe it or not), and a nice cold glass of milk!  I hope for your sake that it is a BFP!  It could be that your hormone level is just not enough to pick up on the pregnancy test, and you may just need to make a Dr appointment for a blood test!  Back in 2001, I got pregnant, and had a miscarriage.  But, I had my period every single month, never missed it, not one month!  I was 23 weeks when I lost my baby boy, Ayden!  But in the beginning of the pregnancy when I first found out, I never had sore BB's, and I wasn't moody or anything, just VERY sensitive to everything, and could cry at the drop of a hat!  Something intuitive told me to test.  I took 5 preganacy test, all of them EPT!  2 were positive, and the rest were all neg!  The Dr explained it to me as being that you could have a false negative, but not a false positive, and that for some reason my hormone levels were just soooo low, that it wouldn't ever pick up on a urine test, that I would have to always do a blood test...thats why this time. I went by the Lab at work and had them test my hCG level, and then I got a 1, which made me sooooo nervous that maybe this time I was pregnant, and then of course.....I started AF on Monday...and just ended yesterday....so unfortunately for me...I guess we are going to have to keep up the baby dancing, and I wish you the best of luck!  Kepp me posted!
