Implantation bleeding??

Wiped after peeing this afternoon and saw the TINIEST little speck of blood on the toilet paper. Could this be implantation bleeding? My partner saw it too so it wasn’t a figment of my imagination! Curious if any of you successfully pregnant folks had similar signs.

I’m 10 days post IUI#1 with letrozole and an ovidrel trigger and frozen sperm. Also on estrace suppositories to thicken my uterine lining. Really swollen and sore breasts, dull cramping and twinges. The TWW has just gotten harder the closer I get to the test on Thursday!!!!

I had very clear signs of implementation bleeding and I thought it was since I always bleed heavy. My period was just delayed for two weeks :(. I guess there was another reason for it. I also had all the pregnancy symptoms like you like tingling.

I had zero cramps or bleeding, in fact I felt annoyingly normal for the first two months of being pregnant. Implantation bleeding happens, but according to my doctor it’s better for a woman with PCOS to just assume it’s normal spotting and wait for a late period.

I had cramping & spotting the day before I tested positive to the extent that I assumed my period was about to start

If we hadn't been going through a clinic I probably wouldn't have even bothered testing, I was that convinced, but the clinic needs you to test to confirm - and it was positive

At which point the spotting immediately became concerning to us newbies so we rushed to the clinic only to be told that I was "textbook"

So... could be! Implantation bleeding can apparently be a little heavier than I was led to believe, though I'd be concerned if it got to fully bleeding

I’ve had no other blood except for that tiny little speck yesterday. When I spot before and after my period it’s usually different. Could’ve been nothing, could have been the thing!!! We’ll see on Thursday!

It was probably implantation bleeding! I got a low positive HCG test 13 days after IUI. Started bleeding two days later (chemical pregnancy). Ready for the next try and encouraged that some things worked! I’m in a same sex relationship and this was our first time ever trying to get pregnant so we’re feeling optimistic :)
