Unusual spotting 2 days before af, now 3 days late with negative test
Second month ttc. Perfect 28 day cycles, o'd on cd13. Had sore breasts, dizziness, nausea, fatigue. 2 days before af was due I started spotting brown only when I wiped but it was there only when I'd go to pee. Put a pad on thinking af was coming early, but next morning nothing on it. Went to pee and it was brown and pink but still only when I wiped. Then day af was due nothing .. spotting stopped. Now I'm 3 days late and negative tests. With my first I just knew I was pregnant and kept testing til I finally got a positive at exactly 1 week late, so I'm going to try and wait 4 more days and test again. Just trying to keep myself sane in the meantime. Wondering if I'm just willing af away. Has anyone else had a couple days of spotting and test negative and then get a positive later?

Sounds like implantation bleeding. I had implantation bleeding 4 days before my expected period. I didn't get a positive pregnancy test until about 5-6 days after my implantation bleeding ended. Once the embryo is implanted, it takes a few days for the HCG to build up enough to turn a test positive! Good luck! Don't give up hope! :)

Thank you! Gives me enough hope to keep from going crazy. I didn't have any kind of implantation bleeding with my first, so I really didn't know what to think about it.. I just knew it wasn't anywhere close to my normal af. Certainly helps a lot to hear from someone who's experienced it. Fingers crossed and lots of praying! I'll be waiting a few more days and test again.
