Cramping and spotting 4-5dpo
Hey I'm new to this page have been TTC for 3 months. I O'd on 5th August (I think - positive OPK 4th,5th &6th) and yesterday and today I've had cramping and spotting.
The spotting yesterday was red and its more of a brown today. Cramping doesn't feel like AF it's more of a stabbing pain on the left side of my uterus.
Any help/info would be appreciated. My first baby was a lovely "accident" and I wasn't symptom spotting early on. Now it's driving me crazy every month! I'm thinking its more ovulation cramps and spotting than implantation as it seems too early?
Thanks :) xx

Hi, I also think I ovulated on 5th August so looks like we are cycle buddies. I'm expecting af on 19th. The only symptom I've had till now is tiredness. Do you usually spot around ovulation? Also I think Implantation bleeding is usually light pink or dark brown in colour. I am avoiding symptom spotting as I get quite convinced that I'm pregnant and then feel devastated when it's not true. So trying to forget about it till its time to test or af arrives. Anyway good luck and baby dust to you!

Hey, I'm due AF on 17th - have a 26 day cycle! I've been tired today, had a nap this afternoon. Other than that nothing else. I don't usually spot mid cycle at all, so I'm hoping this is a good sign. I told myself I'm not symptom spotting this month after the last 2 but I can't help it. Let me know how you get on - fingers crossed and lots of baby dust! xx
