Question

Does this sound like IB or AF??

According to my period tracker, I was supposed to start my period today. But, its not uncommon for it to be late a day or 2. Sometimes a few days late. Anyways, last night I went to the bathroom, and when I wiped there was brownish pink on the tp. It wasn't enough to come out on my underwear, but it was a good amount. I thought my period was coming. (Usually I start out spotting and it just gradually gets darker and heavier until full blown AF). But the spotting was just that one time, and there is nothing since then. Now, 24 hours later, still nothing. I don't want to get my hopes up. I'm so scared that my body is just playing tricks on me. I'm so scared to see a bfn. What do you ladies think? Does this sound promising? Or should I prepare for the whitch's arrival?

Well, I tested this morning. BFN. If I was having IB Saturday night, I should've gotten a positive test by now. 99% sure I'm out. Again. I can't handle the disappointment anymore. I'm going to put ttc on a long hold.

To me it sounds like breakthrough bleeding. Also, period trackers are one of the least reliable methods of determining how many days past ovulation (and therefor days from your period) you are.

Implantation bleeding isn't really a thing as much as it's a very persistent myth. This is not to say some women don't have some luteal phase spotting and end up still being pregnant. But no studies so far have been able to show that any luteal phase spotting is a result of implantation. And all the studies I've read show that any luteal phase spotting, especially later in the luteal phase, are negative indicators for pregnant not positive indicators.

I'm sorry that you're disappointed. :( I definitely know that feeling after 11 months of TTC. It's horrible. TTC has a way of playing with your emotions like nothing else. I wish you all the best in the future. Hopefully you get your BFP finally whenever you're ready to try again.
